The latest on the book and related Agendashift resources
I’ve done a final revision on the Leanpub edition of the book in preparation for print publication in April. The most substantial changes are to the final chapter (more on this in “Inverting the pyramid” below), also:
A more digestible title: Agendashift: Outcome-oriented change and continuous transformation
The poster (downloadable) has been updated with feedback from Agendashift partner Stev en Mackenzie
The cue cards (also downloadable) for our Clean Language-inspired coaching game 15-minute FOTO have been updated to ease the start of each conversation and to give greater emphasis to the most important questions
As per the announcement , the True North and principles are now Creative Commons. I’m finding it very handy to have memorable URLs for these and I’ve used the images in the book.
If you’re a registered user of any of these resources you’ll be contacted in the next few days with the download link for the new versions. If you don’t have them or you can’t wait that long, get in touch.
Director of Continuous Transformation
Over in the Agendashift Slack we’ve had some fun over the past few days discussing ideal job titles in the #coaching channel. As it happens, I have sufficient capacity now to declare for real that I’d love the title “Director of Continuous Transformation (part-time)”. If I could help bolster your leadership team or internal coaching team on a part-time basis, let’s talk. Will travel (within reason).
Workshops
It’s the Leeds Advanced workshop next week and there are a couple of places left if you’re quick. Workshops in the US and Germany (April and May) are yet to be listed – please contact (respectively) partners Kert Peterson or Mike Leber about those; after that it’s Cardiff in late May.

As ever, shout if you would like a public or private workshop somewhere near you, and there are more events listed in our events calendar.
Inverting the pyramid
Chapter 5 has gained a new figure:
[image error]The inverted pyramid, Agendashift-style
All is revealed in yesterday’s blog post Inverting the pyramid, start-with-what-you-do-now style. Also, I’ll be speaking on this topic at London Lean Kanban Days 2018 (23-24 April) – see you there!

Inverting the pyramid post came too late in the month to make the shortlist. This month’s winner is 5 years old, a classic restored from my old blog:
