June workshop
Plenty of reasons to put this one first: It’s less than 3 weeks away, there’s a 10% discount on offer, and it’s my first public workshop in quite a while:
Academy update
For Agendashift Academy subscribers, the fifth and final chapter of Inside-out strategy: Fit for maximum impact was released last Friday and already we’ve issued the first certificate of completion for this self-paced training.
Currently live:
- Leading with Outcomes: Foundation (do this one first)
- Inside-out Strategy: Fit for maximum impact
In production, chapter 1 due for release in June, announcement to follow:
- Outside-in Strategy: Positioned for success
In development:
- Adaptive Organisation: Business agility at every scale
Not only are we on track for releasing the whole of the planned Leading with Outcomes curriculum this year, we have plans for some ‘bitesize’ content that we’ll be able to drip out on a weekly basis.
A reminder of our intended audience:
- Leaders in transforming organisations – at whatever level of experience and in whatever role
- Those that aspire to that – whether that’s aspiring to leadership or to be a leader in an organisation that’s transforming healthily
- Those who support the above
Check out our subscription plans for both businesses and individuals; both have monthly and yearly options. And talk to us if you might be interested in the trainer or facilitator programmes which we’ll be announcing soon.
A fight worth fighting
As featured on the Agendashift and Agendashift Academy homepages, the three strategies thing is brewing nicely. Don’t worry if you don’t know what that means – all is explained in my latest article on InfoQ:
That’s pretty definitive, well worth the read if you want to understand where Agendashift is right now. And inspired by my current reading (Bateson):
Read both and the connection between the two will be obvious enough. The punchline to the second one:
In the methods & frameworks world, I believe there is only one fight worth fighting, and it is not between frameworks. It is between those who would fit people and organisations to frameworks (branded or otherwise), and those who find that idea intolerable.
New podcast interview
Last month’s roundup went out early, and it missed a podcast interview that went out on the 30th. It was with Shahin Sheidaei of the Elevate Change podcast, and you can find it here and on the usual podcast platforms:
