FOCUS in the Rabobank Boardroom

February 25, 2021 By Anurag Shrivastava

Marjolijn Feringa & Jeroen Venneman will explore the need for FOCUS Board. In this fast-changing world organizations need to adapt quickly. And it is not only the shop floor that needs to adjust. The boardroom and executives need to speed up as well. The whole organization is on the road toward a responsive organization. But how do you do this at executive level? At the Dutch Rabobank this transformation is also taking place. A transformation for all people in the organization with a shift from management leadership to personal leadership. An exemplary role and a good design to connect strategy with operation is needed to Foster an agile culture through People, Leadership and Business. In 2018 Marjolijn en Jeroen introduced the FOCUS board in the Boardroom of the Rabobank. Now more than two years later there is a lot of experience with the FOCUS board on different levels in and outside the Rabobank.

This session will give you insight in the power of a FOCUS board, why to use it, how to use it, and what it is. It will also provide you the lessons learned and the improvements we have made. If you want to prepare for this session, this is our reading tip: Agile focus in governance: Pocket guide for executives in transformation: Feringa, Marjolijn, Venneman, Jeroen: Amazon.nl

Quo Vadis, Agility?

February 25, 2021 By Anurag Shrivastava

Agile, it existed long before the manifesto, but did not yet have the name.
Agility, it will still exist long after Agile will have become something of the past.
What was the purpose of the movement when the manifesto was crafted? And now?
The agile way of working, way of thinking, is slowly evolving from its IT background into general mainstream. Slowly evolving from IT-heavy sectors into other areas, not IT heavy.
After 20 years, we’re still talking tools, techniques, methods, principles, yes principles everywhere. No principles no glory. Agile Wars between methods, all united against traditionalism. Many have seen the light. Much has evolved. We’ve learned so much. We’ve developed so much. We’ve reused so much.
So for a couple of years, we are now talking about agile businesses, agile organisations. That’s our new horizon. Organisations and businesses that need to survive in the VUCA world turn to agility. And yet, there’s still doing agile and being agile. And what’s wrong in doing agile when you’re not being agile? Or vice versa? Although we’re growing up, we’re sometimes still dogs learning new tricks. To what avail?
Can we have a look beyond the horizon? What might be there? What will we keep, what will we throw away? What will last beyond the word Agile? What are the real problems the world is facing, and can agility play a role in solving those?

SPEAKER
Peter Coesmans is just a nice man, playing bass guitar, helping organisations to improve. He was involved with agile before snow bird, and will be involved in agile long after agility has gone. He does not believe in methods and tools doing any good, although he likes to use some of them. And he was even (co-)authoring some of them. He joined up with “the enemy” and was very active in IPMA, the International Project Management Association, amongst other things being lead author for the international programme management standard and being an assessor for projects all over the world. Sheer heresy! So, he returned to the mothership as director for the agile business consortium. He is locked away in his own little room trying to survive the pandemic, and make the world a better place while he’s here anyway.

The Premise and Promise of Agile

February 23, 2021 By Anurag Shrivastava

This interactive session will explore the premise of the agile manifesto and the implied promise of agile itself. Has either been achieved? In what ways has agile succeeded and where has it fallen short? How could we as a community rediscover the value of agile for ourselves, for each other, for our community and for the world at large?

This talk is designed in sync with two other events:
– A Lean In Agile (LIA) spiral event focusing on amplifying women’s voices and women’s needs on the same topic.
– A global retrospective exploring how could the Agile Business Consortium support the ongoing iteration and value realization of agile
