About the session
How can you build your team’s motivation and resilience, especially through major changes?Whether you’re working across multiple teams as an Agile Coach or Scrum Master, or leading your own team, building long-term motivation and resilience is challenging. This interactive session will focus on how to better understand individual motivations, with actionable steps you can build into existing Agile ceremonies or team interactions.
Using the JARSS-C framework, which builds on Australian neuroscientist Dr. David’s Rock’s SCARF work with the latest neuroscience learnings, you’ll come away with an understanding of:
- How to use the 6 key factors that build motivation and resilience
- Ways to adjust your approach for different team members
- What neuroscience is discovering about motivation and resilience.
This is an interactive session. After we walk through the insights, you’ll be working in groups to create your own options for 1 of the 6 factors.

- Unspoken Enemies of Agility: Reciprocal Interdependencies with Denis SunnyLink visible for attendees
Unspoken Enemies of Agility: Reciprocal Interdependencies
Unspoken Enemies of Agility: Reciprocal Interdependencies - explore the most impactful type of interdependencies and how they should be addressed according to worldwide practice and the serious scientific studies in the foundation of the course Designing Agile Organisations (DAO).
What is DAO?
In +99% of Agile adoptions, companies make the same mistake of trying to apply a local change (e.g. Agile framework) while leaving untouched the surrounding organisation. As a result, different levels of organisation and different aspects (e.g. HR processes, reporting lines, and line management approaches) conflict between them since they are designed to drive in different directions.The certified course Designing Agile Organisations (DAO for short) is not another framework. You rather can look at it as an approach to creating your own framework, yet covering the entire organisational system from all its perspectives and all levels. This approach is based on Systems Thinking and holistic organisational design. No magic anymore but sole logic.
Based on scientific axioms of organisational design as well as purely practical guidelines supported by multiple real-life examples, DAO opens the way to create truly Agile organisations.
How is the topic connected to DAO?
One such axiom is related to Reciprocal Interdependencies - the most impactful type causing a tremendous loss in speed, picking coordination overhead, and ultimately - lost business opportunities. Most importantly, such interdependencies usually cross the boundaries of teams, groups, departments, or even companies. They are one of the main enemies of Agility unless you know how to address them.Agenda
