Any self-respecting business with claims on sustainability or ambition to win these days, is aware that we live in a #VUCA world and the ways we used to employ to do business as recently as a few years ago, are simply no longer fit for purpose. “Speed” is the word of […]

"If you’re serious about #Agile enough to see it succeed in permeating the entire #organisation, take a look at the methods and practices that are state of the art in #software #development as they’re dripping with blessed inbuilt goodwill, thirst for #knowledge, willingness to make (arguably “too many” but that’s another post for another day) mistakes and true, ego-less #collaboration" #devops #SDO #PeopleNotTech #NoWoWWithoutWoT #technology #leadership #HR #operations #SAFE #ImpressionManagement #PsychologicalSafety #teams
On the value of real 1-on-1's - the interactions that make a great #leader. #Psychological Safety #HR #EmployeeEngagement #Leadership #PeopleNotTech #EQ #HumansAtWork #WaysOfWork #VUCA
The knowledge that #Agile is THE way is worth the effort to keep both ourselves and others anchored in the breath of the principles and incessantly ask ourselves: “Am I #Agile “yet?” or “Am I #Agile “still”?” #DevOps #Transformation #FutureOfWork #NoWOWwithoutWOT #PeopleNotTech #HumansAtWork #Technology #Flexibility #Meditation #WaysOfWork
If you’re aiming for a #PsychologicallySafe high #performing #team (and let’s face it, in this #VUCA world what other kind is meant to survive?) then you need to keep a close eye on #ImpressionManagement and closely observe them so that they don’t engage in the behaviour. Here is what it means and where to start. #leadership #technology #productivity #peoplenottech #humansatwork #devops #waysofwork #psychologicalsafety #HR
Since this is a cross between a product blog; an oped ranty space about VUCA and humans in organizations; an account of a start-up’s journey to change the world; and above all, a space for all of us to focus sharply on the only lever of productivity: psychological safety - it’s crucial we have clarity and common language so here are some articles we’ll need for you to read/re-read. #Leadership #Technology #Teams #HR #VUCA #PeopleNotTech #PsychologicalSafety #EmotionalIntelligence #ImpressionManagement #Change #Prouctivity #Performance
"Every responsible adult should have some type of “personal practice” - ideally containing what they do for their bodies and for their minds and souls as well- to ensure they are fit for this #VUCA fight we're all facing in the #workplace" #HR #FutureOfWork #WaysOfWork #PeopleNotTech #PsychologicalSafety #Leadership #Team #PersonalPractice #BeingHuman #HumansAtWork #Betterment #Resolutions #2020
"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
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
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.
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 typically end it by urging someone to try it for a month. Read a bit more – start at the manifesto and then transfer their team’s (or even their personal) action items into some form of a version of a board be it by sticking some post-its or starting a Trello board. Just for a month. Just to see. See if they’ll fall in love with rapid results they built together from the heart.
