The document introduces an integral framework for agile coaching. It is based on integral theory which considers four perspectives - the individual ("I"), relationships ("WE"), systems and environment ("ITS"), and ideas and information ("IT"). The framework can be used as a mirror to reflect on a team or organization, a magnifier to examine specific areas more closely, and a toolkit to design interventions. Examples are given of how it could be applied to design a team kick-off workshop addressing each perspective and to plan for "squadification" of an organization along the four dimensions. The framework is presented as a holistic approach to agile transformation.

Definition of Ready per il Coach: avere un mindset agile. Il coach deve ambire non solo a conoscere le pratiche e saperle insegnare, ma a fare propri i principi e i valori che ci stanno dietro
Puntare l’organizzazione verso la destinazione: Agile Mindset. Far comprendere come tools e pratiche son un passo essenziale ma iniziale verso il percorso di vera business agility
Agile transformation is therefore a lot more than the simple adoption of tools and practices, it entails a shift in not only how we do things but also how we behave as individuals and how we collaborate with each other in teams and teams of teams. As Agile Coaches, we therefore need an holistic view of the journey we’ll take the organization on.
That view will have to take into consideration certainly the business side but we can’t forget the human aspects of a transformation.
I: the inside of the individual
WE: the inside of the collective
IT: the outside of the individual
We: the outside of the collective
Which quadrant do you belong to?
It’s a tool to understand my strengths and weaknesses as a coach:
I know which quadrant(s) is more natural to me
I realise which competencies I need to develop further
But also a tool that helps avoid biases when engaging a team or an organisation
