Jason, what do you think?
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ////////@jasonlittle / #trega16////
FFS….here we go again…
Well, from a process
perspective…
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ////////@jasonlittle / #trega16////
Great another meddler…
UNCERTAINTYMETER
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ////////@jasonlittle / #trega16////
oh, he’s not as
annoying as I thought
UNCERTAINTYMETER
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ////////@jasonlittle / #trega16////
ah, ok, he’s giving us
some options…
UNCERTAINTYMETER
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ////////@jasonlittle / #trega16////
That was nice…he
gave up his little agile
room.
UNCERTAINTYMETER
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ////////@jasonlittle / #trega16////
ok, looks like he’s here
to help us out…

“Let go of certainty. The opposite isn't
uncertainty. It's openness, curiosity and a
willingness to embrace paradox”
Tony Schwartz,
Author: The Way We’re Working Isn’t Working
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ////////@jasonlittle / #trega16////
Could everyone standup
please?
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ////////@jasonlittle / #trega16////
OMG
NOOOOOO!
Eek, this might
be hard.
Cool!
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ////////@jasonlittle / #trega16////
“we don’t need to embrace uncertainty,
we need to figure out how to reduce it.”
Me,
(unless someone more famous already said that)
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ////////@jasonlittle / #trega16////
Passive
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ////////@jasonlittle / #trega16////
Active
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ////////@jasonlittle / #trega16////
Interactive
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ////////@jasonlittle / #trega16////

Reinforces existing beliefs
Challenges beliefs
3 Strategies, 7 axioms for reducing uncertainty
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ////////@jasonlittle / #trega16////
Why does
this
matter?
Experiments
have become
fashionable.
//////////////////////////////////
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ////////@jasonlittle / #trega16////
What is the purpose of your experiment?
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ////////@jasonlittle / #trega16////
Produce a measurable outcome
more certainty
blind jump
Commitment
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ////////@jasonlittle / #trega16////
getting to action
makes our
brains feel good.
but sometimes
we get there too
early.
Example
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ////////@jasonlittle / #trega16////
fuzzy measurements
Time-bound
shorter feedback loop
Less certainty
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ////////@jasonlittle / #trega16////
Explore why + what
Start with Google
OKRs
Example
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ////////@jasonlittle / #trega16////
Start!
Experiments
Show progress
early
Man, this
change is
really hard
Uh-oh…
Reboot
Hey, it’s
working!
Uh-oh…

Intervention
WAV E O F C H A N G E
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ////////@jasonlittle / #trega16////
Intervention! The ‘Experiment’ was using Lego Serious Play
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ////////@jasonlittle / #trega16////
17 Change Canvases,
multiple experiments,
Lightning talks as
debriefs
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ////////@jasonlittle / #trega16////
Experiment:
Peer-pressure
“accountability”
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ////////@jasonlittle / #trega16////
How’s it going?
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ////////@jasonlittle / #trega16////
Interventions are events that trigger
change. Experiments are used to transition
people through it.
Me, again!
(man, I’m on a roll…with props to William Bridges.)
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ////////@jasonlittle / #trega16////
start with the big picture
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ////////@jasonlittle / #trega16////
Co-create & make visible!
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ////////@jasonlittle / #trega16////
Prioritize Options
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ////////@jasonlittle / #trega16////
make things visible
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ////////@jasonlittle / #trega16////
Establish Rituals
How often should you
review the big picture?
How long should you run
experiments?
What’s the natural pace of
change?
What’s the tolerance for
disruption?

“BIG PICTURE” APPROACHES
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ////////@jasonlittle / #trega16////
1) What’s the point of the experiment?
2) Passive? Active? Interactive?
3) Involve the people affected
4) Make it visible
5) Establish new rituals
