Modern Agile Management and Leadership
- 2. For many organizations, a common practice is that they are managed like machines. We call this Management 1.0. In this style of management, leaders assume that improvement of the whole requires monitoring, repairing, and replacing the parts.
- 5. Dividing responsibility and work
- 7. Traditional management works well with predictable, repeatable work. It does not work with creativity, innovation and problem-solving.
- 9. New companies disrupt markets http://fortune.com/2015/01/22/the-age-of-unicorns/
- 10. At the same time the nature of work, especially that of creative and knowledge work, has changed.
- 11. What you want to do as a company is maximize the number of experiments you can do per unit of time. - Jeff Bezos, Harvard Business Review Emerging: Experimentation
- 15. Command-oriented, low-freedom management is common because it’s profitable, it requires less effort, and most managers are terrified of the alternative. - Laszlo Bock, Work Rules!
- 16. Some people think of an organization as a community or a city. You can do what you want, as long as you allow the community to benefit from your work. We call that Management 3.0.
- 17. In a community or city, everyone is (partly) responsible for contributing to its success and a few are responsible for the whole.
- 18. Management is about human beings. Its task is to make people capable of joint performance […]. Management is the critical, determining factor. - Peter Drucker, Management Rev. Edition
- 19. Management is Organizing the way work works in our company/team/organization
- 20. Management of the work is a crucial activity, but this could be done with or without dedicated managers. In fact, a business can do a lot of management with almost no managers!
- 21. Most creative workers don’t realize that they are also responsible for management stuff. Management is too important to leave to the managers.
- 22. Required awareness and trust Effectiveness High High Low
- 23. We get better, happier organizations by changing ourselves instead of others. When people don’t focus on improving themselves, is it any wonder they’re always complaining about each other?
- 24. Psychological safety and mutual trust are crucial prerequisites of effective collaboration.
- 25. Me You We Trust Identity Intention Listening Recognition Authenticity Honesty Purpose Shared understanding Continuous improvement Team learning Safety
- 26. Leadership is the act of creating safe spaces where people can collaborate effectively and meaningfully. It is not a position but activity!
- 27. More freedom and responsibility to the teams!
- 28. The expectation is that the frontline teams do everything, except for the things they choose to push upward. - Frédéric Laloux, Reinventing Organizations
- 29. The answer to the question “What is our business for?” is one of the first responsibilities of management. (A lack of direction is one of the most often-heard complaints from workers.) https://hbr.org/2015/06/the-top-complaints-from-employees-about-their-leaders
- 30. Purpose lies at the intersection of four circles: what you love doing, what you are good at, what the world needs, and what you are paid for. http://www.management- issues.com/opinion/7140/whats-the-purpose-of- your-business/
- 31. What could you start experimenting with in practice today? What could be the first step?
- 32. Next Management 3.0 Coaching Curriculum starts in November! 250€ off with code “AGILEFI” Sign up here: http://www.flowa.fi/management30/hinnat/

- In the traditional business, acquiring knowledge was a matter of digesting the body of knowledge and best practices of your field and then applying them. The business environment was more stable which meant that most risks could be mitigated and opportunities could be seized by the way of careful planning. The body of knowledge of traditional software engineering and the project management institute are good examples of the culture of planning.
- In the old business, in a world of stable markets, profits were driven by economies of scale. Producing products in big batches enabled driving down the unit cost, which increased the profit margin. It was hard to enter markets if you did not have enough capital to take advantage of economies of scale early on. Tayloristic management of factories which produce consumer goods is a good example of economies of scale.
- In the old business, cost savings were driven by extreme specialization of work-force. For example, business analysts wrote requirements, programmers implemented those requirements into application code and testers tested if the application worked as planned. One extreme specialization was the coordinators, project managers and the sort, who specialized into coordinating the work as efficiently as possible. The thinking was, that people would become very efficient in their own specialized area of work.
- In traditional management, the management sees the organization as a machine. If there is a problem in the performance of the organization, management must fix that like machines are fixed. Or even re-design it in a way that would allow for better performance. Good examples of this are new process rollouts and organizational resturcturings. In this thinking, the new way of working is rolled out in the organization. However, we have found out through many studies that these kind of engineered changes rarely have the intended effect.
- Jotain uutta on nousemassa, jotain vanhaa saattaa olla kuolemassa
- On yksisarvisia (esim. Uber, Airbnb), media-alan murros (FB, Google) mutta on myös muita: FAVI – autonosia AES – öljyala Wikipedia Morning Star - tomaatintuottajia
- Uusien palveluiden lanseeraaminen asiakkaille, eism. Ylen Uutisvahti Nowadays, we have come to accept that we do not have perfect understanding of the outside world, the markets and the needs of the customers in our organization. There is much uncertainty that cannot be planned away. Instead we must learn by the culture of experimentation and accelerate our rate of learning about the markets, customers and technology to be able to seize the opportunities and mitigate the risks. Disciplines like Lean Startup and Growth Hacking are good examples of culture of experimentation.
- Matkapuhelinoperaattori, uusien palveluiden lanseeraus Spearhead product Kanban (strategic media productions) + Yle Lab to shorten the feedback loops Nowadays, with more uncertainty in the business environment and the disruptions happening in the old markets, we cannot rely on the profit margin of economies of scale. It is no use to prematurely scale some product that might not end up having enough demand. Instead, companies nowadays try to optimize their time to market to be able to satisfy demand as quickly as they can. This is done by optimizing the lead time from idea to launch. Good examples of flow efficiency are agile software development practices such as Scrum and Kanban and lean product development.
- Nykyisin tiimit haluavat UX-kehittäjien lisäksi digitaalisen markkinoinnin osaajat samaan tiimiin. Esim. Yle. Erilliset yksiköt historiaa. Nowadays, the need for flow efficiency meaning fast time to market and faster feedback and learning through experimentation mean that optimizing the whole instead of local optimizations have become more important. That is why companies have started to gather together cross-functional teams able to build products from idea to launch and who can make all the decisions all the way. These teams also work as the basic learning units for organizations.
- What companies have started doing instead is to foster a culture of continuous improvement in every team and unit of the organization. Change is not seen as a project, but instead as a continuous process that will never end. Everybody takes responsibility to increase the performance of the organization. This kind of culture requires a shared understanding of goals, transparency of information, mutual trust and mandate to make decisions all around the organization.

- Sometimes referred to as “reverse delegation”. YLE: teams responsible for their business area, developing and marketing solutions Of course they choose and develop their own ways of working, too The team of teams responsible for intra-team allocation of resources, meaning budget Communication with upper management to talk about strategic objectives Gini: academies making all business decisions
