Subject

Cleanish Strategy

“The righter we do the wrong thing, the wronger we become” (Ackoff); “Improvement is no substitute for strategy” (yours truly, in Right to Left). Strategy is absolutely essential to success, and yet it is considered by many to be outside of Agile’s scope. How do we fix this? We look at “cleanish”, outside-in strategy – an approach to strategy that is big on authentic engagement and meaningful participation, gets to the issues, and produces coherent, outcomes-based outputs that people can respond to creatively.

Free Offer

Mike is kindly offering a free copy of his, recently released, audiobook edition of Right to Left which we will organise some sort of draw for.
