Agile Conferences 2020

REQUISITE AGILITY
UNLEASHED CONFERENCE 

It’s time to unleash the Requisite Agility (RA)
of your organization

7th  - 9th December 2021
9:30 am - 4:00 pm daily (US Eastern Time) | Live online

Requisite Agility Moves Us Beyond Agile

RA is doing what is required, based on what your customers and stakeholders need and value.
This conference unleashes the four realms of Requisite Agility.

PERSONAL AGILITY

 

Agility can only be scaled and sustained across the organization through leaders who can sustain balance within an agile organization.

TEAM AGILITY

Learn how to sense and transcend the flaws baked in attempts to scale Agile beyond teams, such as those to be found in SAFe, LeSS and Scrum of Scrums.

BUSINESS AGILITY

SOCIETAL AGILITY

Business and Team Agility can work for a while, but ultimately they will stall and fail unless you and your organization are anticipating and transforming through non-linear market and environmental changes.

The agility of leaders is in sustaining balance between the rates of change in team, business and societal agility. Failure occurs when these four realms of Requisite Agility are kept separate.




The agility of leaders is in sustaining balance between the rates of change in team, business and societal agility. Failure occurs when these four realms of Requisite Agility are kept separate.

The RA Unleashed Conference brings together thought leaders from across the world. They will share their experiences across these four realms of agility. They will share their practices in applying the five first principles of RA. McKinsey studies report that 70% - 80% of transformation change efforts fail. The real rate of failure is likely to be much higher because many do not acknowledge or report failures, for fear of repercussions. How do you ensure you are in the 20% - 30% of successful transformational change?

What to Expect

Scaling Requisite Agility

Learn how to move beyond the constraints of current forms of agile thinking. How to scale agility based on how ‘requisite’ is understood for each function, team and realm.

Sensing and Shaping Transitions

Transforming how you create value in order to see and seize not-yet-imagined opportunities and how to surface the blind-spots and unconscious biases that result in 70 — 80% failure of change initiatives.

Applying Reflective Action

Aligning and Synchronizing the changes that need to be made internally with changes taking place in the environment, with current and future customers.

Tapping Collaborative Intelligence

How to move beyond teamwork and the hidden risks of groupthink, and drive innovation through the white space in the organization.

Being Transdisciplinary

How to question the attachment to existing ways of thinking and burst through the silo's that trap the power of the white space, the hidden potential that exists between groups,.

Transforming Culture through Servant Leadership

Applying Leadership in ways that go beyond mimicking predetermined behaviors in pursuing the creation of value. How to cultivate an authentic, productive culture..

What is Requisite Agility (RA)?

  • The term requisite derives from the relation to practice implied by the Sanskrit term Rta which means "Right Action".
  • Requisite is doing what is absolutely "required" in creating value without excess cost, time, energy or thought.
  • Requisite is the value-creating mission, the reason for being. In tune with customer, and stakeholder needs and requirements.
  • Agility is about being able to work with complexity. Agility is more than just speed.
    It is about pausing to reflect, or even do nothing in order to shift direction and required acceleration.
  • Agility is about being inside time. Agility is more than just speed. It is about pausing to reflect, or even do nothing in order to shift direction and required acceleration.
  • Agility is a capacity that applies to every realm and function. Agility can be scaled. Agile, cannot.

The Importance of Unleashing Requisite Agility

  • Agile works in operational, front-line teams. Agile does not scale and work in other areas because middle management and senior executive work is not the same as a group of programmers in IT.
  • RA enables you to scale Agility across every area of your business, based on what is understood as "requisite" or required in each unique area.

OUR SPEAKERS

The focus is not going to be on consulting jargon, matrix diagrams or products to be sold. Instead, we will share Stories of rolling up our sleeves and envisaging a new future using plain, simple English.
