About time #Employees everywhere had a good year where their happiness and wellbeing mattered and things changed for the better. I believe 2020 will be it. Here are some encouraging trends. #HR #PeopleNotTech #HumansAtWork #WaysOfWork #FutureOfWork #Leaderships #People #DevOps #Agile #Diversity

"What if we've left the idea of probing in-depth into the well-being of our people so far behind, that none of the big things work? What if we have human debt, not tech-debt? Relationships to clean and fix, not code? Team dynamics and health to test, not features?" #Agile #DevOps #Team #HR #PeopleNotTech #Scrum #Technology #softwaredevelopment
This is the only day #job any #leader should have: building and growing a #people practice in this #VUCA world of fast #technology and changing #business models. Obsessing about the #Team, building #empathy, modelling #courage and keeping intensely #human to compte with #AI is not something we can outsource to #HR while we focus on #DevOps but something we have to do ourselves every day.
Tales from the log of the #ProductOwner about being truly #agile, #design, big thinking, #servantleadership, #continouslearning and of course, #PsychologicalSafety #PeopleNotTech #leadership #HR #VUCA #Technology #DevOps
Why isn't #PsychologicalSafety common sense? How come we go to work and don't bring our full courageous, open and learning selves at work? #HR #DevOps #Agile #VUCA #PeopleNotTech #HumansAtWork #FutureOfWork #WaysOfWork #Technology #Organisations
What to do about half-baked Agile unsupported by a shift in the way of thinking? #Transformation without #change. Agile by numbers. Agile as seen on BigConsultancyTV with no change of #mindset. Agile as a #process. The Agile party in the #IT department and #Waterfall #BAU in the #business. Us and them. #WowNotWoT. - Fall in love with #Change - get #DevOps in the mind not the #tech.
Time to talk about #EQ and #leadership if we want to last the #AI revolution. Not only #HR's job but that of every #leader to examine who the #team is and what they can do to increase and train their own #empathy, they #emotional knowledge, their ability to care and inspire and more. #HumansAtWork #PeopleNotTech #SoftSkillsAreHard
How To Not Fail At #Agile 94% Of The Time. Why we should stop saying and thinking "transformation"- and how #DevOps is a much better term for the new #WaysOfWork and more importantly the new #WaysOfThinking in #knowledge #organizations who need to do #Agile if they are to use #technology fast and smart enough to delight their #customers.
Curiosity is fundamental for an #Agile, #growth-and-#people-obsessed mindset and the latter is the only way forward in the #knowledge economy. To become part of the #Digital elite, both #leadership and #developers (as well as anyone else at all, really!) need to want to create a new #Cultural paradigm and mould the #FutureOfWork through #DevOps in #Technology around happy #teams and #PsychologicalSafety in our fast-moving #VUCA world. This book will help! #PeopleNotTech #ProjectPhoenix #ProjectUnicorn #HumansFirst #HR #IT
How can anyone be #FitForVUCA in the absence of #ContinousLearning? Why aren't #knowledge #organizations designed with #curiosity at the very core? It's time #L&D became true #LearningAndDevelopment instead of a discreet #HR afterthought and drove the organization if we are to have any hope of #Innovation and #growth.
I think it’s time I admitted I need examples. Examples of “oh stop being fanatical, we must be measured in our approach, there are plenty of situations where the old ways of doing things have their rightful place”. I ask what those are every time I am told I’m being […]
It’s hard to have an obsession with #Agile and write about it every week (Agile, not the obsession) without repeating things. Chiefly because the main message here is a big fat “FFS!”. (And before we go any further I must deplore the demise -please tell me I’m wrong and it’s not […]
