Editor's Notes
- #5: A complex system just like our Enterprise IT all alone will land up into massive destruction. What we really need is a good synergy and collaboration among the independent units to be able to all function together.
- #8: There are organizations which focuses only on outcome irrespective of people, team, innovation, processes etc Management are more oriented towards people and decisions are taken accordingly Organization emphasizes more on team rather than individuals and tasks are organized accordingly Organization which promotes innovation and risk taking irrespective of proven frameworks in market Organization which focuses on stability as compared to growth Organizations which are competitive in nature and set aggressive goals for them Organizations which pay lot of attention to analysis, precision and are data driven
- #13: More focus on utilization and other temporary goals Pressure on team for benefits of Agile like early delivery Changing interest of leadership Use of Agile vocabulary to substitute waterfall work Selected Agile principles, waterfall everywhere else Change in leadership with different vision Conflict in culture itself of different organization/country Power Distance within the team Behavior as individuals OR as a team Uncertainty avoidance index to deal with ambiguities Orientation for long term Vs short term
- #14: Focus on a desired goal exhibiting collective performance Have positive synergy in the team, socialize with each and understand workplace, complementing skill set of each other Having respect for each other, focus on individual as well as mutual goals, building trust and accountability as a team Support innovation and thoughts for continuous learning Rewards and recognition program to keep the motivation high
- #15: Kotter change model mentions about the phases of creating a change , engaging the organization to it and then further sustaining it. It is even applicable when it comes about single team's Scrum & Agile adoption or when we are trying to scale it across multiple teams.
