  • Beyond Budgeting with Steve Morlidge

    This month I was lucky enough to talk with Steve Morlidge to talk about the Beyond Budgeting. He is an expert in Beyond Budgeting, a financial method that searches for a lot of the same anti fragile outcomes as the Agile manifesto.

    Why is this important?

    Yearly budgets are inefficient and wasteful.

    Trying the forecast your budget for the year is like trying to forecast your roadmap for the year. It will most likely change with new information, so moving to “just enough” planning is less wasteful.

    Yearly budgeting encourages bad behaviour.

    Forcing people to allocate dollars before they know what they need it ends up with them asking for too much at the beginning and madly spending before the EOFY.

    Here is What You Will Learn

    The six pillars of change.

    Understand the six pillars that will support your organisation to this more Agile financial method.

    The Beyond Budgeting iterative method.

    See the cycle that manages failure within boundaries and allow for a greater opportunity for growth and learning.

  • Agile leadership with Peter Moreno

    This month I was lucky enough to sit down and talk with Peter Moreno to talk about the Agile Leadership Framework. This framework combines Agile principles with Integral Theory to equip leaders with a more wholistic view of the world and empower their teams to succeed.

    Why is this important?

    Great leaders empower the team.

    While there is a lot said about the development team in Agile, there is still a need for great leaders to create positive environments for teams to thrive.

    Leaders need a wholistic and integrated view to lead through change.

    Change is pervasive, so if a leader is to be effective, then they need to consider how decisions and events affect all levels of their organisation.

    Here is What You Will Learn

    The Four domains of an Agile leader.

    Understand the four levels that every Agile leader must inhabit to serve their team and deliver results.

    The behaviors of successful Agile leaders.

  • Agile Distributed Teams with Johanna Rothman and Mark Kilby

    This month I was lucky enough to sit down and talk with Johanna Rothman and Mark Kilby , the authors of the book “From Chaos to Successful Distributed Agile Teams: Collaborate to Deliver”.

    Distributed agile teams have a terrible reputation. They don’t deliver “on time,” and too often, they don’t deliver what the customer needs. However, most agile teams have at least one remote team member. And, agile approaches are here to stay.

    Why is this important?

    Distributed teams are becoming more normal.

    With the global nature of business and the recent need to be remote because of pandemic, businesses need to be remote friendly to survive and attract the best talent.

    Distributed teams need to be intentional.

    Sometimes culture and work practices evolve organically in an organisation, but in distributed teams it needs to be intentional and maintained to avoid isolation and misalignment.

    Here is What You Will Learn

    How important collaboration and communication is to any team.

    Making a team distributed will amplify the collaboration and communication skills of the team, so understand how well your team has formed first.

    The eight principles of distributed agile teams.

    Drive clarity and communication by seeing the main pitfalls that Agile distributed teams fall into and how they can be avoided.
