Review the 6 basic steps required to transition to an agile culture that will accept the Agile Mindset
The major criteria standing in the way of agile adoption or improvement are in the hands of managers, not the teams themselves. But many managers have been trained to think in ways that are a century old.
Agile organisations require a new mode of management and a new style of leadership. This talk discusses why this is and what this new paradigm might be like for your organisation.
Culture is critical for understanding how to succeed with Agile. We will explore culture and how Agile impacts organizations. In this session, you will learn the Schneider culture model and how it can be applied to make changes that align with your organization's culture.

What changes are needed in management and leadership to move towards the new lean culture of creative and knowledge work?
My presentation from Agile Finland's Modern Agile Breakfast.
Maximizing Business Success Through Organizational AgilityNick Born
Agile organizations look across the multiple dimensions of organization structure, processes, talent, leadership, and culture and embed flexibility in each. Through a system of HR practices and an integrated foundation of management practices, agile organizations are able to consistently respond to environmental trends and disruptions, move closer to the speed of ideas, and seize market opportunities. These collective capabilities drive sustained organizational performance. In this study, CAHRS Research Assistants Nicholas Born, Kasey Kovack and Matt Olson discuss the results of their research on organizational and HR agility. They share specific examples as they relate to:
• Key catalysts for organizational agility
• Obstacles to agility and knowledge sharing
• HR’s role in driving the right people outcomes to support the organizational culture, human capital, and knowledge exchange opportunities that support organizational agility
• What specific talent management and HR practices drive organizational agility
• Opportunities to assess impact of organizational agility
Hands-on Agile: Agile Maturity—Fad, Trend or Holy Grail—Survey ResultsStefan Wolpers
The slide-deck summarizes the preliminary findings from a survey among agile practitioners what factors influence the maturity of an agile transition at an organizational and at a team level.
SURVEY INTRODUCTION 2017-10-19:
“This was the best sprint we have ever had. We are becoming (more) agile.” Somehow, a sense of progress always seems to be fuzzy notion when it comes to ‘agile.’ And the question at the heart of all of it is always the same: How do we find out that we are ‘agile’ and are not merely practicing a form of cargo cult version of it?
Providing a path to an ultimate state of being has been a core principle of many teachings in philosophy, sociology, politics, and religion: If you follow this code, if you accept the guidance of your life by the following rules everything will be fine. (And for everyone’s convenience, we provide you with a book, a guide, and probably even a checklist.)
To no one’s surprise, the agile world is not exempt from that. What started with the Manifesto for Agile Software Development — four values and twelve principles that fit on a single page —, was followed by the still light-weight Scrum Guide. Today, the caliber of teaching has changed — just have a look the big picture diagram of SAFe® — and even in the agile world, the path to the promised land seems to be meticulously laid out.
Help us to understand better what the goal of becoming ‘agile’ means for an organization by contributing to this short anonymous survey. It will not take more than five minutes of your valued time. Of course, the results of the survey will be shared at a later stage.
Workshop at the Regional Scrum Gathering Tokyo 2017 about Management 3.0.
In this workshop we experienced how to energize people with a simple card game called “Moving Motivators”, developed by Jurgen Appelo, the founder of Management 3.0.
Management 3.0 is a movement of innovation and leadership with management as a group responsibility. Its goal is to help you grow and transform organizations into becoming great places to work.
The Moving Motivators Game is not only a tool for learning about each others intrinsic motivation, it is also an effective communication exercise and it is always great fun for all participants.
Agile HR or Talent Management as we call it in Agile organizations turn the entire organization around. It’s employees centric, delivering value to the whole organization. At a glance, not much had changed. We still need to hire people, take care of people growth, do evaluations. Only the way we work changed significantly as the focus shifted to support the overall employee experience. Interested in what does that mean? Let me guide you through the change of mindset, practices, and tips on how to build the new Agile HR.
LO:
- Understand the fundamental need behind the Agile HR shift
- Be aware of how HR can help the organization to change the mindset
- Know what practices to avoid
- Get a number of useful practices to become your Agile HR journey

Management 3.0 es el futuro de la gestión. Creada por Jurgen Appelo, es una innovadora forma de afrontar el liderazgo y la gestión de equipos y organizaciones, que entiende que la gestión no es una responsabilidad exclusiva de los directivos, sino un trabajo de todos, y que el liderazgo debería tener como objetivo hacer crecer y transformar organizaciones en un gran lugar para trabajar, donde la gente está involucrada, el trabajo cada día es mejor y los clientes están encantados.
Management 3.0 es un movimiento de innovación, liderazgo y gestión. Una revolución en los modelos de gestión, que reúne a miles de directores de proyectos, jefes de equipo, directores y empresarios, para redefinir el rol del liderazgo en las organizaciones.

Leading a large-scale agile transformation isn’t about adopting a new set of attitudes, processes, and behaviors at the team level… it’s about helping your company deliver faster to market, and developing the ability to respond to a rapidly-changing competitive landscape. First and foremost, it’s about achieving business agility. Business agility comes from people having clarity of purpose, a willingness to be held accountable, and the ability to achieve measurable outcomes. Unfortunately, almost everything in modern organizations gets in the way of teams acting with any sort of autonomy. In most companies, achieving business agility requires significant organizational change. Join @Mike Cottmeyer live from #Agile2017 during this workshop.
A Leadership Survival Guide to Transformation - Aldo Rall & Andy Cooper - Agi...AgileNZ Conference
Agile has become a source of disruption to organisations and leadership. Prevailing trends shows that organisations are de-layering and some are even decimating their hierarchies. This disruption driven by Agile and, more recently, DevOps and Agile Scaling, challenges tradition; there is a call for wider skill sets and controlled, sustainable transformations, pushing leadership and organisations into wider and often conflicting and ambiguous contexts.

Enterprise agile transformation is a complex journey. It involves cultural change, org restructuring, reinventing processes and tools, and a visionary who can lead the change.
Agile HR: Transforming a Human Resources Team Using ScrumSeedbox
At Seedbox Technologies, we use agile development and scrum in all our engineering teams and have the vision of becoming a fully agile company one day. To support this vision, some of our non-engineering teams are starting to adopt and adapt agile principles that will help them deliver more value for our customers, partners, and team members. Here is a kickoff presentation we created to start this transformation with one of our HR teams, responsible for driving our company culture projects. We hope this can inspire other technology (and non-tech) companies to make a similar change in their organizations.

The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.

Editor's Notes
Space Race - After world war
Russia put Yuri Gagarin in April 1961 – flight lasting 108 minute
JFK in Sept 1962 speech “We Choose to go the Moon”
Apollo Program – 1961 till 1972
Apollo I – 1967 – fire on the craft caused the fatality of all 3 astronauts on board, whilst space craft was still in earth
20 months of black out period testing before space missions resumed
Apollo 11- Kranz: Stand behind every decision they make during the mission, we go in as a team and come out as a team
Edgar Schein: educated in Stanford University – master’s degree in psychology in 1949, and Harvard in 1952 PhD in Social phycology, 1964 joined MIT as professor of organizational psychology and management.
On purpose using ”Philosophy” instead of purpose, don’t want people get confused with mission statement. This is not that.
