Radical Management - Innovative Practices at the work place
This talk draws extensively from the book "The Leader's Guide to Radical Management" by Stephen Denning. This presention talks about the problems faced in Traditional Management with respect to its purpose, how work is structured and organized, transparency and communication.
It then describes the 5 big shifts in the way we work - by delighting clients, changing role of the manager from a controller to enabler, how work is coordinated from a bureaucratic method to Dynamic Linking, from a single economic value (making money to shareholders) to a set of values (radical transparency and continuous improvement) and finally the shift from a command and control way of communication to a communication where conversation plays a key role.
A few innovative practices (Menlo Way) as practised by Menlo Innovations will be discussed - with emphasis on certain aspects such as Open workspaces, Extreme Hiring, and Pairing - which has made Menlo a joyful place to work.

Case Study
Intermediate
Due to the business benefits which accrue from Agile, clients are demanding their IT Departments/Partners to adopt Agile. It is quite common to find a situation where the client has adopted Agile, but its Partner/Vendor has not.
This talk is based on my consulting engagement with a client who had adopted Agile and their partner had not, and the client wanted the partner to Adopt Agile.
The talk will cover the critical challenges encountered in getting the partner to adopt Agile, especially given the wide difference in cultures of both organizations and also the organizations being located in different continents. The talk will also cover the key learnings from this journey. -

It is also a study into the organizational culture, behavioral attributes and the people issues and how agile addresses them.
And finally it is a study of why doing a few projects with agile is not sufficient. How complete organizational transformation into agile practices is necessary for long term success for projects, processes and people.
