The Evolution of Digital Credentials
It’s been 18 months since we launched our digital credential program. While certifications in the agile and change communities continue to be as popular as the backlash against them, here’s the original reasons we decided to choose digital credentials over a traditional certification model:
knowledge mattered much more before the internet made it free, and all certifications granted after two days, or even a week, are knowledge-based certifying people after two days set an expectation of...December 2, 2019
Creating Certainty in an Uncertain World
The year was 1972, and Southwest Airlines was fresh off a $1.6M loss. As a result, they sold 1 of their four planes and needed to serve a 4-plane passenger docket with only three planes. Bill Franklyn, VP of Ground Operations, was tasked with finding a solution.
The solution? The infamous 10-minute turnaround. The next year Southwest posted a profit and has done so every year since then.

Change and Agile Leadership
We live in the Maker Age. Some are calling this the 4th industrial revolution, others call it the creative age, and some laggards are still clinging to the knowledge age moniker.

Making Time for Change
We’re almost a month into the New Year which means 80% of people have abandoned their resolutions. In this Inc.com article, the two main reasons include being unreasonable about your resolution, and the word resolution itself.

Change Management: A Look Back at 2018
This year marks my 3rd State of Change Management blog post. I guess that’s simply a fancy way to say “here’s my WAG (wild-ass guess) for how change management will change this year”
If you are interested, my 2017 post is here, and my 2016 post is here.
This year will be a little different. Instead of me guessing, I’ve asked Gilbert Kruidiner to combine his efforts on his Change Demographic survey with what I’ve been doing in order to create something that is for the community, by the communi...
