PREPARATION: • Count off 1, 2, 3 around your table • Each number has a role: - 1 = CEO - 2 = CIO - 3 = ATM (Agile Transformation Minion) • CIO grab a pen and paper A day in the life of the CIO - 7 -

ACTIVITY: • CEO and ATM demand many things of the CIO about the agile transformation. Be demanding! • CIO – write down what’s driving you to drink 5 minutes When I put my hand in the air, finish your discussion. A day in the life of the CIO - 8 -

- 27. 1. Superposition - 27 - > We need fast feed back loops to know what is actually true
- 28. 2. Relationship - 28 - > It is the AND and process we engage in that matter more than hierarchy and structure, give up predictability and open up to potentials
- 29. 3. Elementary particles - 29 - > We are clouds of relationships and probabilities, with dependencies on each other, as individuals and as teams
- 30. 4. Disorder and chaos - 30 - > We cannot be creative and innovative without disorder. Growth comes through disequilibrium, experimentation
- 31. 5. Dissipative structures - 31 - > Adaptation and resilience in agile -- willingness to change based on unexpected conditions
- 32. 6. Autopoiesis - 32 - > Every process we have impacts every other, and this is for continuous growth, continuous improvement
- 33. 7. Self-reference - 33 - > Stay congruent in your vision and goal as you invite change through self-organization, not command-and-control
- 34. 8. Holism - 34 - > Look at the entire value stream, don’t sub-optimize on silos, check your feedback loops
- 35. 9. Process over structure - 35 - > Watch the flow, the work, not the worker, the processes of interaction versus hierarchy
- 36. 10. Decentralization - 36 - > Servant leaders know what decisions to move closest to the value worker, stability is not through control
- 37. 11. Uncertainty - 37 - > Let go of false precision; use fast feedback loops to take advantage of uncertainty
- 38. 12. [ ] - 38 - > We don’t yet know what we don’t know, all things are possible in our cloud of probabilities
