Imagine...

Everyone able to work consistently at their ideal best:
  • Individuals, teams, between teams,
    across the organisation and beyond
  • Right conversations, right people, best possible moment
  • Needs anticipated, met at just the right time

Chapter 1 of Agendashift: Outcome-oriented change and continuous transformation (2018) describes the True North used in conjunction with 15-minute FOTO, our coaching game. Instead of a lecture on Lean and Agile, we like to start with the True North as a jargon-free invitation that engages the imagination. For a summary of the facilitation pattern at play here, read Ideal, Obstacles, Outcomes (IdOO). Making explicit the relationship between this generative image and the IdOO pattern, “best” has become “ideal best” in a 2020 revision.
