Business Agility needs to address the company’s structure, strategy, and processes, all of which depend upon and influence each other. This insight means the simple view that structure follows process follows strategy is wrong; in fact, everything follows everything and in repeated small steps. Thus, the relationship between strategy, structure, and process is complex. The patterns in the relationship can’t be pinned down logically or, in other words, there is no logical entry point. The BOSSA nova approach recommends using probes to make these emergent patterns more visible and to leverage this complexity. BOSSA nova synthesizes (B)eyond Budgeting, (O)pen (S)pace, (S)ociocracy, and (A)gile. This presentation provides examples of probing your perspectives on the organigram.

How Beyond Budgeting, Open Space & Sociocracy
enable Company-wide Agility

@JuttaEckstein | agilebossanova.org5
Beyond Budgeting
◼ Beyond command & control
– Toward a management model that is more empowered and
adaptive
◼ Separate the 3 budget purposes
– Targets
– Forecast
– Resource allocation
→ Relative
→ Rolling
→ Dynamic

@JuttaEckstein | agilebossanova.org6
Open Space
◼ Open Space principles for implementing an innovation
strategy based on:
– Open invitation
– Self-organization through empowerment
– Passion bound by responsibility
– Self-responsiblity for learning & helping others learn

@JuttaEckstein | agilebossanova.org7
Sociocracy
◼ Equivalence
– Shared decision-making by consent
– Feedback embedded in the structure: double linking

@JuttaEckstein | agilebossanova.org8
Agile
◼ Continuous learning through feedback:
– Rapidly, regularly, and frequently
– On needs, product, technology, process, quality, …

@JuttaEckstein | agilebossanova.org1010
Is Trust Cheaper?

@JuttaEckstein | agilebossanova.org18
Is Trust Cheaper?
◼ Background:
– Traditional travel expense procedures are burdensome and
assume people can’t be trusted.
◼ Hypothesis:
– Such procedures cost more than they save and are
demoralizing.
◼ Experiment:
– Pre-survey and audit. Try for three months in a few units
with other units as controls. Post-survey and audit.

Today companies are expected to be flexible and both rapidly responsive and resilient to change, which basically asks them to be Agile. Yet, doing Agile (the mechanics) is different from being Agile (the mindset). The mindset lets you apply flexible Agile patterns not only for software development teams but for the whole company. Yet implementing company-wide Agility isn't straight forward, it asks for combining principles from Beyond Budgeting (adaptive budgeting), Open Space (leveraging the power of innovation from all employees), Sociocracy (flexible organizational structure that allows decentralized decision-making), and Agile (continuous learning via experiments and feedback). This combination provides company-wide agility.

Agile beyond IT and beyond just doing it, but rather being it requires experimenting continuously in order to learn continuously. Thus more important than failing fast is learning fast. In this workshop we will learn what learning fast means for every individual and the organization as a whole and we will define experiments for you to use in your company for becoming agile truly. This will allow you to create an environment for continuous innovations, an environment where everyone is an entrepreneur! In this workshop we will also make use of examples that make: - the organizational structure (hierarchy?) more agile - the organizational processes faster so that they enable innovation - the organizational strategy better aligned with current needs so that your organization is able to drive the market instead of being driven by the market.

The volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (short VUCA) world we currently live in asks for company-wide agility. Yet, agility in the literal sense that means companies need to be adaptive, responsive, fast, and nimble. Thus, although already created in the 90ies, the original idea of a learning organization, that is a company that facilitates the learning of its members and continuously transforms itself, is more relevant than ever. Yet, how can such a learning organization come to life? BOSSA nova is one approach to company-wide agility by synthesizing Beyond Budgeting, Open Space, Sociocracy & Agility. The key to its success are so-called probes – small, safe-to-fail experiments based on hypotheses derived from reflection on the current situation as well as on theory. In this session, Jutta will share various probes implemented by different companies that can guide the probing in your company to establish a learning organization.

Often in agile working environments, people aim for failing fast. Yet failure is not the goal - learning is. Failure can lead to learning and so can other approaches. It can lead beyond continuous improvement to transformative learning: seeing your situation from a whole new framework in a way that lets you learn by leaps of insight. In this workshop we present specific ways to probe, using hypothesis, and experiments will help you and your team to learn fast. This approach provides a way to get into the mindset of learning and thus always developing. Usually a failure is to do nothing… or to do anything (blindly). The key even for big issues is to make small bets (hypothesis) and learn through experiments what's the impact. So, gain insights by (in)validating the bet. In summary it's about thinking big but acting small (and safely). Note, that every great idea, every innovation is at first a guess or rather a hypothesis and only experiments allow us to find out if our idea is really as great as we thought at first.

Agile Transition in Trouble? Using the Kotter Change Model as a Diagnostic Tool

“Measuring from above” traditionally means measuring against a standard set in the past - against a set of assumptions based on customer research. The unstated assumption is that the customer data will be valid for at least some period of time in the future. OKRs and KPIs then give feedBACK against targets set based on management’s picture of what customers want. What is needed in our VUCA world, however, is feedFORWARD. That is, we must build a model of what customers will want in the future and act now against that model. Too often innovative people in medium to large organizations have the feeling of being in a box - with startling new ideas - and no one really listens. In essence, these innovators are trying to “measure performance upwards.” This upward voice intrinsically measures strategies and customer impact, and applying the concept can significantly improve the overall performance without relying on top-down OKRs and KPIs. Moreover, “measuring from above,” tends to measure only the output of production. However, in the VUCA world, we’re living in right now, measuring the output of production is not enough for companies that need to survive and thrive on disruption. Although OKRs and KPIs have served the business world well in the past, in the future, companies need to focus on the truly important outcome: what is really making a difference for our customers and therefore for our company. However, in a VUCA world, we cannot assume any sort of stability - the model of the future must change often if it is to be sensitive to changing conditions. The “view from below” is very likely to be more attuned to such changes than the view from the top, which necessarily operates at a more abstract, longer-term level. Without measurement from below, the measurement from the top is likely to become “old-fashioned” very quickly. Adding “measurement from below” to a company can create a mindset that empowers everyone to follow their passion and interest and nourish the company’s effectiveness. Implementing a “from below” approach to measurement involves a fundamental shift that asks the company to synthesize a variety of new approaches.

There are many suggestions dealing with Agile-friendly performance appraisals, which promise to rely on trust, honesty, respect, safety, and servant leadership. The Agile Manifesto does not address performance appraisal although it does generally mention regular and frequent feedback, which can also be applied to performance evaluation. Two related methods, Beyond Budgeting and Sociocracy, offer interesting approaches to agile performance review. In this session we want to present these two different performance appraisal approaches, how they're are supported by the values of BOSSA nova (short for Beyond Budgeting, Open Space, Sociocracy & Agile) and want to invite the participants of this workshop to discuss the synthesis of the two approaches. This session looks at several real-world examples from actual companies including Accenture, Equinor, and Google. The first principle of Beyond Budgeting asks to “engage and inspire people around bold and noble causes; not around short-term financial targets,” the eleventh principle advocates: “Evaluate performance holistically and with peer feedback for learning and development; not based on measurement only and not for rewards only.” Thus, the main strategy of Beyond Budgeting is to separate (financial) bonuses from performance evaluation and to use relative and not fixed targets as a foundation for the evaluation. Sociocracy suggests holding 360 degree in-person meetings. The person being reviewed should request it when needed, not just on a rigid annual basis, and perhaps not just once in the year. In the 360 degree meeting, the organization itself can be critiqued in the review - “the way we organize is causing performance problems.” Similar to Beyond Budgeting there is a focus on the vision and mission of the specific department as well as the overall company as a source of inspiration and motivation. The output of the performance review meeting should be a development plan that the immediate group of supervision, peers, and subordinates consent to. Based on BOSSA nova, we invite participants to dive into what Beyond Budgeting and Sociocracy combined offer for performance appraisals. Participants will take away insights that they can use in their organizations.

Using Beyond Budgeting and Sociocracy for agile-friendly performance appraisals

The pandemic is a stark example of the volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (short VUCA) world we currently live in and this world asks for company-wide agility. By synthesizing Beyond Budgeting, Open Space, Sociocracy & Agility, BOSSA nova is one approach to company-wide agility. Yet it is often unclear, where and how to start implementing this approach. As pointed out by the so-called Fearless Change Patterns, it doesn’t help to wait for the perfect moment when you have the resources and knowledge you think you need; instead, take the first baby step and start learning. Thus, for living in the VUCA world an open mindset to learning is essential that can be approached by the concept called probes – small, safe-to-fail experiments based on hypotheses derived from reflection on the current situation as well as on theory. In this session, I will share both the concept and some examples of probes implemented by different companies that can guide the probing in your company to establish a learning organization.

An ever greater emphasis is being put upon the need for academic research to make an impact in the real world, whether that be supporting teaching; helping organizations to be better managed; influencing public bodies and policymakers; contributing to economic development; or benefitting society and the environment. While citations are the established measure of academic influence, and downloads and altmetrics can be seen as measures of ‘attention;’ funders and institutions are now looking for evidence of measurable change. This presentation explores how the academy and industry view the impact of academic output, will explore evidence of theory being applied in practice, and look at how pathways to impact are achieved.
