Imagine walking into a boardroom and telling executives that their transformation strategy has more in common with a casino than a project plan. Most would be horrified. After all, gambling is associated with chance, uncertainty and risk. Agile, on the other hand, is supposed to bring control, predictability and better outcomes.

Because Frameworks Don’t Transform Organisations — People Do “Culture is not an initiative. Culture is the enabler of all initiatives.”— Larry Senn Agile does not fail because people resist change.

The problem with that is that there is no progress on any of the non-urgent things; and collectively, those things add up. In fact, the future of your work depends on them. There is an analogy to a situation in computer science that is called process starvation: it…
