Meta-practices for Agility with Tobias Mayer

In the world of Agile coaching, consultancy, transformation there has always been a focus on frameworks, models, tools, techniques and other concepts and activities concerned with the immediate implementation of agility.

What is often missing is a sense of practice, and by this I do not mean the day to day practice of doing the work we need to do—although that as well—but something more like meta-practice, ways of being that encompass not only the action of doing but a spirit of being.

This session, a blend of presentation and group dialog, will explore five meta practices that have been vital to my own understanding and practice when engaged as a change agent of one sort or another. I believe them to be important ideas for the field of organisational transformation as a whole.

About Tobias

I am an explorer of human relationships, a writer, mentor, teacher and speaker. I am committed to the liberation of the corporate workplace, and to that end I spend a lot of time thinking, talking and writing on personal responsibility, grassroots initiative and confronting the status quo.

Drawing on over thirty years experience in the fields of group facilitation, social service, technical theatre, graphic design, software development, theology, organisational restructuring and individual counseling I journey into the heart of corporations and non-profits, or invite people out to cafes, community spaces, church halls and pubs where I offer workshops and dialogs to awaken the dormant creative spirit therein, encouraging leaders and citizens alike as they discover new ways to show up for work, to collaborate, and to discover their greater, shared purpose.
