Being Agile vs Doing Agile

Coworkation In Italysoftskills

True Agile implementation offers ‘paradigm shifts’ in organisations, teams and individuals. Most are unable to get past what Arie calls ‘Mechanical Agile’ ( in his view i.e. doing just some rituals, but not shifting paradigms on for example documentation, leadership, reporting, multi disciplined teams and removing silos).

Moving Beyond with Next Level Agile

Coworkation In Italysoftskills

Today, most Agile teams are trying to achieve predictable, fast delivery. While that’s good, it’s no longer good enough—not if we want to keep up in this highly competitive, rapidly changing world. It’s not just about teams anymore. Next Level Agility is about the ability of entire organizations to quickly adapt to market changes. Together, we reset the bar on how great Agile organizations operate by moving beyond practices like user stories, project plans, stakeholder feedback, continuous integration, and velocity, and towards a new Next Level Agile Manifesto with an emphasis on Discovery over Execution. Learn to identify organizational impediments […]

Minimum Viable Organisation

Coworkation In Italyorganizationalmodel

How much structure is enough in the quest for a healthy organisation? Some say all management is waste, is that true? Agile equals flat structures but how flat? Agile methods and teaching promote much flatter organisations, much more focus on the team and less management control or interference. Taking some methods and writing literally we might believe that there is no need for management in agile organisations. Is that true, can it be achieved, should it?

Stop scaling, start growing an Agile organization

Coworkation In Italysoftskills

Strategic advantage lies in being yourself and doing the right things the right way. Those who copy what their competitors are doing, place themselves behind the pack — a sure way of losing.

When you take an existing model and fit your organization to that, you lose much of what makes you unique and different.Companies small and large must instead learn to grow their own agility for their own advantage. This sounds simple — and it is, when you know what to look for.In this keynote, Andrea […]

Teal shade of Agile by Tobias Mayer

Coworkation In Italyorganizationalmodel

The term “Teal” to describe the next stage of corporate evolution was proposed by Frederic Laloux in his book, Reinventing Organizations. A Teal organisation is considered an organic, living entity, unlike most corporations today which can best be described as mechanical in both intent and execution. But those of us embedded in the Agile community know that this concept is not new, indeed we have been striving for the release of control and the promotion of nurture for many years now. Is Teal then just a reinvention of the Agile wheel? Yes and No. Laloux offers three simple, yet powerful […]
