Agile Bullshit: Exploring Anti-patterns that Damage OrganisationsSynopsis:
Noel and Koen love Agile, but they’ve witnessed a lot of BS in their combined careers. So much so, they ended up writing a book about it, Agile Bullshit.Noel will talk to us about how they wrote this book in an agile way, they’ll explore some of the 56 anti patterns (bad practices) and we may even get to play a little game of bingo too!
Spoiler Alert: There will be an awesome gift being given away to a lucky someone!
Speaker:
Noel Warnell's agile journey started in 2011 and he hasn’t looked back. 14 years later, dozens of organisations and a handful of job titles, he is an experienced agile practitioner.

Topic:
Introducing the Deliberately Adaptive OrganisationSynopsis:
The Deliberately Adaptive Organisation is the model at the heart of Mike’s new book Wholehearted: Engaging with Complexity in the Deliberately Adaptive Organisation, a fresh, complexity-aware, and ground-up reconstruction of Stafford Beer’s Viable System Model (VSM). The diagnostic power of this classic organisational model remains unrivalled, and to it we bring a truly 21st century approach. We work with rather than against the grain of two key realities: that everyone’s experience of the organisation is different, and that they see different possibilities emerging for it. What’s at stake: how you think about organisations, and how you engage with their challenges.And for an extra treat: He's giving away a copy of his new book! You won't want to miss out on that!
Speaker:
Five-time author Mike Burrows is recognised for his pioneering work in Lean, Agile, and Kanban, his advocacy for participatory and outcome-oriented approaches to change, transformation, and strategy, and his relational approach to organisation. Prior to his consulting career, he was global development manager and Executive Director at a top tier investment bank, CTO for an energy risk management startup, and interim delivery manager for two of the UK government’s digital ‘exemplar’ projects. Through Agendashift and the Agendashift Academy, his focus now is on wholehearted, deliberately adaptive organisations and the transformational leadership that enables them.Sponsor:
