What's Your Change Intelligence (CQ)? | Barbara Jun 05, 2017

Show notes

Change Intelligence (CQ) is evidenced by how people approach change. It's also the title of Barbara Trautlein's book and cultivating it in others is her life's work. Barbara offers an easy-to-use paradigm for determining whether a person uses their heart, head or hands to effect change, and she identifies the strengths and weakness of each approach. Change agents who lead from the heart connect with people more readily but may have difficulty challenging others to surpass themselves. Change agents who lead from the head are visionaries, strategists with brilliant ideas but may lack the ability to tactically enact change. Finally, change agents who lead from the hands who can quickly come up with the, tactics, tools and process, but this can frequently become an obstacle where leading from the heart or head would be better. Barbara also shares how resistance in an organization may be less about people resisting change and more about how leaders are leading. "What looks like resistance in others is information that a change leader can use" to determine whether they need to engage more of their heart (e.g., by building trust), their heads (e.g., by clarifying the vision) or their hands (e.g., by removing obstacles or providing tools/training).SolutionsIQ's Kat Conner hosts at Change Management 2017 in New Orleans, Louisiana.About Agile AmpedThe Agile Amped podcast series brings Agile news and events to life.

Too often, companies are too attached to their business model, which "will destroy you." Lisa makes a compelling comparison between Blockbuster's attachment to its retail model and Netflix's dedication to bringing great entertainment to customers.As a bonus, Lisa touches on how "the ability to attract top talent has become [a market] differentiator" for businesses today.SolutionsIQ's Evan Campbell hosts at Change Management 2017 in New Orleans, Louisiana.About Agile AmpedThe Agile Amped podcast series brings Agile news and events to life.

Show notes

Maria Widström is a change management consultant from Stockholm, Sweden, who has been an active member of the Association of Change Management Professionals (ACMP) for five years. Recently she has been working on an outreach and volunteer program. Maria was excited to participate in a global Change Management conference a few years ago but decided it was time to create an ACMP chapter in Sweden. Today the group has 60 members. While focusing on local change management opportunities and needs, Maria and the Sweden ACMP Chapter appreciate how connected the global community is and how improvements and innovations in one region can spawn the same all over the world because "people are people." Maria adds, "We are living in a world with an increasing amount of change" so everyone needs to be more intelligent about how they approach it in organizations of all types.Want to get involved?

Adult Cognitive Development and the Agile Mindset with William Rowden Apr 24, 2017

Show notes

The science of Adult Cognitive Development has been around for quite some time, but William Rowden maps that science to the Agile Mindset and an Agile Transformation. His insights are fascinating and help him identify behaviors that are not aligned with an Agile mindset, and how to help his clients move in the correct development direction. William is speaking not from theory, but from practical application within clients in the US, China and Mexico.

Below, is the graphic (based on Robert Kegan's work) that William uses to illustrate the cognitive developmental stages and how it aligns to Agile transformation.

Definition of Done with Lance Kind Apr 06, 2017

Show notes

The Definition of Done is one of the higher searched glosary terms on the SolutionsIQ site, so we decided to take a few moments and talk InDepth. Lance Kind spends some time helping us understand the origin of the term, why it's important. He als ogives a new scrum team some tips on what kind of items would be in ( or not in) a typical definition of done. He uses the analogy of "washing you hands" to help us understand how things we believe to mean one thing, might mean another.
