Humans Don't Like Change
I don't know about you but I have always found it ironic working in IT where everything we do is about enabling a business to change, yet our natural skillsets mean that we are often poor change agents. We're good at using our left-brain, analytical, logic-based thinking to analyse, design, deliver and maintain systems and technology, but generally poor at the right-brain, creative, emotion-based thinking required for helping people through the change.
We need to be excellent at helping the business transition through the changes that tech enables. I will explore a range of approaches, sourced from Agile, Lean, Neuroscience, Organisational Development and Change Management practices to give you new tools to become a 'human-centered' change agent.
Outline/Structure of the Presentation
- How we form of ideas and beliefs
- What happens when we experience change
- What Change techniques are out there?
Learning Outcome
- Understand how the human brain reacts to and assimilates change
- Understand how beliefs are formed in humans
- Develop an understanding of several change management techniques
Target Audience
People who are interested in why change sometimes doesn't stick. People who don't think they need to be part of helping humans to change.

Tired of struggling to get approval and buy-in for agile improvement ideas you know are good? Action forms are the answer. Turn every "no" into a "sure, why not?" Using the Cynefin action form will gets your idea across the line.
In this hands-on session we'll use the action form and design safe-to-fail experiments that leaders and teams will feel fine about trying. You'll wonder how you ever got permission to try anything without it.

About Scrum Australia
If you are not familiar with previous Scrum Australia events and what we envisage for the 2023 event, see the Scrum Australia website.
Session formats
- Experience report with Q&A 40 mins
- Interactive presentation 40 mins
- Interactive workshop 40 or 80 mins
Interactive presentation may be primarily a talk with slides or live drawn material. Our hope is that you will include at least a small amount of interaction e.g. anonymous poll, pair discussion.
Open Space sessions do not require submission through this process. Please bring your topics to the Open Space opening circle at the event.
Audience level
You can expect there to be a mix of experience levels at Scrum Australia from people starting out with Scrum and agile to experienced practitioners with many years of experience.
We encourage you to select the most advanced level that you believe would comfortably understand the material in your session from the following options. The assumption is that your session will be accessible to people with less experience than the level advertised.
- Beginner
- Intermediate
- Advanced
Breadth of topics welcome
We welcome topics that are far broader than Scrum and application context beyond software development. The material presented should however be compatible with a Scrum based agile environment and we encourage an explicit description of how participants could apply what they are learning to a Scrum based environment. For example, in a talk about the Kanban method you could spend a minute or two explaining how Kanban could be used within Scrum Sprints or be used as a portfolio wrapper for Scrum.
Tracks
There are four tracks to select from.
- Leadership and Culture
- Practices
- Agile Everywhere
- Product
