Welcome to 2024! Happy New Year!
2024 has already started of course, and with the valued help of over 20 contributors I iterated several times over the holiday period on this article posted on the blog here yesterday:
- From Flow to Business Agility – your comments/reactions etc on LinkedIn greatly appreciated
Also new is a section on the Agendashift Academy site for facilitated Leading with Outcomes workshops:
- Leading with Outcomes Discovery Workshop
- Leading with Outcomes Assessment Debrief Workshop
- Outside-in Strategy Review Workshop
- Adaptive Organisation Workshop
In the calendar (see Upcoming events below):
- Free monthly webinars (series link) – these recommence Thursday 11th
- Free experience/practice sessions (series link) – recommencing Thursday 25th
- Leading with Outcomes: Train-the-Trainer / Facilitator (TTT/F) – beginning February 6th
Regarding that last one, see Upcoming events below re discounts.
In the pipeline:
- Leading in a Transforming Organisation – at least two of these events in the UK this year and I hope one or two abroad too
- Updates to Obstacles Fast and Slow – the exercise formerly known as Good Obstacle, Bad Obstacle) – also 15-minute FOTO, Featureban, and Changeban
- Two books (my fourth and fifth), working titles:
- Organizing Conversations: Patterns of Dialog for the Transforming Organization
- Wholehearted: Engaging with complexity in the Deliberately Adaptive Organisation
- A new keynote to add to the three recorded here
Most pressing is the re-recording of the Inside-out and Outside-in strategy modules. Like the Adaptive Organisation module, Inside-out will be split into two, likely titles:
- Inside-out Strategy (I): On the same page, with purpose
- Inside-out Strategy (II): Fit for maximum impact (keeping the title of the original one-part module)
Once Inside-out and Outside-in are on the new learning management system there will be significant opportunity for rationalisation. If you’re not already on board there, check these out:
- Leading with Outcomes: Foundation
- Adaptive Organisation, two parts:
Or get in touch about holding a Leading in a Transforming Organisation training workshop near you; this covers Foundation and Adaptive Organisation, with all the benefits of an in-person experience, and some unique features too. I’m not asking anyone to take responsibility for the event (though that can be arranged); just your interest would be good to know.
