Agility Scales
“How do we motivate our people
and improve engagement?”
“How do we scale agile
principles and practices
to large organizations?”
“How can we grow faster
and change faster and be
more agile?”
There is not
enough change.
Good People
Bad Systems
The whole is less than
the sum of the parts.
We teach people with
workshops, courses,
books, frameworks,
conferences, but…
Agility Scales
“People resist
change.”
“No, people resist
being changed.”

People resist change? Really?
Seriously?

Are you kidding me?
Anyone who claims that
“People resist change”
is just incompetent.
Anyone who claims that

Everyone wants agility at scale,
but nobody knows how to change.

Agility Scales
Shapeshifters
are the
ultimate form
of agility.
They adapt to
context,
every day.
In the 21st century,
successful organizations
are hard and soft.
Fast and slow.
Solid and liquid.
Organized and self-
organized.
Agility
Have the right form,
in the right place,
at the right time.
Holacracy

To deal with changing goals,
organizations must become
shapeshifters.

Decisions are more
efficient when they are
centralized.
Is it command-and-control?
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Is it fully self-organized?
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Or somewhere in between?

You don’t want to lose the
benefits of control while
achieving the benefits of self-
organization.
“Stop Your ‘Agile’ Transformation! Right. Now.”
https://medium.com/agility-scales/stop-your-agile-transformation-right-now-
6cf2ef2fa1a
Agility means self-balanced,
not self-organized.
FRAMING
THE
CHANGE
18 months passed between version 4.0 and
version 4.5 of the Scaled Agile
Framework.
3 years passed between version 2013 and
version 2016 of the Scrum Guide.
2 years passed between version 4.0 and
version 4.1 of Holacracy.
“Agile Methodologies Are Not Agile”
https://medium.com/agility-scales/agile-methodologies-are-not-agile-d6411126d80
When continuous deployment
is painful, do it more
often! Create the
technology to make it
easier.

Scrum
“Scrum’s roles, artifacts,
events, and rules are
immutable and, although
implementing only parts
of Scrum is possible, the
result is not Scrum.”
Pull or push?

Methods and frameworks
offer great ideas in
terrible packaging.
Turn big-picture frameworks into
small-picture roadworks.
WHY
PEOPLE
CHANGE
Agility Scales
Traditional change
programs usually fail.
Agility Scales
Changing them versus changing ourselves
Wrong approach to strategy/planning
Not thinking systemically
Lack of awareness of context
No options and scenario planning
No continuous improvement process
Not creating a guiding coalition/champions
Lack of leadership capabilities
Not enough resources available
Technological incapabilities
No coaching/training available
No compelling reasons were offered
Intrinsic motivation was not addressed
Lack of repetition/bad communication
Lack of action, only talking
Expecting a quick fix/instant success
Not removing obstacles/impediments
Not celebrating short-term wins
Lack of incentives/monitoring/steering
Declaring victory too soon
People have no
problems changing
(when they want to).
All of the neurological and
physiological systems that
underlie happiness are fully
activated by gameplay.
Jane McGonigal
Reality Is Broken
What is it that people do
in games?
Agility Scales
Game developers know better
than anyone else how to inspire
extreme effort and reward hard
work.
Jane McGonigal
Reality Is Broken
Gamification is the application of game-
design elements and game principles in
non-game contexts [...] to improve user
engagement, organizational productivity,
flow, learning [...] A majority of studies
on gamification find it has positive
effects on individuals.
- Wikipedia
Gamification

Some people try
gamification.

RECAP
Everyone wants agility at scale,
but nobody knows how to change.
To deal with changing goals,
organizations must become
shapeshifters.
Agility means self-balanced,
not self-organized.
Turn big-picture frameworks into
small-picture roadworks.
We don’t need frameworks;
We need fun and fireworks!
Don’t make it a rule;
make it a habit.
That is how agility
scales in large (and
small) organizations.
To be agile and innovate at scale,
organizations must be shapeshifters,
by continuously trying practices,
shifting between control and freedom,
gamifying all small improvements,
and turning behaviors into habits.
