Editor's Notes
- #3 Society is in transformation. Technology has allowed for the destruction of entire industries, consolidation of large organizations and the shift for some organizations to attack other markets.
- #4 we’ve all seen this…it’s sorta like the boogyman for consultants. Some estimate 75% of the S&P will disappear by 2027
- #5 The creation of multiple digital camera companies was better for the economy than the impact the destruction of Kodak had. Joseph Schumpeter coined the term
- #6 Richard Foster, Creative Destruction 2001
- #7 Agile focuses on faster, better, cheaper
- #8 whoops, forgot about those…but consider your industry, how susceptible it is to disruption, what the pace of change is etc.
- #9 A typical pattern for moving towards agile
- #10 you can’t know what havoc Agile will reek on your organization until you’ve lived with it for a year…
- #11 Agile coaches argue about nonsense…
- #12 There are 40+ change methods and countless re-inventions of PDCA…there are no new ideas, only rehashed ideas that might make more sense for some people at a particular point in time.
- #13 Except for mine…it’s CLEARLY the best!!!
- #15 We usually focus on hierarchy…which title or department is responsible? But some leaders suck at inspiring people. Some team level people are great at it.
