The document describes the tactics of white and black ninjas for positively disrupting organizations. White ninjas disrupt openly through visible tools like value stream maps, feedback comments, and organizing visits to other companies. Black ninjas disrupt stealthily through tactics like eliminating unnecessary meetings, automating testing without others' knowledge, focusing on minimal viable products, and using "planning days" for innovation rather than planning. Both aim to improve collaboration, communication, and innovation.

Ninja
Posi7vely
disrup7ng
in
full
view:
-­‐
visible
clues
around
the
office
like
value
stream
maps,
cake
indices,
team
happiness
ra7ngs,
story
grave
yards,
customer
feedback
comments,
sneaky
memes
&
oFen
very
visual
value
tracking
on
a
wall
-­‐
White
ninjas
will
take
a
stance.
They
will
push
back
when
value
can't
be
ar7culated,
a
hypothesis
agreed
or
an
owner
can't
be
found
for
a
piece
of
work.
-­‐
White
ninjas
are
more
than
happy
to
help
people
moves
desks
if
it
makes
for
beIer
collabora7on
and
communica7on
with
a
working
team.
-­‐
The
white
ninja
may
try
&
get
the
team
out
in
the
field
and
siKng
with
the
contact
centre,
the
sales
teams,
frontline
staff
and
talking
with
actual
customers.
Where
they
can
white
ninjas
will
organise
visits
to
other
companies
to
learn
more
about
other
systems
of
work.
-­‐
The
white
ninja
may
also
try
disrup7ng
the
culture
by
kicking
off
a
number
of
voluntary
events
like
hack
days,
brown
bags,
dojos,
book
clubs,
innova7on
clubs
and
lean
coffees.
They
may
also
start
hos7ng
MeetUps,
start
a
CoP.
start
a
guild,
start
a
think
tank,
start
a
do
tank
start
a
pitch-­‐in
or
event

a
start-­‐in.
They
really
put
the
'in'
in

Black
Ninja
Disrupts
by
stealth:
•
No
Mee7ng
Tuesdays
Just
block
out
7me
to
focus
on
what
people
do
best.
Do
on
Thursdays
too.
•
Automated
Tes7ng
in
produc7on
Just
do
it…
no
one
will
know…
•
Avoid
Gold
Pla7ng
Start
with
thin
slices
and
keep
asking
if
it’s
7me
to
build
something
else.
•
"Planning
Day”
On
the
last
day
of
the
itera7on,
the
team
is
officially
“planning”
for
the
next
itera7on,
but
really
it
gives
them
7me
to
focus
on
innova7on.

6. It starts
with you!
