…and still NO clue about HR :-)
WHY AGILE?
We need to find an answer to constantly changing requirements
and big disruptions in a fast-paced world
that gets more and more complex
Agile is probably not the ultimate answer - but the best we have found so far
Agile provides… - mindset (values and principles) - best practices, tools and theories for complex environments
MINDSET Agile Values and Principles: - Trust - Collaboration - Feedback - Transparency - Openness - Commitment - Respect - Focus - Courage
MINDSET
Dan Pink’s “Autonomy, Mastery, Purpose”
THEORY Complexity Theory e.g. Dave Snowden’s Cynefin Model
THEORY
TOOLS - Retrospectives - Stand-up meetings - Iterative approaches (“Sprints”) - Testing (“A/B-Testing”) - Collaborative, interdisciplinary problem-
solving approaches (“Open Space”)

CHALLENGES - No good alternatives for classical “career-
path” yet - Contemporary HR is biased (“Those who care
are the those who kill”) => Role Conflict
- What is the value HR can add? Still needed?
