Welcome to the KnolShare with Dr. Dave podcast, hosted on

Grokshare.com and streamed on iTunes, Google Play, and Spotify.   You are

listening to Episode #63 featuring Randi Dorman, Tucson’s 2019 Mayoral

candidate.  The topic is Randi for Mayor.

Let’s learn more about Randi.

Dr. Dave Cornelius sat with Tucson 2019 Mayoral candidate Randi

Dorman to learn why she is running for the Mayor’s seat after Mayor Jonathan

Rothschild leaves office this year.

Randi said … I’ve been here for 20 years and see the people,

the culture, and the beauty that is in Tucson. 

I think Tucson, AZ has limitless potential and settles for the status

quo too often.  We default to saying we

are a low age town for decades and that is why we cannot have a higher quality

of life.  I think it is ridiculous,

decades after decades having this position. 

We should honor the past but look toward the future.

Randi Dorman – Tucson, AZ 2019 Mayoral Candidate with Dr. Dave

BOSSAnova

Welcome to the KnolShare with Dr. Dave podcast, hosted on

Grokshare.com and streamed on iTunes, Google Play, and Spotify.   You are

listening to Episode #10 of the Agile For Humanity Tucson Meetup Webinar Series

featuring Jutta Eckstein.  The topic is BOSSA

nova: Beyond Agile – Preparing for Digitalization. 

BOSSA is an acronym that means:

* Beyond Budgeting* Open Space * Sociocracy* Agile

The definition of

“Nova” is “a star showing a sudden large increase in brightness and then slowly

returning to its original state over a few months”.  The reality of systems returning to their

original state can be demoralizing if not cared for with diligence.  That is why we use the Plan Do Inspect Adapt

cycle of continual improvement to help sustain a better way of working

Abstract

Digitalization calls for rapid

organizational flexibility and adaptability. This has an impact on all

dimensions of a company: its strategy, structure, and the processes. Agile will

help implementing some of this flexibility and adaptability yet mainly in terms

of processes. But true organizational agility doesn’t result from simply

“trying harder” by e.g. substituting management meetings with daily Scrums

or using a backlog for the board of directors.

Thus, the digital transformation

needs companies to look beyond Agile and look for principles that guide us in

developing: 

* Continuous improvement strategies necessary to enable self-sufficiency and adaptation in every department – not just the software department.* The executive and board roles in driving organizational agility.* Processes, strategies, and structures that enable the current culture to self-organize for company-wide agility.

Company-wide agility requires a holistic

approach, a combination of different principles: First and foremost, the

principles of Beyond Budgeting, Open Space, and Sociocracy provide the

missing links for a company to fully embrace digitalization. The combination of

these concepts enables a company not only to survive but also to thrive

(digital) disruptions.

About Jutta

Jutta works as an

independent coach, consultant, trainer, author, and speaker. She has helped

many teams and organizations worldwide to make an agile transition. She has a unique

experience in applying agile processes within medium-sized to large distributed

mission-critical projects. She has published her experience in her books. She

is the co-author of ‘Company-wide Agility with Beyond Budgeting, Open Space

& Sociocracy’ (abbreviated with BOSSA nova) and ‘Diving for Hidden

Treasures: Uncovering the Cost of Delay in your Project Portfolio’. She is the

author of ‘Agile Software Development in the Large’, ‘Agile Software

Development with Distributed Teams’, and ‘Retrospectives for Organizational

Change’.

She is a member of the Agile Alliance (having

served the board of directors from 2003-2007) and a member of the program

committee of many different American, Asian, and European conferences, where

she has also presented her work.
