This document provides an overview of an organizational transformation approach called "Taking Flight". It begins by establishing an aspirational vision for the organization's future culture using a participatory exercise. The current state of the organization is then understood using tools like a SWOT analysis. Operational actions are prioritized to achieve the next incremental state aligned with the vision. Habits that need changing are identified, such as moving from formal training to self-study. A transformation kanban is used to manage the changes based on the organization's change capacity. Experiments are conducted and validated using a validation board. Cross-cutting teams, failure tolerance, and diversity are promoted to enable sustainable change while specialized silos and risk avoidance are restricted. Ongoing inspection
Taking Flight: an abbreviated version of my Agile DC talkPaul Boos
This gives you a hint at what my talk will be about and the Agile Transformation approach that I use. There is a a lot missing, but feel free to download and get a feel for it as well.
This was the updated presentation that was intended for AgileDC 2014; there will be some aspects here that I will pull for my proposed session for Agile2015.
Slides of the 'deep' talk presented @ Agile O'Day 2017 #agileoday on the topic of "Business Agility" - Business agility is the "ability of a business system to rapidly respond to change by adapting its initial stable configuration”
This is the outline of my 10-day business agility course for board members, executives, managers, and students. I would call it "core" material for the MBA of the 21st century. It can be done in various formats, one or two days at a time. I'll be giving pieces of it to audiences around the world all year. Learn more at businessagilityworkshop.com

A presentation I gave walking through the basics of Agile Lean and Scrum to an organization that was looking to deploy the use of Scrum and the Agile philosophy for business management. Scrum is a powerful framework that can be applied outside of a software development context to bring Agility to any organization.
Having reviewed a number of Agile adoption approaches by big consulting companies given to organizations within the Kingdom, it's clear that many of them don't have the appropriate backgrounds to perform Agile transformations.
This session will discuss the Agile transformation adoption roadmap from real practitioners with numerous Agile adoptions in Saudi Arabia.
We will discuss what to try, what not to avoid, and some general things to consider.
The Secret, Yet Obvious, Ingredient to Sustainable AgilityAhmed Sidky
This was a presentation I gave at Ciklum in Kiev, Ukraine and at ScrumTrek in Moscow, Russia. The presentation discuss the notion of Agile and agility and then talks about what people should do to have sustainable agile. They key to sustainable agile is education. By educated, and changing the mindset of everyone in the company, then you will have sustainable agility. However, if you just focus on strategy, structure, and processes, but don't change the mindset and culture and habits of people it will not be sustainable. The presentation introduces the learning roadmap developed by the International Consortium for Agile (ICAgile) as a path organizations should pursue to engage their people in a common educational journey about agile and agility not Scrum or any particular process.
The International Consortium for Agile (ICAgile) accredits training organizations, corporations, academic institutes and government entities, thereby providing their members with over 20 knowledge-based and competency-based certifications to pursue, based on the ICAgile Learning Roadmap created by experts from around the world.
ICAgile is the only certification and accreditation body to offer knowledge-based and competency-based certifications in every discipline needed to sustain agility in an organization. ICAgile has engaged over 40 International Agile gurus and experts to create the most comprehensive agile learning roadmap.

Session Title: Enabling Business Agility through a simpler alternative
Session Detail: In these times of rapid change, Business agility has become a buzzword for organizations to not only survive but also grow and thrive. Though often used, Business Agility has varied shades, and means different things for organizations. The approach for transformation towards business agility can also be unique to organizations and the context in which they operate. In this talk we present our experiences coaching and consulting organizations in their transformation journey. We share a model for percolating change towards business agility, progressively from individual teams to the organization as a whole. Techniques (including Lean) used in our approach will be highlighted as we go through our story.

In today's digital age, organisations are constantly seeking to innovate and remain relevant. Join Enterprise Agile Coach, Sylvain, as he shares the attributes of innovative leaders and how to unleash the potential of creative workers from his years of experience working with large multinational firms that have sought to disrupt before being disrupted. Attendees can expect to walk away with models and practical techniques that will help them decipher the various corporate cultures and how to shape it to become a high-performance organization.
In a turbulent environment, managers and leaders need to constantly adjust, cooperate and anticipate future changes. This presentation, given as part of PÖL Digital free meetup sessions, is an introduction to leadership agility as well as the Agile Profile®. Agile Profile is a management tool and a methodology to measure the level of agility of an organization, and identify how management behaviors and culture can be changed to better meet the demande of the environment.
Perché parliamo di Scaling Lean Agile?
Ci sono due aspetti primari inerenti lo scalare delle tecniche agili a livello di Enterprise che è necessario considerare. In primo luogo lo scalare delle tecniche agili a livello di progetto per affrontare le sfide peculiari che i team di progetto devono affrontare. In secondo luogo è lo scalare la vostra strategia agile attraverso l'intero reparto IT, in modo appropriato. E' abbastanza semplice applicare Lean Agile su una manciata di progetti, ma può essere molto difficile far evolvere la cultura e l’intera struttura organizzativa per adottare appieno il modo agile di lavorare.
Lean e Agile (in particolar modo metodologie come Scrum e XP) hanno pienamente dimostrato il loro valore a livello di team. Cosa succede però nel momento in cui tentiamo di utilizzarle in contesti reali più complessi? Nelle reali organizzazioni che caratterizzano un’importante parte del panorama dell'IT in Italia? Muovendosi dal livello dei team verso il livello dell'organizzazione si incontrano una serie di problematiche più complesse e per un certo verso nuove. Ecco quindi l'importanza di conoscere valori e principi che sono alla base del tema del Lean Agile Scaling. Esistono parecchi modelli che negli ultimi anni si confrontano con le realtà delle organizzazioni.
In questo talk tratteremo a livello olistico questo tema e confronteremo alcuni di tali modelli di Scaling Lean Agile, quali: Scrum standard (Ken Schwaber, Mike Cohn, ...) – il modello di Larmann & Vodde - SAFe – Disciplined Agile Delivery di Scott Ambler – Path to Agility (Ken Schwaber). Inoltre verranno affrontate e discusse le esperienze personali effettuate in diverse società in fase di adozione o utilizzo su larga scala di Lean Agile.
Leadership Agility is the ability to rage effective action in complex rapid changing conditions. Team and organizational agility refer to the same set of capacities. Organizational agility is an ability for an organization to renew itself, adapt, change quickly, and succeed in a rapidly changing, ambiguous, turbulent environment. Agility is not incompatible with stability – agility requires stability.
Organizations striving to grow and sustain their success in these dynamic times often try to identify the characteristics in their executives that will propel the enterprise toward its potential. The prevailing thought goes something like this: we want greater organizational agility so what does that look like in our key people? Fair question, but not likely to lead them where they want to go.
The challenge is Organizational Agility is an outcome we can measure organizationally not a personal characteristic. The executives can do a number of things to increase the organization’s agility but they themselves don’t exhibit it.
Let's discuss all of these with Abiodun Osoba (International Lean/Agile Coach & Trainer for Enterprise Transformations)

IN THIS SUMMARY
People who are introverts often hate to network. While extroverts, socially-oriented people who excel in group situations, are typically right at home at networking events, introverts, reflective and reclusive people, dread group interactions. However, in Networking for People Who Hate Networking, Devora Zack sets out to demonstrate that, by virtue of their innate strengths, introverts can become masterful networkers. Introverts’ talent for focusing and asking thoughtful questions heightens their ability to make meaningful connections with others. By developing a strong, enduring, yet small group of professional ties, introverts can network effectively; and by remaining true to self, the introvert can master networking for lasting, beneficial connections.

Creating a Culture of Government Innovation using Feng ShuiPaul Boos
In this presentation, I discuss the aspects you need to develop in your people, your teams, and your organization to become innovative. I also discuss the two types of innovation your organization should be open to taking on and lastly how you make innovations support your organization. This has a slight Government slant, but should be useful for most any organization.
I'll be posting replies to comments received at the AgileDC conference; most likely on my blog: boosianspace.posterous.com.

Taking Flight: from Aspiration to Transformational ActionPaul Boos
This is a revised deck for my Path to Agility Presentation.
Please see this web page to understand how you may use this material: http://paulmboos.com/about/creative-commons-license/
'Don't Assume! Measure!' Before any transformation or change program is started The organisation and its leadership must be able to answer two questions 1. How Ready are we for this Change? and 2. What is our Change Capability (Agility) as an organisation? This paer look at leveraging management science to measure maturity levels that relate to both questions based on Dynamic Systems Maturity Theory.
Identifying and Overcoming Roadblocks to Changerhefner
How many dedicated improvement program leaders have pushed the proverbial boulder up the hill only to watch it roll back down, sometimes flattening the change agents and even the executive sponsor in the process? Why do we focus on the management of change (e.g., the models, processes, methods, plans and tactics) and fail to acknowledge and address the importance of cultural barriers and change leadership? This presentation will explain how to identify and overcome common roadblocks to successful change, including lack of alignment, siloed thinking, decision dysfunction, execution and endurance problems, and missing measurements.
Learning Objectives:
Understand the difference between managing and leading change efforts
Discuss the symptoms of barriers to change, the root causes, and how to address them
Learn how to perform a critical assessment of "change readiness" and use the findings to plan for the change
Learn how to tailor your improvement plans based on organizational readiness and maturity

This deck explains how the Pass on Perfection game created by April Jefferson and myself at the 2016 US Agile Coach Camp in Saint Louis. This game combines improv "Yes and..." thinking, the perfection game from the Core Protocols, and a round robin play or pass game mechanic. It is useful for creating ideas and then deciding what should be a part of any minimally viable X (product for example). This particular presentation is the same one given at Agile2019.
Your Agile Leadership Journey: Leading People, Managing ParadoxesPaul Boos
This is the session given at March's AgileNoVA meet-up and is intended for Agile & Beyond 2019. It was also submitted for Agile2019 in the Leadership track.
Business Models in the Non-Profit and Public SectorsPaul Boos
This presentation/practice was given at the Gatineau-Ottawa Agile Tour conference and helps people that work in the non-profit and public sectors understand how they can use a Business Canvas to better understand the value proposition of their organization to its constituents, cost structures and how appropriations/dues/payments can be applied, and to analyze the environment in which their organization lives for possible impacts. This was a talk followed up with some time for people to practice trying to build their own business model.
This is a 90 min talk with some exercises and discussion that I gave at the DHS Agile Expo. It places DevOps as a series of feedback loops and emphasizes agile engineering practices being at the core.
Understanding Lean & Agile Coaching Agile and Beyond 2018Paul Boos
This was my presentation for Agile & Beyond 2018 about Agile Coaching. This covers some basics of Agile Coaching in terms of the many dimensions to consider and how skills play out. It does not go into any of these skills deeply.
This is the presentation used for my workshop on Catalytic Leadership - helping people understand how they can unleash Fearless Change patterns and Liberating Structures so that anyone can become a leader of change.
This is the final presentation for the Catalytic Leadership workshop given at Agile2017. In this one will learn about about how to lead change through small influences no matter where you are in the organization. It also helps you understand that change needs to be focused on Environment, Support, and Trust and provides a trust model that can be used for this.
Understanding coaching presentation agile dc2017 - for publishingPaul Boos
This presentation covers ways to think about what an Agile coach does. It provides some useful models to help you do this. It's intended to be given as an interactive session with an upfront workshop activity.
Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

14. Most organizations don’t make fully rationale decisions
those decisions are unknowingly steeped in their habits.
Evil is committed
by
the well-meaning
The Power of Habit, Charles Duhigg
15. What is Said
^
What is Done
^
Will = Intentions + Actions
Σ f(Keptagreements ) = Performance
17. Taking Flight Approach
• Set an aspirational target
• Examine possible routes
• Select the best route and the first waypoint(s)
– Consider each leg an experiment
– Work details/make decisions operationally
– Inspect & Adapt at each waypoint
– Make course corrections
– Squadron mates
20. End State ::
(noun)
1. The set of required conditions that defines
achievement of the commander's objectives.
21. Aspirational vs End State
• Any end state you choose may be wrong (don’t use
BUFD for your Org Change)
• Not having a defined end state means you are never
done assists mindset change
– Revisit aspiration and progress towards it regularly
– Use interim states that move towards the aspiration and
are more concrete
– Continual experiments/Contained failures
– It’s how you apply Product Thinking to your organization
• Aspirations can more easily balance between soft and
hard skills needed
22. In terms of
Organizational Transformation,
Aspirations
are…
A not too complex vision
The set of characteristics based on this vision
23. Why is Setting an Aspiration Important?
• Cast what the transformation means to the
organization; personalize it
• Determine what the most relevant principles
from Agile (or Lean, or Craftsmanship) mean to
the organization
• Guides decisions within the organizations;
achieves alignment
• Provides guidance for course corrections once we
go in-flight
• Avoids top-down directives and moves it to a
creative stimulation
Avoids Imposed Agile…

we have a
Target Aspiration,
how do we
determine
the next
incremental step?

New Habits The Hardest to Do
& the most crucial
Some of
these will be
Experiments
41. What Might Be Some of the Habits We
Want to Change?
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Ways meetings are conducted
Ways meetings are scheduled
How managers give feedback
Whether agreements are explicit or implicit
How decisions are made and owned
Whether people show vulnerability
How people learn new skills Use as an example
Note: want org habits reinforcing an Agile mindset
46. Finding Leverage Points
• The habit to change is formal training to
learning = self-study/experimentation
• Step 1: Habit Loop Causality Diagram
• The Habit Loop becomes a bit more complex
– More Steps
– Reinforcing Loop
• Step 2: Look for Limiting Conditions & Side
Effect Loops

64. How do we figure out how much change to pull?
1. Hypothesis use communications paths as a starting
point;
• capacity = comm paths
N ppl involved
• hierarchy comm paths = direct report lines
• team comm paths = ∑(1+…+N-1)
• can have hybrids
2. Modified by Team Size
3. Multiplied by reinforcing loops
4. Consider like mid-size “story” (in terms of points);
every org will be different & large single changes
can out-strip capacity and need to be broken down
65. Team Size

9 15
Scrum teams 7 +/-2
5 Best for deep comm, 15 most for deep trust, 150 most for comm

69. Squadron Mates
• Create a support network
• Find like minds and pair
– Sounding board for pragmatic decisions
• Better yet, form a triad
– Third person holds the commitments of the other
two to each other accountable
• Grow network as pairs/triads
– Net-Map Technique is a great tool here
Triads come from The Culture Game by Daniel Mezick

71. A Couple of Typical
Biases or Assumptions
• People just don’t want to change
– So explain to me why people will take up a new hobby
later in life or move across country?
(Hint: it is in their interest – find mutual desire)
• Agile has issues scaling to large programs
– Why do you have a program? Could this be solved in a
different manner with sets of smaller applications?
(Hint: most “programs” are put together for reasons other than
actual size & complexity, such as ability to get budget, the
size/complexity is an outcome from these reasons/decisions)
