    Exponential Return - The Principles of Agile Organization - 1 of 6

    Exponential Return - The Principles of Agile Organization - 1 of 6

    An Agile Organization is a pod of dolphins, not a dancing elephant. XSCALE doesn't scale Agile to the organization but de-scales the organization to Agile. In this session Peter Merel introduces the first of the Agile Organization principles, contrasting Kodak with Apple, and Exo with Kano, to illustrate the essential exponential-ROI product management strategy called "extropy".

    Simple Design - The Principles of Agile Organization - 2 of 6

    An Agile Organization is a pod of dolphins, not a dancing elephant. It doesn't scale Agile to the organization; it de-scales the organization to Agile. Contrasting and combining the design methods of Apple, IDEO and Toyota, Peter Merel shows how Pirate Metrics, BDD and Reductive Reasoning generate simple designs for products and value streams.

    Continuous Throughput - The Principles of Agile Organization - 3 of 6

    An Agile Organization is a pod of dolphins, not a dancing elephant. It isn't scaling Agile to the organization; it's de-scaling the organization to Agile. You can't optimise what you don't measure. To continuously adapt teams to products to the market, traditional Agile metrics tell only half the story. Peter Merel explains how to combine these with McClure's Pirate Metrics and Goldratt's Throughput Accounting to continuously focus design and delivery priorities on the key constraint that limits business Agility.

    Autonomous Teams - The Principles of Agile Organization - 4 of 6

    An Agile Organization is a pod of dolphins, not a dancing elephant. It isn't scaling Agile to the organization; it's de-scaling the organization to Agile. How do we align Agile Design, Delivery and DevOps teams hand-in-glove, with no hands-off hand-offs? What is the Collaboration Loop Limit and how do we square it with Dunbar's Number? Peter Merel shows how to combine Von Moltke's Blitzkrieg with Hiawatha's Great Law of Peace, Koestler's Holarchy and Jobs' DRIs to generate self-managing value streams in self-aligning portfolios.

    XSCALE Podcast #5: Leadership as a Service

    Leadership as a Service is the focus on XSCALE fifth Podcast. Peter Merel, Stefan Wolpers and friends discuss how to use servant leadership as a collaborative protocol teams do together, not some magic EQ power for corporate Yodas. We share some of the XBA training material on what the North American Haudenosaunee Great Law of Peace has to do with Prussian Field Marshall Von Moltke’s Auftragstaktik and Apple's DRIs under Jobs. We boil that down to three simple practice-patterns for self-directing portfolios of self-managing value streams that apply at any level from DevOps to PMOs, C-Suites and Boards. This is an easy way to empower consensus decision-making while keeping individual responsibility and timely outcomes.
    XSCALE Podcast #12: Ecosystems Thinking (Part One)

    XSCALE Podcast #12: Ecosystems Thinking (Part One)

    Ecosystems Thinking is the intersection of Holmgren’s Permaculture, Beck’s XP, Goldratt’s Theory of Constraints, and Senge’s Systems Thinking. Permaculture isn't like the others as it concerns biological ecosystems, not fossil-fuelled corporate ones. But Permaculture is the key to the business of business agility. The biggest corporations are ecosystems. Apple, Facebook, Amazon, Google, banks, utilities, and the media medical military complex all cultivate networks of mutual benefit among many market segments, not one time products to single-purpose end-users. Permaculture provides essential principles for designing any ecosystem. It will sustain learning ecosystems in corporations just as well as it does biological ones in high-yield small-holding farms. In recent months, Business Agility Coach Francis Liu and I have been working to specialise Permaculture principles to agile organizations. This podcast represents our first public draft of this work.

    XSCALE Podcast: #13: Ecosystems Thinking (Part Two)

    Ecosystems Thinking is the intersection of Beck’s XP, Goldratt’s Theory of Constraints, Senge’s Systems Thinking and Holmgren’s Permaculture. Permaculture isn't like the others as it concerns small and sustainable farming, not fossil-fuelled corporate cities. But Permaculture is critical to the business of business agility. The biggest corporations are ecosystems: Apple, Facebook, Amazon, Google, banks, utilities, and the media medical military complex make money by intermediating many market segments, not shipping one time products to single-purpose end-users. Permaculture provides principles for designing these ecosystems too. It can sustain learning ecosystems in these corporations just as it does the high-yield small-holding farms where it started. In recent months, Business Agility Coach Francis Liu and I have spent long hours trying to figure out how to apply Permaculture in an agile organization. This #XSCALE Podcast represents the first public draft of our work, and you’re all invited to help explore how these ideas can promote the growth of business streams while reducing short-sighted management games that limit both profit and progress.
    The Camelot Model

    The Camelot Model

    Note there are four important updates to the model since this video was published: 1. Rotation Schemes: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/business-agility-clock-peter-merel/ 2. Circle Ratification: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/updating-camelot-model-peter-merel/ 3. Exception Management: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/camelot-update-2-self-managing-exceptions-peter-merel/ 4. Rotation method for teams of varying sizes: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/camelot-update-3-odd-sized-circles-peter-merel/ -- Original intro: The Spotify model led a generation of agilists to aspire to autonomy and alignment. Now here's a model that extends these beyond an engineering culture to business agility. Self-directing portfolios of self-managing streams of self-organising teams. Advantages: 1) No middlemen. All decisions involve doers and deciders face to face. 2) No bureaucracy. All decisions are made by groups no larger than a right-sized agile team. 3) No inertia. All decisions are continuously reviewed, enabling the organisation to turn on a dime.

    Webinar | From Estimation to Forecasting with Kanban by Masa K Maeda | 14th June 2018

    Overview: Estimation tools such as t-shirt sizing and planning poker are fun and provide a rough idea of the effort to get things done, but we can do better than that. Kanban's quantitative management gives us the ability to forecast based on actual performance instead of perceived performance. This webinar topic is a small portion of what I will cover on my conference keynote entitled "Enterprise and business maturity through value-added quantification" Presenter: Masa K Maeda Masa K Maeda is one of the most esteemed and globally renowned experts on Lean-Agile transformation. He carries a global consulting experience of over 26 years, and has worked to transform and bring value to organizations all over the globe, including: fortune 500 companies, Silicon Valley startups and businesses of all shapes and sizes.
