by Management 3.0 Facilitator Limor Halfon This week I spoke about Management 3.0 to the Agile community in Israel.

And it was clearly...

Read moreWhat is meant with Teal Organizations and how are they related to Management 3.0? An article by Jürgen Mohr, Management 3.0 Facilitator.
Read moreby Jennifer Riggins One of the prevailing themes — and one of the most misused misconceptions — of agile is self-organization. From cells to solar systems, self-organization is inherent to nature. And yet we somehow reject the concept in management. Self-Organization: It’s really just a matter of trust. One of the prevailing themes — and...
Read moreRecently we held a Meetup at Adaptworks to show a powerful mix between Management 3.0 and SAFe®. In my opinion, it was one of the most interesting Meetups that I had the opportunity to attend.
Read moreby Ralph van Roosmalen Management 3.0 and Agile, how do they fit together? Does Management 3.0 need Agile? Does Agile need Management 3.0? Does Agile Software Development need Management 3.0? Good questions, especially because we developed a new module called Agile Product Development. Let’s first talk about Agile. Agile is a mindset. For example, doing...
Read moreby Marjan Venema The longest journeys start with a single step. You get to where you want to go by continuing to put one foot in front of the other. My energy to keep taking those steps comes from a big vision. Over the past few years though, I’ve learned that big visions can also...
Read moreby Loïc Leofold A few years ago, I was asked to be mentor for a Startup Weekend. I’m still very proud of my experience. Relationships with participants were mutually beneficial: they developed their competencies and worked to become more agile. And they gave me energy. It was very exciting! When Sam looked for mentors to...
Read moreby Loïc Leofold Holidays are over. Kids are back in school. Also comes the time to choose your family activities. “I want to play football.” “And me, to ride!” “You take us to the restaurant!” Have you ever been in this complex situation? Inevitably, you have more choices than time and money. One thing is...
Read moreby Maya Middlemiss The story starts with the end of 17 years in a command-and-control, all or nothing work situation. Let’s call it a rather dark shade of Amber. Giving 100% of myself, to build something ultimately owned and controlled by someone else… and then ending up with nothing at all. I have no regrets...
Read moreby Rachel O’Toole I couldn’t find any model or pattern that I could apply while learning to be a coach. Instead, a model emerged out of my growth as an agile coach. It is based around six different personas that I inhabit when I’m in different types of situations with individuals, groups, and teams. Because...
Read moreby Rachel O’Toole My name is Rachel and I’m an agile coach. My admitting this is the first step in accepting it is my job — one that I didn’t think I wanted. Like anyone who takes on a new role, I was apprehensive. I had never done it before and although others thought this...
Read moreby Robbie Wood The first value of the Agile Manifesto is “Individuals and interactions over processes and tools.” Defining this as the highest value of agile is recognition that people, with their abilities to communicate, collaborate, motivate, and inspire, are the most important component of the business ecosystem. The writers of the manifesto recognized that...
Read moreby Jennifer Riggins We are all, in part, to blame for the extremism that causes terrorism. Extremism most often happens to people without options. When we allow a generation to become hopeless, we make it easier for them to become vulnerable to false promises of a better life. Unemployment and underemployment combined with racism, isolation and hatred can...
Read moreby Jennifer Riggins The School of Play’s Founder Portia Tung started her talk at the AgiNext Meetup by getting us up singing and acting out the infamous “Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes.” Yes, this was a room full of adults. Not only was Portia trying to wake us up after a long day, she was...
Read moreby Maurice Lefebrvre What if I told you that there are companies out there where people can come to work as they are, with no need to hide behind a mask? Where challenges are put before you as opportunities rather than tests? Where your employer is invested in helping you grow by mentoring you into...
Read moreby Jennifer Riggins A workplace can’t continue to be black and white, right and wrong, only made up of good or bad behavior. Like the diverse mindset that’s necessary to innovation and eventual success, you can’t look at team collaboration and management as black and white. And it’d be ridiculous to just put on rose-colored glasses...
Read moreby Fabio Frascella Self organization is a highly recurrent topic when speaking about motivated and happy teams, and I’m a big fan of it. To some of us, it’s because of the sense of purpose, to others the cause of employee engagement and happiness. Whatever your reason is you will find something useful for you...
Read moreby Ryan Lockard Recently I was in a car driving down the eastern coast of England with my Uncle David. It was a long ride through the winding country roads typical of Suffolk. We had a series of conversations about life, including his time as a touring trumpet player with various bands around Europe. His crowning...
Read moreby Robie Wood This is the very first value listed in the Agile Manifesto. Individuals and interactions is all about the agile mindset and the behaviors that “being agile” is all about. Unfortunately, in many “agile” organizations, we still spend most of our time thinking about and working on improving our processes and tools. We...
