John Coleman - Are Agile Islands the Best Agile Adoption Technique We Don’t Know About?

Send us a text

John Coleman is a wizened and skills agile leader and practitioner.

So when he started talking to me about "Agile Islands" and "Agile Archipelagos" I wondered if success had gone to his head and it was finally his time to come off the boil.

NOT THE CASE IT SEEMS!

Most of us have heard of agile bubbles made popular by Michael Sahota and the commonly held belief was how do you increase the bubble to consume the entire organisation. What John proposes is something very different and terrifically though provoking.

So in this episode, John shares with us his approach to getting organisational agility, just not in the way that many of us had tried and failed to do in the past, by provoking us to ponder:

🏝️ Can forming a culture bubble of agility be an evolutionary approach?
🏝️ Should we start slowly? Expand carefully? Improve carefully? Or just go hell for leather?
🏝️Are the pathways to organizational agility numerous?
🏝️ Should we opt for evolution or revolution?
