Blog postIllustration 132077053 © Smokingcoolcat – Dreamstime.com Let’s face it, agile has been remarkably successful in transforming how organizations think about the ways they make and deliver products and services. What started off as a way for software engineers to deliver higher quality software more predictably has now become the default operating system for most organizations. The agile “transformations” these organizations have undertaken typically start off with the software engineering

Blog postI work with teams around the world every day helping them implement objectives and key results. I’ve written about OKR here a lot over the last few years and now, as the goal-setting framework is catching on broadly, the anti-patterns have become increasingly obvious. One such anti-pattern I’ve noticed recently is teams reverse engineering their OKR, specifically their key results, to match their existing backlog. Instead of changing what they’re going to work on to meet the new goals, teams

Blog postTeams that are truly agile, those that achieve master chef level of agility, have a few foundational practices in common. They work in small, cross-functional squads. They maintain a basic but steady cadence of rituals such as daily stand-ups and retrospectives (super important!) and, perhaps most importantly, they work in short cycles. The largest of these short cycles, for teams practicing some form of scrum, is the sprint. However, short cycles manifest in every behavior of an agile team s

Blog postA team building a prototype together. I work with a lot of large organizations. Many of them are legacy institutions – think banks, insurance companies, telcos, etc. While the process of digital transformation is difficult for these companies they also struggle with attracting, hiring and retaining quality talent. This is particularly important as they seek to modernize their in-house capabilities and ways of working. Competition is stiff. Tech behemoths seem to suck up all the good talent.

Blog post“What they didn’t consider: Electric vehicles are more about software than hardware. And producing exquisitely engineered gas-powered cars doesn’t translate into coding savvy.”
source WSJ This damning statement from the Wall Street Journal’s profile of VW’s struggling electric car program is the raw truth and painful realization of nearly every legacy corporation trying to “transform” into a digital organization. It’s been four years since Sense & Respond, the second book Josh Sei -
Blog post“I’m a real believer in that creativity comes from limits, not freedom.” — Jon Stewart, American hero.
Think inside this box! There’s a general feeling with many of the teams I work with that their hands are tied. They’re tied by budgets, workplace technology, micromanaging bosses, unwilling partners and a bubbling cauldron of other constraints. And it’s these constraints that keep teams from innovating, implementing agile ways of working and building and retaining top-quality teams. -

Blog postIt’s been 5 years since I became self-employed. I remember at the time, it was right around the holidays in late 2015, I was terrified. The company I’d help found had just been sold and I wasn’t going to transition over to the new owners. I planned to strike out on my own and give the entrepreneurial life a real go. I had a financial runway of about 6 months should everything go to hell immediately but I’d been fortunate enough to build my practice and learn how to run it inside the safety o<

Blog post“I just pasted a Dropbox link into the Zoom chat so you can access the raw files I just showed you.”
“Oh, we can’t access Dropbox on our work machines. Is there another way you can share it?”
“Here, let me share a Google Doc with you so we can work on this together.”
“We can’t access Google Docs behind the corporate VPN. Can I just send you a Word doc?”
I’m not even going to ask if that sounds familiar to you. I know it does. I know it does because every week I -

Blog postMy friend Jeff Patton recently introduced me to a TED talk that I found to be one of the best descriptions of the power of collaborative visualization. The best part? It’s only 9 minutes long — half the length of standard TED talk, twice the potency in this case. The talk by Tom Wujec is called, “Got a wicked problem? First tell me how you make toast” and in it Tom goes through an exercise he frequently uses with his clients where he asks them to visualize how they make toast.

Blog postWhat struck me the most from the time I spent interviewing Michael Bungay Stanier, author of the best-selling book The Coaching Habit, was how he has repeatedly reinvented himself throughout his career. Whether it was deliberate choices he made to push himself into new and unfamiliar directions or random black swan events like 9/11 that changed the trajectory of his career, Michael took each direction with enthusiasm. It wasn’t always perfect. It didn’t always work out like he’d hoped but he
