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.
