Über uns
The world is changing faster than ever before and Sustainable Outcomes are often neglected. Resiliency demands that you know more and adapt quickly.
Organizations of every size are struggling to remain relevant in the eyes of their customers and society. Customers are more informed, responsible for their future and their expectations are higher than they’ve ever been. Employees demand more clarity, empowerment, and meaning in their work. It is only high-performing, adaptable, and agile organizations who will thrive in this unpredictable market. We call this Sustainable Business Agility.
At its simplest, Sustainable Business Agility is the capacity and willingness of an organization to adapt to, create, leverage, and sustain change for their customer’s benefit. This simple statement exposes the dramatic shift in mindset needed for agile organizations. Where how you respond to the market is reliably more predictable than how the market responds to you.
Our Meetup will start with ONLINE events aiming at interactive talks, lean coffee, fish-bowls and other formats based on context.
Topics in the near future may include: Agile Strategy, Agile HR, Leadership Agility, De-Scaling, Scaling, Agile Procurement, Finance, Legal, Regulation together with R&D, Business, and IT

Alles ansehen- Mike Burrows: Introducing the Deliberately Adaptive OrganisationLink für Teilnehmer sichtbar
The Deliberately Adaptive Organisation is the model at the heart of Mike’s new book Wholehearted: Engaging with Complexity in the Deliberately Adaptive Organisation, a fresh, complexity-aware, and ground-up reconstruction of Stafford Beer’s Viable System Model (VSM). The diagnostic power of this classic organisational model remains unrivalled, and to it we bring a truly 21st century approach. We work with rather than against the grain of two key realities: that everyone’s experience of the organisation is different, and that they see different possibilities emerging for it. What’s at stake: how you think about organisations, and how you engage with their challenges.

Markus poses that the current state of product management has drifted from its creative roots to become increasingly administrative and process-driven. After 30 years of experience in the field, this gap between what practitioners expected and what the role has become creates what I call the "PM Existence Shock."
True product management is about seeing what others don't see and making it real. Everything else should serve this purpose, not the other way around. Six core competencies truly matter: customer immersion, design thinking, creative leadership, data literacy, strategic vision, and orchestration. But the role has been floated with all kinds of process expectations, watering it down and making it a trap.
Concepts like "the excellence trap" and "extreme thinking" offer a philosophical yet practical approach to reclaiming product management as a maker discipline. Shifting your perspective can change outcomes, even within organizational constraints, and having the courage to reject good ideas in favor of great ones is essential.
The path forward balances creativity with pragmatism, challenges the status quo without risking your position, and focuses on finding your unique PM superpower in a world of standardization
About our speaker:
Markus Andrezak
Markus is a Leading Product Strategist driving innovation and growth at überproduct. Consequently driving the development of products and services from a core purpose of a company and a deep understanding of users needs. This can only be achieved w/ the right mindset and culture, but also by being real close to the client. While all this sounds like a truism, I bring w/ me the needed boneheadedness and methodological toolset to really stand for this and make the point in a real company.About our hosts:

Join us as we explore the critical challenge faced by many senior developers transitioning into leadership roles: how to motivate and inspire a team effectively. Promoted to team leads or project managers, you suddenly find yourself responsible for leading other human beings without the proper education, coaching, or mandate. You are educated and have built your career on understanding and dealing with computers. Now, a more complex challenge arises: motivating human beings! As you grapple with this challenge, we'll explore how mastering the balance between managing tasks and understanding people can enable you to lead your team with confidence and effectiveness.

*** we had to re-schedule, please double check your calendar ***
Learn and Apply the 4 Forces of JTBD in a Sample Interview
With a 15-minute mock interview, this workshop focuses on decoding the Four Forces of Progress (push, pull, anxieties, habits), which is one of the three models used in Jobs to be Done (JTBD). It explains what motivates customers to switch products and services, or what is holding them back. By observing the interview, attendees learn to map the four forces so they can apply this model to understand customer outcomes. The session emphasizes shifting from feature-driven approaches to how to help customer seeking to make a positive change (progress).
