New Ways of Working the Human Component

February 25, 2021 By Karl Smith

New Ways of Working Agile20Reflect Festival

The Agile20Reflect Festival will have created a great focus on the past, present and future of Agile in Feb 2021. Taking that impetus to the next level we want to think wider about how we can establish the principles of Agile and leverage them in organisational change and new ways of working.

PLANNED AGENDA
18:05 Introduction Karl Smith
18:10 Dr. Gail Ferreira
18:50 Q&A
19:00 Comfort Break
19:10 Dr. Stefanie Puckett
19:50 Q&A

This session is being set up to set out as an Agenda for Change that is focused on humans and how they can remain central to the Measurable Success in Organisations.

Karl Smith will introduce this event he has been a consultant and innovator in Business Transformation and Human Centred Design since 1989 and in Agile since 2004 involved in supporting both business and technology in the adoption of Customer Centricity and Agility. His recent focus has been on combining HCD and Agile in Enterprise Agile Portfolio management as an extension of SAFe.

“While there is now a huge body of work in regard to Agile Transformation much of it has been focused on ‘continuous flow’ and ‘transparent work’ leaving the areas of ‘how to work’ and ‘other people’ in many cases without guidance so they often create anti-patterns that ultimately undermine the Agile Transformations” Karl Smith

RTP ALN Open Space: The Pandemic and Onward

February 19, 2021 By Anurag Shrivastava

The Raleigh Durham (RTP – Research Triangle Park) Chapter of the Agile Leadership Network is hosting our annual OpenSpace Conference. This year the conference is coordinated with the Agile20Reflect Festival.

Our organizing theme is “The Pandemic and Onward.” For many in technology, remote working and distributed teams are familiar territory. In other business sectors, like financial and manufacturing, the pandemic isolation has been a disruption. For personal services and hospitality, its been nothing short of a disaster.

Outside of business, the pandemic has turned the modern dilemma of a person who is “alone in a crowd” into a person who is “in a crowd alone.” Our contact with others is mediated through apps and telecommunication devices. At one time we have never been more connected while being so apart.

And, yet, we see adaptation, innovation, and change: theaters stream live performances and musicians sell concerts from their living rooms; Zoom has become synonymous with on-line conferencing with families and friends; schools consider a future where there are no more snow days.

How has the pandemic disrupted the workplace? What role has Agile played in the response to the disruption? Which of these changes are lasting? What does the Future of Work look like after the pandemic has ended?

Join us to explore the past, present, and future of Agile through the lens of the global pandemic and our response to it.

Archived The Future of Agile where next? A panel discussion.

February 3, 2021 By Jerome Arockia

Future of Agile

 

The Future of Work Scotland team are excited to be supporting the Agile20reflect festival with a look at the “Future of Agile”

This session will see four of our past guest speakers return to engage in a lively debate on where Agile goes from here. What could the future hold?

Come join us in 2021 and here the thoughts of four respected Agile thought leaders.

Our panel will include:

Johanna Rothman:

Johanna is a speaker, consultant and author of many books including managing product development and From Chaos to Successful Distributed Agile Teams: Collaborate to Deliver (with Mark Kilby). Johanna joined us in April 2020 alongside Mark to share her insights on going from co-located to dispersed teams.

Johann is known as the “Pragmatic Manager” and provides frank advice for your tough problems. She helps leaders and teams see problems and resolve risks and manage their product development. We love hearing Johanna’s insights and are delighted to welcome her back!

Lyssa Adkins:

Lyssa has not previously been a guest speaker with us but she really needs little introduction. A recognised coach, facilitator, teacher and inspirer.

To quote Lyssa “I believe that Agile is a brilliant, emergent response to help us thrive in our ever-increasingly complex, changeable and interconnected world. My current focus is coaching Leadership Teams and Boards of Directors to take up the Agile transformation that is theirs to do — on both a personal and group level. For many years I have been a passionate contributor to the discipline and profession of Agile Coaching and have trained thousands of agilists in the knowledge, skills, and mindsets needed to coach teams and organizations to get full benefits of Agile”

Lyssa is of course the author of Coaching Agile Teams which is still a best seller 10 years later. We are thrilled that she has agreed to join our panel discussion and share her thoughts with our community.

Tobias Mayer:

Tobias joined us for a brilliant session in October 2020 where he facilitated a discussion on “The Now of Work” amidst the challenges of the global pandemic and all the upheaval it brought for our work and lives.

Tobias Mayer is an explorer of human relationships, writer, mentor, teacher and speaker. He is committed to the liberation of the corporate workplace, and to that end, spends a lot of time thinking, talking and writing on personal responsibility, grassroots initiative and confronting the status quo. Tobias is the author of the 2013 book ‘The People’s Scrum’, and the upcoming audiobook ‘The State of Work’.
