  1. Gedanken zur Agilität:
    "Boilerplate Code" wird in der Softwareentwicklung repetitiver Code genannt, der wenig eigene Logik mitbringt.

    Ich frage mich, ob wir mit den "Scrum Ceremonies" nicht ziemlich viel organisatorischen "Boilerplate" generieren, und daher bei vielen Betroffenen auch mittlerweile eher Ablehnung auslösen. Was vor 20 Jahren noch notwendig war, was sich heute mit viel breiterem agilen Grundverständnis wirklich obsolet geworden ist. #agile #scrum #agileCoach #Agility

  10. "Don't let your past define your future" - Futurist Jim Carroll

    Futurist Jim Carroll is writing a series, The Art of the Infinite Pivot, based on 36 lessons from his 36 years as a solo entrepreneur, working as a nomadic worker in the global freelance economy. The series is unfolding here, and at pivot.jimcarroll.com.

    In the late 1990s, I was at the top of my game.

    I had written 34 books and was the go-to expert for the "Information Highway." I literally did thousands of interviews with the media - and can still find many of them online. On paper, in print, and in broadcast, I had 'arrived.'

    I did so many interviews that for a long time, I was pegged everywhere I went as 'that Internet guy.' And yet, when the dot.com collapse happened around 2001, many people thought the disruptive impact of the Internet had come to an end.

    So too did my career - the result was that my bread and butter dried up.

    People no longer wanted 'Internet strategy.' They wanted the next big thing, and that 'big thing' was a broader range of trends and disruptive innovation.

    Since I was spending all my time on stages and boardrooms speaking about those issues, albeit with a technology and Internet focus, I decided I would be a "Futurist, Trends & Innovation Expert," a self-anointed title I carry with me to this day. That's when I came to realize that the "Infinite Pivot" isn't a one-time event.

    Why did I shift? By 2002, I realized being "The Internet Guy" was a brand with a shelf life. The world was moving from how to use the web to what the world would look like next. I had to do something uncomfortable: abandon a successful brand to build a significant one.

    At the time, it felt like a massive risk to leave the security of a known niche.
    But by choosing my own title, I was claiming the future. I stopped being defined by the tools I explained (the Internet) and started being defined by the perspective I provided (the future).

    I was NOT letting my past define my future. Just as I refused to let my accountancy career and designation define my technology role. (I'm still, at this moment, a CPA! I just don't talk about it much!)

    And wow, was this pivot a success!

    It took hard work but from about 2005 to this day, I've built an entirely new career with an entirely new brand. And in this is a critical lesson for any organization: you might be the market leader today, but if you allow that success to define your identity forever, you will become a legacy act.

    True agility requires the courage to "self-title" into your next phase before the market forces you to.

    You'll never pivot if you don't take on the risk!

    When I was trying to decide many years ago if I should leave the corporate world and become a freelancer, my fear told me I was trading a "sure thing" for a "wild gamble." My colleagues thought I was leaving a safe harbor for a volatile ocean. Even before that, they were busy hammering home to me that I was making a mistake by abandoning the safe world of accountancy for some unknown career emerging in global connectivity.

    But I also knew that something big was happening, and I wanted to be a part of it. I traded my future security for the opportunity that lay in front of me.

    That taught me a valuable lesson that not only guided me throughout my career, but also became core advice for my corporate clients. And in fact, three decades of advising global leadership teams have taught me a brutal truth: the gamble isn't the pivot; the gamble is staying put.

    As someone who speaks and writes about disruptive trends, I’ve watched far too many "safe" industries dry up and "secure" corporate giants crumble because they were anchored to a past that no longer existed. They refused to take on bold new risks to chase a disruptive opportunity. And in a high-velocity economy, here's what we know: focusing on certainty is the wrong thing to do.

    The fact is, if you are anchored to a static model, you aren't safe.

    You are a stationary target for disruption.

    True security doesn't come from chasing safety; it comes from the agility you build when you choose to navigate change. The wrong path is the one that promises safety because it's often a dead end.

    The right one - the one that involves risk and uncertainty - is the one that usually offers growth.

    Futurist Jim Carroll discovered, over time, that the risk of the infinite pivot was well worth it.

Even before that, they were busy hammering home to me that I was making a mistake by abandoning the safe world of accountancy for some unknown career emerging in global connectivity.

    But I also knew that something big was happening, and I wanted to be a part of it. I traded my future security for the opportunity that lay in front of me.

    That taught me a valuable lesson that not only guided me throughout my career, but also became core advice for my corporate clients. And in fact, three decades of advising global leadership teams have taught me a brutal truth: the gamble isn't the pivot; the gamble is staying put.

    As someone who speaks and writes about disruptive trends, I’ve watched far too many "safe" industries dry up and "secure" corporate giants crumble because they were anchored to a past that no longer existed. They refused to take on bold new risks to chase a disruptive opportunity. And in a high-velocity economy, here's what we know: focusing on certainty is the wrong thing to do.

    The fact is, if you are anchored to a static model, you aren't safe.

    You are a stationary target for disruption.

    True security doesn't come from chasing safety; it comes from the agility you build when you choose to navigate change. The wrong path is the one that promises safety because it's often a dead end.

    The right one - the one that involves risk and uncertainty - is the one that usually offers growth.

    You'll never pivot if you don't take on the risk!

    When I was trying to decide many years ago if I should leave the corporate world and become a freelancer, my fear told me I was trading a "sure thing" for a "wild gamble." My colleagues thought I was leaving a safe harbor for a volatile ocean. Even before that, they were busy hammering home to me that I was making a mistake by abandoning the safe world of accountancy for some unknown career emerging in global connectivity.

    But I also knew that something big was happening, and I wanted to be a part of it. I traded my future security for the opportunity that lay in front of me.

    That taught me a valuable lesson that not only guided me throughout my career, but also became core advice for my corporate clients. And in fact, three decades of advising global leadership teams have taught me a brutal truth: the gamble isn't the pivot; the gamble is staying put.

  30. @[email protected] I am thrilled to announce that I have recently navigated a high-pressure situation that required immediate, decisive action and a complete pivot in my personal resource management. This experience has taught me the importance of agility, rapid response, and the necessity of a fresh start when facing unexpected internal challenges. #GrowthMindset #Agility #Resilience #LessonsLearned
