Speaking in Central Europe

This comes to you today from Central Europe where I have just finished speaking at a company-internal conference. One Agendashift-related talk tweaked for the occasion, and another on DevOps written specially (which I hope to use again). It seems a good time to mention that I enjoy speaking at a wide variety of events both public and private – not just (Lean-)Agile conferences – and it’s always nice to be invited 🙂 Thank you Helen Beal and Steve Green at Ranger4 for setting this up.

On that note…

Coming to America

Next week I’m in the US, doing an evening meetup, a lunch & learn, a conference (TriAgile), and a Agendashift workshop, the last of those in association with the conference but not restricted to conference attendees. More info on all of those here. And a big thank you to my host, Kert Peterson.

Out soon in print

A sneak preview of something I’ll announce separately soon: the Agendashift book will soon be out in print – not just revised (for the 7th and final time) but with the addition a cool foreword. I’ll keep the identity of the foreword’s writer a surprise, but here are a couple of clues:

• “An impressive piece of culture technology”
• “Part framework and part engagement model, Agendashift is a rich composition of culture technology tools, a composition that forms a complete system.”

If you’d like to be notified of when this new version becomes available, ping me. Be aware that the existing e-book will be withdrawn from Leanpub as soon as the new versions are available for pre-order (on most major channels I’m told).
