Learn how Agile-mature organizations adapt nimbly to microchanges in market conditions. Learn cutting-edge practices and concepts as you extend your implementation of Agile through the entire enterprise to meet customer needs.

Veteran Agile coach Mario Moreira argues that two critical conditions must be conscientiously cultivated at a company before it can expect to reap in full measure the business benefits of mature Agile. First, individuals at every level must be committed to the mindset and the implementation of practices rigorously focused on delivering value to the customer. Second, all employees must be empowered to take ownership. This holistic transformation wrenches the status quo and provokes a strong focus where customers and employees matter. Author by: Bryan R.

Skilled leaders and facilitators can utilize this approach to unleash the creative potential of their organizations. What is dns cache ccleaner. Drawing from years of applied research, the authors bring together insights from the fields of design and organizational development into an evocative and pragmatic “how-to” guidebook. Taking a human-centred rather than process oriented perspective, the book argues that experience design separates true co-creation from other forms of collective efforts and design thinking.

Collective moments of creative insight emerge from the space between, an experience of flow and synchronicity from which new ideas spring forth. How to create and hold this space is the secret to the art of co-creation.

Collective breakthroughs require stakeholders to undergo a journey from the world of their existing expertise into spaces of new potential. It requires leaders moving from a position of dominating space to holding the space for others, and developing core capacities such as empathy and awareness so that teams can engage each other co-creatively. This book uncovers the secrets of this journey, enabling process designers to develop more effective programs. Author by: W.

The traditional hierarchical organization has long been under fire, resulting in numerous new organizational experiments.

Leaders need a synthesis of what we know about these emerging models, along with an integrated perspective that can guide practice. What is the new organization, and how does it work? Arthur Yeung and Dave Ulrich provide that much-needed synthesis and offer leaders a practical, integrated framework for reinventing the organization. They explain how to build a new kind of organization (a 'market-oriented ecosystem') that responds to changing market opportunities with speed and scale.

While other books address individual pieces of the puzzle, Reinventing the Organization looks at all the decisions leaders need to make-choosing the right strategies, capabilities, structure, culture, management tools, and leadership to deliver radically greater value in fast-moving markets.
