Leading change in the 21^st century? You need a 21^st century engagement model:

Needs-based

The old way based on prescribed solutions is the way of pain and disappointment. Needs are both the place to start and the ultimate test of success – because if solutions aren’t meeting needs, what’s the point?

Outcome-oriented

The positive, humane, and complexity-aware alternative to the imposed rollout: authentic agreement on outcomes as the catalyst for change, the focus for self-organisation, and the driver for innovation.

Continuous

Lasting success comes not from one-off projects with their uncertain results and the near-inevitability of backsliding, but from the practice of continuous change, deliberate realignment, and ongoing conversations.

Open

Agendashift is built out in the open, with open licensing, by and for a welcoming community of experienced practitioners working at the intersection of Lean, Agile, organisation development (OD), and strategy deployment.

Visualising Agendashift: The why and how of outcome-oriented change and continuous transformation

First, what doesn’t work (or at least it fails more often than it succeeds), transformation (Agile or otherwise) as project: Using a shallow and dysfunctional version of a model that was already tired 20 years ago [1], linear plan meets adaptive challenge in a complex environment. Seriously? I’m not sure which is the saddest thing […]

At last! Featureban 3.0 and Changeban 1.2

As long promised, there is now an official 3.0 version of Featureban that incorporates the best of Changeban, making it easier to facilitate and more fun to play. Changeban itself has a new version 1.2 after some weeks in beta. For the uninitiated, Featureban is (and I quote) our simple, fun, and highly customisable kanban simulation […]
