This talk is inspired by the BOSSA nova book from Jutta Eckstein and John Buck on company-wide agility, based on Beyond Budgeting, Open Space, Sociocracy and Agile.

This workshop gives a short introduction to BOSSA nova, but is mainly very interactive, supported by Liberating Structures. It helps the participants to identify and refine their biggest challenges in the agile transformation in their organization and provides a structure in which they can create and improve an experiment that they can start with when back in office.

Target Audience: Agile Coaches, Scrum Masters, Leaders, Managers
Prerequisites: None
Level: Advanced

Extended Abstract:
In the VUCA world that we are in, companies are expected to be flexible and both rapidly responsive and resilient to change, which basically asks them to be agile.

But, the agile toolbox is not enough to cover all aspects that create a true agile organization.

We do a brief overview of the additional principles and practices of Beyond Budgeting, Open Space and Sociocracy that Jutta Eckstein and John Buck added to Agile in their book BOSSA nova on company-wide agility. What is it, why is it needed and how it does fit in.

Participants will be engaged and supported to identify their biggest impediments in their agile transformation. From there participants will learn how to cope with these impediments by setting up an experiment to validate a small change, inspired by the BOSSA nova toolbox.

Participants will help each other to refine and improve their safe to fail experiment that they can start running when back in office.
