SPaMCAST 746 - Manifesto for Organizational Agility, A Conversation With Jeff Bubolz And Chad Beier

Published: March 12, 2023, 9 p.m.

b'This week we discuss the Manifesto for Organizational Agility with Jeff Bubolz and Chad Beier. Jeff and Chad developed the manifesto to help organizations get agile and stay agile. Many organizations rush into agile finding early success that turns sour a few months or years down the road. This pattern is indisputable. The Manifesto seeks to highlight the core issues that lead to this pattern (you will also want to listen to the interview with Bob Galen on SPaMCAST 748 due to be posted on 26 March).\\xa0 You can read the Manifesto for Organizational Agility at http://bit.ly/3mOnBaU Chad and Jeff\\u2019s Bios: Chad is an organizational agility advisor and external change agent with Wisconsin Agility and Professional Scrum Trainer (PST) with Scrum.org.

Chapter 19 of Extraordinary is titled \\u201c Setting Up a Badass Agile Coaching Community of Practice.\\u201d I have strong opinions about Communities of Practice (CoP). They can be a very valuable tool, when done well, for supporting movements within an organization. As Mr. Galen points out, a CoP, is a place for learning and feedback. Done poorly they are invasive and harmful. CoPs will get like-minded people together to learn, support each other, interact, and become a community.\\xa0 Buy a copy and upgrade your coaching skills -\\xa0 Previous Installments: Week 18: - \\xa0 Week 17: - \\xa0 Week 16: - \\xa0 Week 15: - \\xa0 Next SPaMCAST\\xa0 We will continue our exploration of fatalism\\u2019s impact on change in organizations (listen to the essay in SPaMCAST 745). Fatalism does not have to be permanent. How that transition away from fatalism can be made varies depending on context.
