Agile teams in software development
They had solved a fundamental management problem:
how to combine continuous innovation
with disciplined execution.
This will be huge!

Agile ideas have a long history
• Genghis Khan: units of 10 (1200’s)
• Helmut von Moltke (1860s)
• Lockheed Martin skunkworks (1940s)
• Peter Drucker (1954 onward)
• Taiichi Ohno (Toyota 1950’s)

Why did Agile take off in software?
Software development was the first to encounter:
• The shift in power in the marketplace from seller to buyer
• Unimaginable complexity • The accelerating pace of change
They had to find a solution
Billions were being
wasted!!

General managers still in denial
“Agile is just for small teams in software development, not for big, serious firms.”
—speakers at the Drucker Forum

What I heard at the Drucker Forum 2014
• “Agile is only for software”
• “Agile doesn’t scale”
• “Agile can’t handle complexity”
• “Agile isn’t reliable”
• “Agile doesn’t last”

Findings of the Learning Consortium 2015:
• “Agile is only for software”
• “Agile doesn’t scale”
• “Agile can’t handle complexity”
• “Agile isn’t reliable”
• “Agile doesn’t endure”
Agile is spreading to everything
Agile scales without sclerosis
Agile handles complexity
Agile can be fail-safe
Some examples: 10-15 years

• Agile organizations embrace a common mindset
not a technology
not a process
not a methodology
not a system
not an organizational structure
• They demonstrate strong inspirational leadership
• Big old firms have been able to change.

1. Teams (and firms) tend to focus on existing customers
• Product owners (almost by definition) focus on existing products and existing customers
2. Teams (and firms) hesitate to eliminate features
3. Teams (and firms) miss what the competition is doing
4. Cannibalizing profitable products is hard: e.g. iPhone vs iPod
5. Strategic Agility may require substantial investment
Operational Agile rarely leads to market-creating innovations
