This episode discusses how having data only without an explanation of why it works often results in people's resistance. The story revolves around Ignaz Semmelweis.
Many Agile coaches complain about management’s lack of wanting to truly understand Agile. This topic is about how to talk to management in a way they will be interested in learning about the value of Agile. The trick is to talk to them from their perspective and to take advantage of what they know and care about.
Many in the Agile community criticize a company’s leadership for not understanding Agile. However, much of this lack of understanding is due to many agilists not talking to them in a manner that executives are interested in. Executives often don’t want to learn Flow, Lean, or the Theory of Constraints. I suggest a better way of communicating the value of Agile is by talking to them about value streams and value stream networks in a...
The prior topics provide us with an understanding of distinctions, the order in which they must be conveyed, and that we must undertake a discovery, not a debate. We can now use these to have a conversation with people who look to be belligerent but are really more open to learning than we might think.

Experts do not always have more experience or intelligence than those who are less competent. I suggest the biggest difference is what they look at and what they ignore. These “distinctions” provide them with insights on how to solve problems. For example, an expert skier will see many types of snow while I will just see dry, powder, wet, and good snowball-making snow.
No consultant or coach ever walks into an organization fresh. Those that came before you have left tracks on the minds of those present. This podcast discusses how to clear the elephant in the room in starting an engagement so you can be in partnership with those you are working with.
A professional Lean-Agile coach is a person who understands how to help teams and organizations improve with the theories of Flow, Lean, and the Theory of Constraints while also understanding the basics of human learning and interaction. Coaches need to play an active role in helping teams improve. ‘Active,’ doesn’t mean they tell people what to do, which is not effective. This is not because people may resist when told to do somet...
