The only thing we can do consistently, it seems, is get it wrong when it comes to predicting our inability to overcome the impossible.

Faith Hoping Imagining
Short-Term Belief Building
...what success will look like, how we might try to achieve it,
and how we will know we found it.
...that the success that others have found will also be
experienced by our team.
...that my organization will forgive small failures in our
quest for better results. Success rarely happens overnight.
(this state has a short life span, use it wisely)

Long Term Belief Building
Sunday, July 25, 2010
Long Term Belief Building Companies must invest enough timeand patience in the transition process.
Provide guidance, training, and effective tools for teams to have the best chance at success.
Be aware of the effect this type of change will have on the corporate culture. Those unprepared for this specific change will likely fail.
But Most Important of All...Sunday, July 25, 2010
Communicate consistently that Agile is the chosen direction of the company.
Problems will need to be solved, no other possible way forward except through our challenges.
Expect your teams to fall down, then help pick them up.
Reward a team’s ability to risk a small failure in turn for the possibility for a better result.
Put in place a mechanism the teams can use to achieve continuous improvement.

What We
Say What We
Do
“Organization learning and change is eventually always about action. One basic reflective skill involves using the gaps between what we say and what we do as a vehicle for becoming more aware. Until the gap between espoused theory andcurrent behavior is recognized, no learning can occur.”
Organizations that struggle with learning how to do old things in new ways, will struggle with Agile.
- Peter Senge, The Fifth Discipline

...And if your team or organization chooses to stay in the desert, they will need to recognize that it is a decision, not an unavoidable circumstance.
Sunday, July 25, 2010
Break the law of organizational inertia.
Necessity may be the mother of invention,but imagination for something better is the
fountainhead for greatness.
