The Future is already here and evenly distributed among the global members of the Change Agents Worldwide (CAWW) network. This half-day workshop shared their secrets: how they work, their values, how they adopt/adapt/exapt new ways of working with their global team. A team of Change Agents discuss leading organizational concepts such as: new models for organizational design, the power of self-organization, social and organizational network analysis, and more. They discussed the cornerstone of what makes their networked organization work: transparency, trust, authenticity, and a culture of sharing and cooperation. The CAWW network exemplifies how social and operational integration yields iterative improvements in responding to customers, working collaboratively with partners, and creating value in the marketplace. The workshop also covered what supports their work: SWARMS, Pods, Cookie Jars, Green Rooms, and other new processes based on agile and self-organizing principles.
Catherine Shinners, Simon Terry and Joachim Stroh from Change Agents Worldwide present a new story on the Future at Work at the FB Workplace event at Facebook HQ in Apr 2017.
Change Agents in our network co-created this manifesto or credo. In order to be a change agent in our network, you must agree to live and work by these principles.
Working with Enterprise Social Networks, companies who work in a network can fully employ transparency and the power of a new kind of organizational design to deliver value for customers. See this case study by Change Agents Worldwide to learn how a global team works without email.
TriFinance Book Club: Abundance by Peter DiamandisTriFinance
For their first edition, the TriFinance Book Club has read 'Abundance' by Peter Diamandis and Steven Kottler. The book explores how four major forces are conspiring to solve our biggest problems. It serves as an antidote against pessimism and sets hard targets for change.
TriFinance / ParkLane Insight Group has been applying the Abundance principles since the early beginning. Abundance is 'Furthering People for Better Performance' and our environment for a new and better work place and a greater society as a whole. Reinventing the workplace where we give people room for growth and fostering entrepreneurship is our mission at TriFinance. This is a shared responsability of our Project Consultants, our BaseCamp team together with our clients.

SVA Fundamentals of Design for Social Innovation book 2013Marc Rettig
Designed to be viewed as two-page spreads. View as an ebook or download here: http://www.fitassociates.com/fundamentals-book
Created by the Fall 2013 cohort of the Fundamentals class in the MFA in Design for Social Innovation program at School of Visual Arts in New York. Produced under the mentorship of professors Marc Rettig and Hannah du Plessis, this book surveys frameworks, approaches, methods and skills for organizations, teams, and individual practitioners.
Presented at the Idean UX Summit Austin, May 2014. My colleagues and I are integrating approaches for creating with social complexity, and this talk provides an overview of our work in progress.
It outlines the nature of social complexity, and surveys three approaches appropriate for the challenge: Positive Deviance, Theory U & Social Labs, and the work of Dave Snowden and Cognitive Edge.
Consider this a case of "showing my mess." Future installments will reflect more synthesis, tell more stories, and better describe the emerging practice of managing emergence.
A few slides from a class session in the Carnegie Mellon School of Design, "Foundations of Practice for Social Design." I'm putting them up for folks who arrived here from my "notes on participatory design' on medium.com.
Slides from a keynote talk at UX India 2014.
People have been creating together for thousands of years. Some of those people have written about their experience, and so we have the possibility of building on their wisdom. In this talk, Marc Rettig describes the age-old story of people who seek to have a creative voice through their work, and to connect their personal excitement and possibilities to the needs of the world. As this story repeats itself for many in the world of “user experience,” another familiar dynamic comes to light: the challenge of working in settings that express desire for creativity, but reward compliance. And therein lies a defining question of our time and our careers: where does profound creativity come from?

My Blue Community is a national health and wellness community for Blue Cross Blue Shield members - healthcare meets Facebook type social networking site.
This presentation was for the 9th World Health Care Congress in Washington DC, April 16 -18, 2012.
The promise of social media has not been realized. Social media is no longer a place of deep engagement, it's optimized to share content – increasingly paid content. No longer can brands – big & small, use their social efforts to meaningfully connect & converse with their audience. Social media is increasingly social advertising – and risks chasing away the very audience with whom you hope to connect. What’s the alternative? Creating communities where your audience can easily interact & you determine the rules of engagement. Communities are the all mighty duct tape – connecting individuals, building new relationships & strengthening existing ones.
In this session Rachel shared:
- The difference in engagement & results between social media & community approaches
- Ways to shift your engagement from light exchanges around content to deep exchanges reflecting your brand promise
-Frameworks & strategies to engage your customers & prospects to increase your brand presence & sentiment
Communities can be powerful tools for product teams in driving innovation. This presentation covered the drivers of community approaches as well as specific examples of how communities worked in product development. Presented to the BPMA
On 17 February 2015, Doing Something Good facilitated a half day Insights and Innovation Lab in partnership with Vicsport and VicHealth to explore the changing business of community sport, and how clubs, associations and other service providers might respond effectively to emerging trends and the needs of Victorians to engage them in sport.

Brochure The Taste of Innovation | Beyond Performance Experience
How to build your 10x-ValueFactory in 90 days (introduction)
We leven in opwindende tijden - waarin de manier waarop we met elkaar werken sterk aan het veranderen is, waarin de focus naast presteren, veel meer is gaan liggen op de mens. Leiders zijn zich meer en meer bewust dat als het hun mensen goed gaat, het ook goed gaat met de organisatie.
Uitspraken binnen deze context zijn gedaan door:
Wendy Woods - Sr. Partner Boston Consulting Group: “Smart, committed people. They are our most precious and powerful resource. And many of the innovations that people have created recently enable even more people to contribute in even more substantial ways. That’s a significant part of why I’m so optimistic about our future.”
Ed Catmull - Co-founder Pixar: “Talent is rare. Management’s job is not to prevent risk but to build the capability to recover when failures occur.”
Of denk aan het “Growth Manifesto” initiatief van Neville Isdel (Coca-Cola) hoe terug te gaan naar “living our values”, hoe beter samen te werken en mensen te ontwikkelen om ultieme prestatie mogelijk te maken.
Bovenstaande voorbeelden schijnen hun licht over desastreuze focus op alleen presteren bij bedrijven zoals Enron, Lehman Brothers, Atari, Kodak …
Het feit dat klanten producten en/of diensten afnemen geeft aan dat er waarde wordt toegevoegd. De vraag is:
Welke waarde gaat morgen - onbewust ? - gewenst worden?
Wanneer is morgen?
Hoe maken wij contact met morgen?
Hoe creëert u uw eigen WaardeFabriek die antwoorden geeft op deze vragen?
Uw eigen WaardeFabriek?
DeWaardeFabriek gunt iedere organisatie haar eigen WaardeFabriek, waarin het gezamenlijk op zoek gaan naar EN het realiseren van de waarde voor morgen centraal staat.
Samen met DeWaardeFabriek laten wij u tijdens deze bijeenkomst proeven van de elementen die uw eigen WaardeFabriek succesvol maken. Deze elementen in deze bijeenkomst vormen onderdeel van een master-programma “How to build your 10x-ValueFactory in 90 days” dat speciaal voor Flevum-leden in januari 2016 van start gaat.
Na afloop van deze bijeenkomst gaat u naar huis met praktische inzichten die u direct in de praktijk kunt brengen.
Dit programma wordt inmiddels met succes toegepast bij o.a.:
TATA Steel

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.

about.me/joachim
Joachim Stroh has been on
the traditional information and
knowledge management track
for more than 15 years before
shifting gears and moving on
to the people side of things,
always bridging the gap
between business and
technology (he is an architect
at heart). A master with
visualizations, he finds the
best metaphors to seek a
better understanding and to
get more people involved.
In our networked world we’re
more connected to our
organizations, society,
environment - and each other.
Catherine brings her
background as a management
consultant marketer and
technologist, to help
organizations and people
build new agilities and
adaptations to the way they
network, learn, lead and
create value.

5. What Work Is Like Today
The world of work has
become monotonous,
joyless, and sanitized.
Workers are assigned
soulless tasks that are to
be executed with drone-like
efficiencies. Jobs are
molded into obstinate
competencies that are
surrounded by political turf
wars. Organizations are
stuck in the industrial age
unable to take advantage of
the new networked era.
Terry Gilliam/Brazil
6. The Challenge for the Organization
Organizations are facing
discontinuous and
disruptive change, but
organizational inertia blocks
any attempt to formulate a
response. This inertia must
be overcome if a firm is to
survive. Our mission is to
fight this inertia and make
the organization more
responsive, more resilient,
and open to change.
7. The Challenge for the Individual
Our change agents bring
fun, creativity, and passion
back to the workplace by
empowering individuals and
teams to innovate in new
and unusual ways and by
evolving towards egalitarian
networked structures that
are goal-focused and
growth-oriented. This
enterprise reboot will result
in a step change in
innovation, productivity, and
growth. Let’s get started.
8. The Challenge for Change Agents
We work socially. We hold
very few phone calls and
web-conferences, and we do
not email our members. We
communicate and share
nearly exclusively online on
our private and public
platforms. These skillsets
allow our Change Agents to
maintain a holistic view and
to keep an eye on the
dinosaurs down at the river
banks...

12. What are Stories? “Stories are
statements
regarding the facts
pertinent to a
situation in
question, they can
be anecdotes, the
intrigue or plot of a
narrative or
dramatic work.”
see also Denning
13. Why Stories
● stories have a beginning,
middle & end
● stories act as an attractor
(img)
● stories are easy to relate to
● stories often continue for
weeks or months
● everyone feels energized,
even for stories with a bad
ending
14. Here’s a Story

17. Welcome to Biology Class.
People are social animals.
We apply lessons from nature to the
complex work problems seen inside
companies today.
Cooperation and sharing openly, within
a set of trusted relationships, creates
value for the entire community.
18. What are Swarms?
Swarm behaviour, or
swarming, is a collective
behaviour exhibited by
animals of similar size
which aggregate together,
perhaps milling about the
same spot or perhaps
moving en masse or
migrating in some
direction.
(Wikipedia)
“From a more
abstract point
of view, swarm
behaviour is the
collective
motion of a
large number of
self-propelled
entities.”
O'Loan; Evans (1998). "Alternating steady state in one-dimensional flocking". Journal of
Physics A: Mathematical and General 32 (8): L99–L105
19. Swarms at CAWW
Swarms are network-wide calls-to-action through an
ad-hoc, unscheduled announcement.
Anyone can participate; further interactions move
into separate spaces.
20. Why Swarms
● Swarms provide important, urgent information in a central location
● Collaborative technology provides mechanisms for the alert (email,
mobile and in-app visuals) as well as abilities for transparent
communication (commenting and alerts)
● Used for information gathering and observation, sense of urgency and
alignment, very little contribution required to arrive at large outcome
22. Here’s Swarm a Tactics
Swarm
Using swarm tactics to
engage a community in

23. Diving Into Pods
“In the ocean, a dolphin pod is the basic social unit. It provides for a
cooperative, social way of life and increases the chances for individual
survival. Cooperation and forming alliances are ways in which the more
complex mammals attempt to manipulate their social environment. Such
alliances require sophisticated means of communication in order to manage
relationships. Dolphins do this by forming fluid, temporary groups called
"pods", typically consisting of 2-15 animals. Dolphins are very social
creatures and appear to need each other while hunting, defending
themselves and their pods, and (obviously) mating.”
24. What are Pods
Pods are secure, online, collaborative
instantiated workspaces; they are based on
a given template and process and require
little or no onboarding for clients.
25. Why Pods
Pods are pressure cookers that need
to reach a certain “core temperature”
when everything is on the line
Everything is highly visible and
accountable to raise the level of trust,
surface organizational issues quickly
Initially overload the pod with more-than-
needed experts, both ECAs and
SCAs
Asynchronous experience for clients
and Change Agents; add and
consume as you can
26. Thought Leadership Pod
Direct client collaboration in a Pod lead to a series of successful
webinars and whitepapers presented to thousands of customers.
27. What are Job Jars
Job jars contain important tasks
that an organization grapples with,
free for anyone in the organization to
take on. Like a cookie jar, this
concept requires an open and
transparent process to work (you
can see all cookies in the jar, it’s
easy to open the jar, etc). Some
employees will prefer chocolate
cookies with a rich texture over plain
vanilla ones.
28. What are Job Jars
This kind of openness and transparent process will help
alleviate fear and mistrust. For those that feel threatened,
cookies don't have to be strategic (or oversized) - start
with small cookies, get the recognition and rewards in
place and build from there.
29. Why Job Jars
Job jars allow you to connect with your co-workers
and choose with whom you like to
work.

31. What is a Green Room
What/Green Rooms
The best way to understand the value of the expertise and
strength of a network, is to have a conversation. On
occasion, we will invite a company into our virtual office
for the unique opportunity to discuss one particular issue
from your organization in private and for free. You will
experience firsthand the accumulated knowledge and
wisdom of our members. The format is an open
conversation - the more you can share, the more help and
insights we can provide. Everything that is shared will stay
inside the room. Come sit down with our world class team.
We'd love to talk to you about your greatest change
challenges. Catherine
32. Why a Green Room
A unique opportunity to get to know the
client, the issues etc. without the
performance pressure; a pull, not a push
mechanism to draw in select people
without the competence pressure; a way
to sort through things before an actual
project is started and resources are
assigned

39. Introducing the
Organizational Transformation Matrix
A better way to approach organizational change through a
transparent & open process that unlocks human potential.
“We are the sum of our
parts. We are a stained glass
window of different colors
that combine to become an
image of the future.” - Susan
Scrupski
40. Why do you need a matrix like this?
● To provide a shared framework for
organizational transformation, impact
and change (you speak the same
language across departments)
● To uncouple the framework from
technology and make it vendor-agnostic
(you want technology to
follow function, not vv.)
● To preserve the diversity of work
delivered by your change agents (they
don’t take the normal path)
● To create a matrix that continuously
updates your services portfolio (you
continuously re-invent yourself)
MOBILIZE
ORG
POTENTIA
L
UNLOCK
HUMAN
POTENTIA
L
This is the critical center
piece that determines
everything else.
41. How to best use the matrix
● as a pathway/roadmap for an org transformation
● as a constantly evolving portfolio/architecture
● as a strange loop* to see what we are actually doing
*http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strange_loop
42. How to best use the matrix
● begin with the end in mind
and gain momentum
throughout the organization
● begin at the heart of the
matter (executive level), from
there transform the
organization
● select a few areas/patterns
for improvement and see how
the patient does (pain points)
● select all areas/patterns and
iterate (slow fractal pattern)
43. Five kinds of change
● Individual change is change that we can enable on a
personal level through simple introductions, guidelines, or
initiatives.
● Systemic change is change that deeply pervades all parts
of a system, taking into account the interrelationships and
interdependencies among those parts.
● Structural change is change that alters the way authority,
capital, information, and responsibility flows in an
organization.
● Culture change is change that alters group norms of
behavior, practices, attitudes and assumptions and the
underlying shared values that help keep those norms in
place. Denning Kotter
● Behavior Change applies a method or technique for
changing one or several psychological determinants of
behavior such as a person's attitude or self-efficacy.
44. Five drivers of change
It is important to note that you are using existing language and refrain from
using new terminology (i.e. the complex side effects that emerge)
● Organizational Communications & Collaboration - Communicating & collaborating
around a common objective
● Organizational Alignment & Capacity - Consistently clear understanding of the
organization’s purpose throughout the business organization’s entire value chain.
● Organizational Capability & Intelligence - Capability of an organization to
comprehend and conclude knowledge relevant to its business purpose and to drive
meaningful business results.
● Organizational Design & Governance - Process of reshaping and realigning
organization structure, process, rewards, metrics and talent in order to achieve the
outcomes the organization intends to produce.
● Organizational Performance & Effectiveness - Carrying out or accomplishing an
action, task, or function.

● This is the initial state, begin to
uncover key drivers for change
● Select a few rows that drive
change throughout the
organization
● Run down a few columns that
correspond to the selected rows
● Look for experts in change for
selected squares
● Realize that some squares are
easy to transform, others require
significant effort

“A creature with a body plan designed
for crawling on land and in trees
becomes a creature with a body plan
that is designed for flight. Other than
life itself, they share nothing. The
caterpillar cannot start to thin out, grow
small wings, grow small legs etc all
incrementally as a mechanical process.
Instead it enters a kind of death,
pupation, and emerges as an entirely
new creature. It is either a caterpillar, a
pupa, or a butterfly.” - Robert Paterson

A critical business need is to enable
employees need to deepen their
understanding, commitment and engagement
around good practice with security and have it
be more than a compliance check mark. The
focus of this engagement is on the internal
workforce. They are seeking assistance from
members of Change Agents Worldwide to
implement two project areas:
● Develop a program for the [client]
global network of employees and
researchers to increase their
awareness and engagement in IT
Security and related compliance
training and activities
● Launch of an organization-wide
Enterprise Social Network that will
engage key stakeholder units and
become an essential fabric to all
employees to stay informed, and
connected to one another and the
company culture.

● Accelerating innovation - we have to
recognize that we don't necessarily
know the best way to work, but we
must trust that we have the right people
around to get us there. Increasing our
connectivity and collaboration opens
new possibilities. How does the "new"
spur innovation and take it to market?
● Accelerating leadership - leaders
matter a lot, in every setting, org, and
corp. Leaders are at their best when
they're surrounded by others who
amplify their strengths and support their
areas of growth. How does the "new"
increase the rise of leaders and
retention of talent?
● Accelerating learning - information
and knowledge work has changed the
predictability of jobs, especially for
specialists. How does the "new"
empower people to learn faster and
take on more problem-solver roles?
