Hypothesengetriebene agile Transitionen mit Sociocracy 3.0 (OOP-2017)Bernhard Bockelbrink
Die Transition einer kompletten Organisation wirft viele Fragen auf: Was ist agile Buchhaltung, agile HR, oder agiles Management? Gibt es eine Blaupause für agile Organisationen, oder muss man das alles irgendwie selbst heraus finden? Und wie begegnet man dem existenziellen Risiko, das jede große Veränderung birgt?
Der Vortrag zeigt, wie man diese komplexen Fragen mit hypothesengetriebenen Methoden und Ideen aus Sociocracy 3.0 agil und iterativ angehen kann, um den Weg zu einer lernenden Organisation zu finden, und was man dabei beachten sollte.
Even on the 15th anniversary of the agile manifesto, the clash of cultures between agile teams and traditional management lore remains largely unresolved. Existing approaches are either merely conceptual or rigid and monolithic (e.g. Holacracy). A new way is Sociocracy 3.0, a free and open-source framework for evolving agile organizations. It creates a pull-system for organizational change, and draws on a collection of independent, but mutually reinforcing patterns, so organizations can continuously adapt both pace and scope of a transition.
Sociocracy 3.0 a brief introduction (presentation) (v2016-01-29)Bernhard Bockelbrink
This is an outdated version, this is the latest version (March 2018): https://www.slideshare.net/BernhardBockelbrink/sociocracy-30-a-practical-guide-20180321
Sociocracy 3.0...
...is a method for growing effective, agile and resilient organizations of any size, from a tiny start-up to a large networked organization with the scope of a nation state.
...provides a collection of principles and patterns to dynamically steer and evolve organizations.
...incrementally process available information into continuous improvement of products, processes and skills.
...helps organizations making the best use of the talent already present, and to grow flexible organizational structures that support effective travel of information
...contains a painless, iterative approach to implementation that meets organizations where they are and helps them move forward in their own pace.
The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.
Comparing Stability and Sustainability in Agile SystemsRob Healy
Copy of the presentation given at XP2024 based on a research paper.
In this paper we explain wat overwork is and the physical and mental health risks associated with it.
We then explore how overwork relates to system stability and inventory.
Finally there is a call to action for Team Leads / Scrum Masters / Managers to measure and monitor excess work for individual teams.

What does S3 bring to sociocracy? (isoc 2018)
1. What does
S3 bring to
sociocracy?
Bernhard Bockelbrink
@ International Sociocracy Online Conference
2018
Bernhard Bockelbrink (v2018-05-01) - http://sociocracy30.org 1
2. What does "sociocracy"" mean?
Sociocracy: A mindset where people affected by decisions can
influence them on the basis of reasons to do so.
Sociocratic Circle Method (SCM): A method for governing an
organization developed by Gerard Endenburg and taught by the
Sociocracy Group
Agile: A mindset for solving complex problem in self-organized
teams, with a value-driven and iterative approach
Bernhard Bockelbrink (v2018-05-01) - http://sociocracy30.org 2
3. Sociocracy 3.0 in a nutshell:
Tools for effective collaboration at any scale
• A practical guide for evolving agile and resilient organizations
• A path for developing an agile and sociocratic mindset
Bernhard Bockelbrink (v2018-05-01) - http://sociocracy30.org 3
4. What's in it for me?
Sociocracy 3.0 - a.k.a. "S3" - brings you an extensive collection of guidelines and
practices (patterns) that have proven helpful for organizations for improving
performance, alignment, fulfillment and wellbeing.
S3 helps you discover how to best reach your objectives and navigate complexity, one
step at a time, without the need for radical reorganization or a big change initiative:
• Simply start with your area of greatest need, select one or more patterns to try,
move at your own pace and develop skills as you go.
• Regardless of your position in the organization, you will find patterns that are
relevant and helpful for you.
Bernhard Bockelbrink (v2018-05-01) - http://sociocracy30.org 4
5. Once upon a time...
• ...I discovered SCM
• my background: agile software development
• what I knew: How to solve complex problems in self-organized teams
• what got into my way: the rest of the organization, "management", "leadership",
"bureaucracy"
• Agile (and lean) had no real answers to that, they explicitly avoided the issue because if
you tackle that, you often challenge people's core beliefs.
• I discovered sociocracy through a friend, and was amazed: lots of great ideas, it seemed
like the missing piece, the solution to a lot of problems
Bernhard Bockelbrink (v2018-05-01) - http://sociocracy30.org 5
6. Sociocracy: It's pretty obscure method, you
probably haven't heard of it.
• I embraced sociocracy: I used it in my projects, held workshops
and gave talks at conferences
• people liked it, but asked: why has SCM not caught on in the last
40 years?
• my answer then: there's no good free materials in English. But I'll
make some...
Bernhard Bockelbrink (v2018-05-01) - http://sociocracy30.org 6
7. The Sociocracy Remix Kit
• I created a simple website with only text and some nice images
that explained Sociocracy as I saw it back then: https://
agileorganizations.io
• the core idea: break down SCM into small pieces (around 30 back
then) so people could just pick one or more and experiment with it
Bernhard Bockelbrink (v2018-05-01) - http://sociocracy30.org 7
8. Collaboration With James Priest
• I showed the Remix Kit to James Priest, and he had a lot to say about my
first version. But he liked the idea of creating free materials
• so we set out to make sociocracy accessible to as many organizations as
possible
• we got together and created a youtube video intro about SCM, and while
working on that, we discovered a lot of things we got into arguments about
• though a process of questioning everything, and through observing how
we went about this, we eventually arrived at what S3 is today
Bernhard Bockelbrink (v2018-05-01) - http://sociocracy30.org 8
9. S3 is not a method
Culture eats strategy for breakfast
• methods sound good on paper, but they usually fail in the complexity of real life
• methods create resistance: why should people change their mind on a
promise?
• revolutions break a lot of stuff that's working, and we're still stuck in the old
mindset
• we need to respect the culture of an organization and the experience of
individuals
Bernhard Bockelbrink (v2018-05-01) - http://sociocracy30.org 9
10. S3 is built from patterns
Reducing Risk and Resistance
• a pattern is a small change that brings value to an organization by solving a
specific problem
• our goal: everyone will find a pattern that can help them in their situation -
even people who need to wear a suit !
• people evolve a new mindset at their own pace by experimenting with patterns
to solve their actual problems
• to encourage experimentation, S3 patterns are simple and lightweight
Bernhard Bockelbrink (v2018-05-01) - http://sociocracy30.org 10
12. A new model of distribution
S3 is free
• all the resources we create are available under a Creative Commons
license:
• the resources themselves http://sociocracy30.org/resources
• the source files: https://github.com/S3-working-group
• the software we create to build our resources: e.g. mdtools and
ogtool
Bernhard Bockelbrink (v2018-05-01) - http://sociocracy30.org 12
13. A new model of distribution
S3 is open and decentralized
• S3 is not brought into organizations by management (or leaders), everyone can pull
in and use patterns in their area of autonomy
• we encourage adaptation and evolution
• everything is based on seven simple principles
• we provide a simple shared language (terms and concepts) to discuss
organizations and work
• we have a glossary that explains what each term means to us
Bernhard Bockelbrink (v2018-05-01) - http://sociocracy30.org 13
14. From Aim or Purpose to
Drivers
• for effective collaboration, everyone involved
needs to understand the "why"
• aims, objectives, visions, purpose often put the
cart before the horse
• S3 helps people develop shared understanding of
the organization's motive to respond to a specific
situation (what we call an organizational driver)
• four aspects of drivers: the current situation, the
effect of this situation on the organization, the
need of the organization in relation to this
situation and the impact of attending to that need
Bernhard Bockelbrink (v2018-05-01) - http://sociocracy30.org 14
15. A holistic approach
• success is 95% work and 5% governance
• life is one indivisible whole
• s3 brings a consistent mindset to all
aspects of collaboration (work AND
governance)
Bernhard Bockelbrink (v2018-05-01) - http://sociocracy30.org 15
16. Integration with Agile and
Lean Thinking
• agile and lean have many great tools and
methods
• S3 plays nice with all of them
• S3 is not empty, it's opinionated: we
embrace self-organization
Bernhard Bockelbrink (v2018-05-01) - http://sociocracy30.org 16
17. New Ways to Evolve
Organizational Structure
• SCM and Holacracy still embraces hierarchy and
leaders
• self-organization does not need leaders (but
benefits from distributed leadership)
• hierarchies fail in complex situations
• Conway's Law: Our organizational structure
determines the software architecture we can create
(and hierarchical architecture does not scale well)
• S3 brings patterns for evolving an organization's
structure into what this specific organization needs
right now
Bernhard Bockelbrink (v2018-05-01) - http://sociocracy30.org 17
20. Sociocracy 3.0 is
• free - all you need is an open mind to unlearn a few things
• open - take it and do whatever you want with it
• accessible - simple enough so everyone can play with it
• small enough so it's not perceived as a risk
• easily adaptable (we even have a pattern for adapting patterns)
• value-based (all is built on the seven principles)
• opinionated (not "empty") - built on self-organization, complexity thinking and a decentralized
mindset (not on a hierarchy)
• strong brand - simple logo, compelling visuals, and a sense of style
