The bottleneck in your agile transformation is probably not located with your teams, your product owners, your scrum masters, your agile coaches or any other first-line employee. It’s likely in how willing and committed your leadership is to making time for learning, both for themselves and for the first-line employees. Transformation – true transformation – requires learning. And learning requires time. Impatience will make all of that harder.

It’s not “reduce, reuse, recycle”. It’s “refuse, reduce, reuse, recycle”.

It’s almost 1 am and I can’t fall asleep. I’ve been pondering that for a good two hours now. Why can’t I fall asleep? And then I remembered: I don’t drink coffee, but today I was asked if I wanted Starbucks and instead of going with just a hot chocolate, I went for a Mocha. That’s why I can’t sleep. And I have a three hour event where I need to co-facilitate starting in 7 hours. I unconsciously made a bad choice and am paying the price.

Draw what agile parallel you will/can from that.

I totally adore the Susan Cain email newsletter auto-response.

I wonder what this conversation brings up for you?

What’s your framework for creating new frameworks? Your model for creating new models? Your methodology for creating new methodologies?

Seven years ago today we published Patterns of Agile Journeys. It’s a quick read. You might find it useful. Link in comments.

How about this: companies put AI to use in the fight against junk and phishing email. THAT would be a good use of compute power.

AI is not going to solve human behavior or human thinking problems. I think we are at an “Ian Malcolm” decision point.

An agile transformation is an MMPORG – massively multiplayer parallel organizational roleplaying game. You need a really good DM / GM for that. That’s what an enterprise coach is.
