Agendashift roundup, March 2025

So that was March – Wholehearted pre-released on LeanPub, spring and autumn cohorts announced, and the release of a new version of Leading with Outcomes: Foundation. Intense! Normal blogging service will be resumed shortly, but expect more activity around the first two shortly.

Wholehearted is due out in print and on other platforms on April 16th, a date which I may bring forward. You can find the relevant links to Amazon, Kobo, Apple, Google, and LeanPub here, and the e-book formats are available for preorder. For the print edition, Amazon is making it unnecessarily difficult to preorder, but I’ll save any write-up on the publishing process until later.

So far the reception has been super encouraging; I’ve shared some of it here, including a video interview by LeanPub founder Len Epp. Mike Jones interviewed me last week for what I believe will become multiple podcast episodes, and Laksh Raghaven will have me on his podcast soon too. Per the calendar below, Adrian Reed has invited me back to Blackmetric’s BA community webinar series also. Similar invitations welcome!

To experience Wholehearted in a very different way, Leading in the Knowledge Economy (LIKE) begins April 30th, which is four weeks on Wednesday. At the time of writing, there are still a couple of early bird tickets available, and there are public sector / non-profit / NGO discounts available also (ping me for coupon codes if that’s you). Details in the blog posts and calendar below.

Finally, a reminder that “Office hours” / Ask Mike Anything (AMA) sessions take place on Thursdays at 2pm UK time. Our clocks changed yesterday, so that’s 14:00 BST, 15:00 CEST, 9am EDT. Invitations are published weekly to Academy and Slack subscribers. You can also book a 30-minute Zoom via my Calendly.
