3. The value of Conversations, Relationships, and Mediation — an agile network effect.
An Agile Manifesto for Organisations (courtesy Bruce Caron)
We value:
• Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
• Working volunteers over comprehensive documentation
• Member collaboration over contract negotiation
• Responding to change over following a plan.
Going forward…
• Register you data — give it a PID and some metadata.
• Drink the community champagne! (Adopt a deliverable.)
• Seek connection and collaboration, but do not fear difference. Therein lies insight.
• Continue to build a culture of trust and sharing.
• Contribute to a strategic direction around communication, coordination, and engagement.
