Talk description
Title:
Surfing with Social Machines
Short synopsis:
Many business leaders pride themselves on setting the high-level strategy and staying out of the details. But big picture, hands off leadership isn’t likely to work in a change situation, because the hardest part of change is in the details. Successful change requires a translation of ambiguous (and ambitious) goals into concrete behaviours. The mega-trend in business transformation and agility over the last decade or so has arguably been variations on the Silicon Valley playbook. Study what The Four (Apple, Amazon, Google and Facebook) and their kind do, and apply it to your, or to your client’s business. So we have LEAN, and Lean Kanban, and Lean Startup, and Less, and Scrum, and Scaled Agile and the list goes on. In Surfing with Social Machines we look at application of these frameworks instances of Social Machines, that is, as systems comprising humans and technology interacting and producing outputs or results which would not be possible without both parties being present. In surfing terms, it’s hard to call it surfing, and even harder to surf successfully if you don’t have a board. We draw on real-world case studies and focus on the importance of adoption – time on the board – as being the overlooked major contributor to success.
