Agendashift revision 4
As promised on Friday, revision 4 of the Agendashift book is now out. The same book, but with some polish:
An intro that’s much more explicit about what it’s all about, a much clearer distinction between delivery and transformation frameworks, and identifying up front Agendashift’s main elements (its activity flow , its Lean-Agile True North , the assessments , and the change leadership principles )
The poster , seen in full in the intro and excerpted at the top of each chapter
Summaries of key points at the end of each chapter
In chapter 1, Discovery, references to Remember the Future (www.innovationgames.com) and The Future, Backwards cognitive-edge.com)
In chapter 2, Exploration, calling out more clearly the flows into later chapters
In chapter 3, Mapping, more about the orthogonality (without using that word) of the ‘spine’ or ‘narrative arc’ of the map and priorities (see last week’s quick LinkedIn update / tweet for a taste)
In chapter 4, Elaboration, a reference to Solutions Focus
Moreover, all mentions of a part II have been removed – it stands alone as a 5-chapter book, running to about 150 pages in the PDF version (not a minibook, but still digestible).
This revision owes much to the comments of Steven Mackenzie, Allan Kelly, and Dieter Strasser and I’m very grateful to the three of them. I don’t mind admitting that I’m very pleased with it and I really don’t anticipate making significant further changes.
If you have bought the e-book already, you will receive notification from Leanpub that there is new version to download. If you don’t yet own a copy, get yours here:
Agendashift: clean conversations, coherent collaboration, continuous transformation
There are PDF, EPUB and MOBI formats available. For iOS devices (iPad and iPhone) I would recommend EPUB for viewing in iBooks in preference to MOBI for Kindle –for reasons still not fully understood the formatting is noticeably better in the former.
