Management 3.0 for Creative Knowledge Workers

The goal of Management 3.0 is to help you grow and transform organizations
into becoming great places to work. ”But, I’m not a manager”, you say? So
what? We believe that management is not only the managers’ responsibility.
It is everyone’s job! Therefore, Management 3.0 is not only about what
managers can do, but also about what you can do.

at Small Footprint, Romania
Whether it’s a standard two-day course, a custom eight-hour
workshop, a four-hour tutorial, or a brief 1-hour talk, all Management
3.0 events are designed to make a lasting impression.
Management 3.0 has 8 major topics, which are
continually refined and supplemented. The most
important goal for Management 3.0 events is for
people to take action to improve their organizations.
All events adhere to the following principles: theory
and practice in small chunks; clear and effective
visuals; inspiring stories and metaphors; fun games
and exercises; focused group discussions; and
concrete practices with tangible results.

I liked the mix of play and listen. I liked that every
topic started with storytelling.
Christoph Oberle,
Management Consultant, Germany
The human brain is perfectly equipped to deal with stories and visuals. That’s why we designed the
Management 3.0 materials with visualization in mind, and it is why all Management 3.0 facilitators are fine
storytellers.
With the help of sticky notes, markers, flip charts, and whiteboards
the facilitators welcome participants to visualize their management
& leadership problems, and to share their stories and solutions with
each other in engaging ways.
Storytelling and Visualization

Very involving and with a very flexible agenda.
The result was that we did some very concrete
problem solving, including making use of the
participants’ varied experience.
Signe Bramming Andersen,
Manager at DONG Energy, Denmark
In our courses and workshops the facilitators invite participants to
share their biggest challenges in management & leadership. The
problems are sorted and prioritized, and they are turned into a
backlog of discussion items.
All problems are unique. And yet, similar challenges have all been
faced before in one way or another. Assisted by all participants the
facilitator attempts to find solutions, practices, suggestions, and
references for all prioritized problems.
Addressing Problems,
Discussing Solutions

I especially liked the delegation cards and the
motivation exercise, plus some of the stories.
Pia Andersson, Manager Strategy
and Projects at Hi3G, Sweden
Each of the Management 3.0 topics includes at least one game
or exercise. In groups of three to seven people the attendees run
simulations of real-world management issues. Sometimes the
participants play as different line managers against each other.
Sometimes they act together as one team leader, sharing their ideas
while working on a problem.
Every exercise is debriefed afterward, so that people can discuss
their findings, internalize what they learned, and bring up questions
and insights to be addressed by the whole group.

The best feature, one
that I have never seen in
such courses, but always
wanted, is the list of
books worth reading. It
makes the course only a
starting point, for your
own exploration on each
topic.

Systems thinking and complexity science are the cornerstones of the agile mindset.
You will learn what complexity theory is, how to think in terms of systems, and how to
spot the difference between complex and complicated. The principles of complexity

I liked the happiness door, the kudo
cards, the games, and the takeaways.
It is a well-structured training.
Laure Pain,
Agile Coach at Amadeus, France
Intrinsic motivation is the reason people get out of bed
in the morning. Since people are the most important
parts of an organization, managers must do all they
can to keep people active, creative, and motivated.
You will learn about the difference between extrinsic
vs. intrinsic motivation, the ten intrinsic desires,
and common techniques for understanding what is
important to the people in your teams, such as one-
on-one meetings, personal assessments, the 12 most
important questions, and 360 degree evaluations.

How can we empower a self-organizing team
?How can we get teams to take ownership and
responsibility
Self-organization can offer many answers when it comes to good
management. Teams are able to self-organize, but this requires
empowerment, authorization, and trust from management. You
will learn how to make self-organization work, how to distribute
authorizationinanorganization,thechallengesofempowerment,how
to grow relationships of trust, and several techniques for distributed
control, such as the 7 levels of delegation, and delegation boards.

Do you need to make a decision but are you unsure about the effects
on people’s motivation? Do you want to know what motivates your
colleagues? Are you hiring a new team member and do you want to
know what makes her tick? Play Moving Motivators!

biggest takeaway was to
try many different things,
tweak, and try more.

The exercises were very
enlightening, whether in

or listening to others - it
certainly caused me to
pause and reflect upon my
own “style” and recognize
opportunities for growth.

Delegation often comes down to “Either I do it, or you do it”. But in
truth there are 7 levels of delegation. Use Delegation Poker to make
clear who’s responsible for what and on what level.

What I appreciate the most
about the facilitator is that
he does not offer simple trite
answers that might work in
very specific organizations.
Rather, he gives his students
the tools or frameworks to
help them arrive at their
own solutions.
Mike Evans,
Iteration Manager
at Nationwide, USA
A very popular exercise is the
Meddlers game (named after a
well-known German board game).
The exercise allows players to
visualize and discuss organizational
structures, in a way that matches the
concept of value networks.

There are many wrong ways to reward employees. A simple but
effective approach is the use of kudo cards, which enables people to
give each other small tokens of appreciation.
Kudo Cards
It is very refreshing to see that Management 3.0 is considerably more oriented toward
empowering the team and making it happy, as opposed to traditional management that
was focusing on performance.
Luc Duplessis, Agile Product Owner at Accedian Networks, Montréal, Canada

This demands a new way of thinking for leaders. Whilst many
have developed a new mindset and practice it, Management
3.0 gives concrete tools, names, metaphors, and much much
more that add to a leader’s tool belt. I highly recommend the
workshops to experience it live!
