Col. Boyd first gained notoriety as “ Forty Second Boyd” as he trained jet fighter jocks at the end and after the Korean conflict. He would put the trainee aircraft behind him and could reverse the alignment in less than a minute. Out of this capacity to reverse the fighting position of our pilots in combat, while working on a PhD in physics, he developed his theory of “fast transits” maneuvering. Boyd was remarkably perceptive about the interrelationships within and between “structures” whether human, aircraft, military forces, or business organizations. From Boyd, I gained two inferences that I used. One is that “We are all in transition. Everyone of us. All the time.” The other is that once it is clear that a change is necessary, make the change, don’t look back because the process of transition will present the next change sooner than expected. In a sense it is like turning the OODA loop inward as a process of self-development. Thank you for featuring Col. Boyd in this post. He is one great unheralded minds of our time.
I'm assembling a an analysis of the necessary conditions for any agile technique framework. I like the fitness for agile concept. we just had a brilliant war fighter analysis on our product on these lines. analogies included video games. and yes, this might be outside the agile box; but it shouldn't be. it's time to move beyond the One Trick Pony approach. I'm using yes, and ... it even works for waterfall and agile. I had a dim awareness of this; but didn't really see how mixed the cultures and fitness for agile is until I experienced the complexity of government agile. where we can acknowledge the train wreck ahead and pull out the powerpoint with detailed instructions on how to drive us to the cliff. I'll link to this blog when I post the results of my analysis. (and no, this is not another assessment framework, we've had enough of those. These are the necessary conditions for agility. Agile Method/Framework Relative Bias Bias Examples Psychological Conditions Social Conditions Structural Conditions Systemic Conditions Technological Conditions Environmental Conditions Cultural Conditions (Laloux Model). I'll extend the analysis to practices techniques and finally technologies and busienss models. I'm looking at a holistic approach. thinking like functional medicine. and that works quite well, what did the agile transformation guru say to the CEO? Take two training sessions and call me the next day. ... One trick pony? cynefin? ... oh, that's another necessary condition....
