The weekly ReBoot your regular Friday de-brief of things we’ve heard and seen coming from the Agile Community here in Melbourne and beyond.

Today a very very special episode of the podcast, I caught up with Nigel Dalton in literally the smallest cafe in Melbourne to talk about what it means to be Superproductive, Nigel’s new venture and (soon to be finished and published) book. Check out his site here: https://www.superproductive.com/

Nigel is one of the faces of our Lean and Agile community and this is the book that Melbourne needs!

Another mini hack today which is from the Design Thinking body of knowledge and the masters of Design Thinking - IDEO, and that is The Rules of Brainstorming.

Brain- storming is one of those things that gets thrown about a lot as a technique. But it can often descend into just a flurry of ideas or conversation without any resolution or purpose. OR even worse self/censoring or censoring other people’s ideas can yield an atmosphere where the best and most creative contributions never make it to the table.

The Brainstorming Rules:

Defer Judgement

Encourage wild ideas

Build on other’s ideas

Stay on Topic

One conversation at a time

Be visual

Go for quantity

Watch the brainstorming rules video from IDEO: https://vimeo.com/138588491

Here are the rules on Ideo’s design kit, a great resource! https://www.designkit.org/methods/28

Today we have another mini hack episode for you and it’s about the Art of the Reflective Pause.

I was part of running a big workshop last week that involved a whole lot of information and learning, and I witnessed on several occasions the power of reflective pauses, something that if you run a lot of workshops you might be accustomed to doing, and I thought to myself, yes! this is a powerful tool and worthy of a mention as a mini hack for you!

This week another mini hack and it was inspired by a twitter thread that I saw last week. The thread in question suggested that Agile was going to “jump the shark” because of such Malarky as a HR Agility Manifesto that someone had created, and you kind find that manifesto at "https://www.agilehrmanifesto.org/“

We’ve got a special episode coming up a couple of weeks, you’ll be able to come along to a live recording of the podcast, the date for that will be the 22nd of October and we’ll bring your more details about that soon or you can follow us on social media to find out more about that.
