Sustaining Organizational Change Through Invitational Agile Coaching

Becoming an Agile Coach requires dedication, constant thirst for knowledge, and quality sources of information from trustworthy Agilists. The ‘Enterprise Agile Coaching’ book offers just that and much more.

When an Agile coach leaves an organization, the changes developed during their tenure should not roll backward. Compliance is somewhat easy to install and takes hold rather quickly. The challenge with that approach is that when the forcing mechanism (Agile coach) is removed, much of the compliance rolls back to the original position. Organizational coaching is a fascinating area to dig into and get amazing results. We would like to see the changes stick, as we do believe that the changes are for the good. However, installed in a command-and-control way (even through supposedly methods of agile coaching) they will wither and die eventually.

Sustainable change requires a different strategy. This book introduces the concept of utilizing an Invitational Approach to Enterprise Agile Coaching which can be a crucial catalyst for integrating sustainable change by putting the client in the seat of responsibility.

Becoming an Agile Coach requires dedication, constant thirst for knowledge, and quality sources of information from trustworthy Agilists. The Enterprise Agile Coaching book offers just that and much more.

The practical examples and simple approach to explaining agile coaching is what makes this book the best book out there for those who want to learn more about coaching an enterprise and raise their skills to the next level.

I only wish I had this book years ago.

We are hired to give our clients solutions that work, not to ask endless questions! I hear this emotional expression and its endless variations from a lot of agile coaches, including those at the top of the food chain of the agile world.Fair enough, there’s a rhyme and reason to that view. And it is a deeply flawed one. Here is why.

Scaling Coaching Through Systems Thinking

Scaling is often frowned upon in the Agile world. Scaling coaching from individuals to teams and to organizations is the only way to bring the systemic change to bigger and wider systems and we believe that scaling coaching through systems thinking is the way to go.

Shu Ha Ri Of Professional Coaching

Shu-Ha-Ri has been a frequent topic within Agile communities for years to capture the essence, the progress of the agile journey we embark on as we grow and learn better ways of working. Many Agile leaders have written about Shu-Ha-Ri, from Martin Fowler to Alistair Cockburn both creators of the Agile Manifesto. But what is it, and why does it matter?

I have seen many coaches join the agile community over the years but have yet to see a group of authors come together with the breadth and depth of those in this book to use it as an ode to aspiring Enterprise Agile Coaches. It is a testament to practical ways to demonstrate the intersection of coaching competencies and ethics with the Agile value and principles. It is a good reference book for any current or aspiring coach. Every so often, a book stands out in our industry as a go-to for a particular topic. This book has done that for Enterprise Coaching.
