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 conscious leaders, who create a conscious organization.

TEAM AGILITY

This is the space where Agile, Lean and SCRUM were designed to function. Once teams have grown through Agile and hit a plateau, they need to turn to RA to grow.

BUSINESS AGILITY

Learn how to sense and transcend the fatal flaws baked in attempts to scale Agile, such as SAFe, LeSS and Scrum of Scrums.

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 conscious leaders is the sum of the rate 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 requisite agility. They will share practical ways to apply 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 agile thinking. How to scale agility based on what is requisite for each function, team and level.

Sensing and Shaping Transitions

Transforming how you think in order to see and seize unimagined opportunities and how to surface the blind-spots and unconscious biases that result in 70 – 80% failure of change initiatives.

Applying Reflective Action

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 collective intelligence, and drive innovation through the white space in the organization.

Being Transdisciplinary

How to transcend 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 Servant Leadership in ways that go beyond mimicking predetermined behaviors.How to cultivate an authentic, productive culture.

What is Requisite Agility (RA)?

  • The term requisite derives from the Sanskrit term Ṛta which means “Right Action”.
  • Requisite is doing what is absolutely “required” without excess cost, time, energy or thought.
  • Requisite is the mission. The True North. The reason for being. In tune with customer, and stakeholder needs and requirements.
  • 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 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.
  • Agilty is a capacity that applies to every level 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 “requisite” or required in each unique area.

Cogitandi Mea Intentio Est, Ergo Sum - which means, my thinking has intention, therefore I am. Bold move to try to improve on Descartes... Whether you are an SME or a global leader, we cannot react to the current complexities of 2021 without increasing our capacity to think in the moment. Navigating perpetual, pervasive and exponential change is the true test of effective leadership, and we can achieve this by growing our Dynamic Intelligence. Leaders, teams and organisations that are able to adapt to this change will flourish. Together, we can grow our thinking to adapt to the challenges ahead.

I am currently working on the application of natural sciences to social systems through the development of a range of methods and the SenseMaker® software suite. I started work in an NGO post University and then moved onto HR & Training in the late 70s when I started work with computers. That together with a diploma from The Certified Accountants got me a job as Development Accountant in the same firm where I headed up the Treasury function and was responsible for computerisation. An MBA in financial management saw me move into consultancy and software designing decision support systems in what became Data Sciences where I became a General Manager (creating MURCO) and the Corporate Business Development Manager where I created the Genus Programme (an integration of JAD/RAD, Object Orientation and Legacy Management) which was one of the main components in the turn around of that company. IBM acquired the company 1997 and after than my more public career started.
