REFLECTION

Are my

business

problems

the same

as

everyone

else?

No

they’re

unique

So then,

why is

my

solution

just like

everyon

e else?

Am I in

a

position

to

create a

new

way of

doing

things?

How do I

empower

myself

today?

Why don’t I

find

innovative

solutions

for my own

problems?

CHAPTER 2

RE Frame

agile

There is no such thing as an

agile transformation

There is no such thing as an

digital transformation

It is only ever about an

organisational transformation

agile, digital, etc. are enablers

People

Organic

Soft Stuff

Internal

You

Process and Tools

Inorganic

Hard Stuff

External

Customer

IS ISN’T

If you are doing it for the right

reasons, don’t do it

RIGHT

SO WHAT IS AGILE?

It is the

CORE COMPETENCE

of an organisation

corporation. Harvard Business Review (1990), pp. 79–91

corporation

“Core competence is thecollective learning in theorganisation, especiallythe capacity tocoordinate diverseproduction skills andintegrate streams of

Final Thoughts

“Go to the people.

Learn from them.

Start with what they know.

Build with what they have.

But with the best leaders, when the work is done,

the task accomplished, the people will

say 'We have done this ourselves.” – Lao Tzu
