Is the main purpose of your organisation actually Exec enrichment or truly customer success?

Because the behaviour of many orgs suggests that Exec enrichment is the real purpose.

To your point Steve Denning notes that the idea of Stakeholder capitalism emerged during the twentieth century and has risen recently (BRT since 2019, Davos Manifesto 2020) to deal with some of the problems of Shareholders capitalism and to keep balancing conflicting claims among stakeholders (where everything is a priority and stakeholders fight in the budget game).

Unsurprisingly it never worked

  • Stakeholder capitalism (add value to all the stakeholders, then everything becomes a priority)

  • Shareholder capitalism (making money is all that matters, ignore consequences, avoid change)

  • Customer capitalism (add value to the customers first, adapt to changing needs)

1Password7 classic extensions are no more supported from July '23 pushing users to the cloud and subscription only 1Password8.

Anyone aware of any Enpass promotions for 1Password users looking for a password manager with a

  • 1 time license fee and
  • local-storage or personal/private cloud vault ?

I've tried Enpass on Mac+Android. browser extensions, 2FA, laptop-mobile sync and the export-import from 1Password7 and I'm happy with how well it works

To me, the Hexagonal architecture together with Design Patterns, TDD + continuous refactoring + emergent design, Mock Objects + IoC + DI, and legacy codebases refactoring techniques, was the 1st minimal complete set of sw design thinking tools & techniques to effectively grow high-quality reliable OO code and systems that are easy to understand, modify, extend, and evolve.

Was it the same for you? Or?

I'm speaking at FlowCon France in Paris 6-7 March, on how to make Accountability & Commitment work when creating Complex products & services. This is my session => https://flowcon2024.sched.com/event/1XmqU/should-we-retire-accountability-commitment-and-find-a-better-alternative

It is informed by Complexity-thinking and Promise Theory (for how distributed agents offer and consume services making and keeping or not promises).

lukadotnet,

At the conference https://www.flowcon.io/ you'll also meet @ziobrando (DDD, ES) and @suksr (human orgs based on DDD, @TeamTopologies , and Wardley's maps), only @matthewskelton (TT) seems missing.
I see interesting hallway conversations coming.

Instead of a New Year's resolution, this is an old-year retrospective.

In the past year:

  • I have not created another scaled, allegedly agile, framework or any proprietary silver bullet

  • I have not created a new certification

  • I have not affiliated myself with any certifying body

  • I have not added a certification to my LinkedIn profile headline

  • I have not chosen self-promotion over open community contributions.

And not because I could not, but because I have chosen to.

Koen Vastmans comments on SAFe blending many good concepts & techniques with misrepresentations+omissions of key elements & mindset needed to make things work. He lists several examples.

A summary has been added here => https://bit.ly/SAFe4DecisionMakers

There you also find comments from authors whose concepts and techniques have been blended and assimilated by SAFe, for example from Jeff Gothelf (on Lean UX), Dave Farley (on Continuous Delivery), Ken Schwaber (on Scrum).

We are running in circles going nowhere ...

Can't we see that ?

Nothing will make a difference until we tackle the Implicit underlying reliance on foresight and control

How to succeed over difficult problems?

This interview covers my formative experience during the personal computers and internet revolution in navigating uncharted waters, and unfamiliar, unexplored territories like we are doing again with Artificial Intelligence right now.

The interview also introduces the micro-guide to Complexity-thinking as a fundamental tool for the challenge => https://youtu.be/Mb9wrBtu7XI?si=4ysSoJyv1Rrar6tV

"But how does it scale?" is a common question for organizational transformation initiatives. The answer is that it scales primarily via enthusiasm and learning, not via structure or framework.

Example:

Let's say the required outcome is to move 100 people over 10 kilometers. Do you:

  1. Build a juggernaut that fits 100 people 🚚 - the "framework" approach
  2. Organize a 10km fun run and train people up 🏃 - the nimble, humane approach

The 10km run is the way

#transformation #FastFlow

lukadotnet,

@matthewskelton That is not a question, but an obsession with size. A typical male problem ...

You do not scale it, you nurture it and allow it to grow.

You will start by planting a seed and ensuring it will bloom, or it won't even have a chance.

Here is the draft of a list of historical events (past articles, papers, books, posts, conference topics) from before 1990 up to our days.

The list tries to picture the Agile origins and its original essence. Especially for those who got into Agile in 2010 or later (feel free to share the list with them).

But if you were there earlier, comment on the doc and improve the list: https://docs.google.com/document/d/10YZt7Tv_03r0xDcvRCNApzPfkYg57dLVhv-dt16KyQM/edit?usp=sharing

#Agile #Archeology #History

lukadotnet,

@AAMfP I thik I can mention them explicitly as relevant pubblications following the toyota way (in the comments below that item). would that make sense?

lukadotnet,

@AAMfP given that adding too many items to the list will obscure its content, don't you think that startign from teh towyota way the reader may then find the yoyota kata books too wihtout mentioning it?

or should bey be mentioned too?

thoughts on balancy list readablility with completness for this case?

lukadotnet,

@AAMfP I have just added the mention, thanks !

⚠️ Don't try to "install" Team Topologies. Developing new capabilities and awareness takes time and practice. It's iterative.

lukadotnet,

@matthewskelton language plays an important role in attracting practitioners looking for an installation vs an adoption.

Early XP/Agile was intentionally incomplete expecting practitioners to adapt, evolve, reinvent and invent.

The early Agile community invested in the concept of community described, collected and curated evolving repositories of emerging patterns.

XP tech practices approached different potentially alternative practices as pros/cons based on context instead of silver bullets.

GOOD NEWS, BAD/FAKE AGILE IS SHRINKING, MAKING SPACE FOR GOOD AGILE

The new 17th State of Agile Report for 2023 (*) shows a collapse of SAFe market share and, more generally, a decline of all scaled, allegedly Agile, frameworks and other canned recipes. And a growth in not mandating one framework.

This is congruent with flaws/failures of scalded recipes:
