“Don’t copy the tools, copy the
principles.”
- Dr. W. Edwards Deming, 1972

Organizational resilience: is the capability of an organization
to react to unknown challenges and volatility by co- evolving
with the change into a new and improved stable state.
Growing autonomy: means investing in growing people to
enable them to act more autonomously and consciously
within and for the organization. Good as well as fast decisions
needs to be made constantly, and autonomously within the
organization to allow fast feedback and reaction time.
Nurturing an inter-dependent culture: requires enabling
communication between different groups and people within
the organization. Increasing transparency and encouraging
development of interpersonal relationship outside of team
and group boundaries accelerate reaction times. Cultural
coherence deepens and with it the understanding about how
to act in everyone’s interest.

1st Principle: increase cultural
awareness and coherence
Organizational culture exists and manifests in the form of behaviors, habits, parables,
sacred stories, failure stories. By making these explicit, awareness will increase and
coherence will emerge. Culture is a lagging indicator, and can be used to measure the
behaviors which are successful the stories which are followed and the habits which stick. If
these qualities are measurable we can act aiming and promoting more of the stories we
like, and less of those stories we don’t like. The same applies to behaviors, and habits.
These can be fostered through rituals

“If you can make
culture explicit, you
can agree where you
stand, and where you
want to go…”
There are two ways to encourage specific behaviours within an
organization:
1. Story telling and role-modeling (e.g: empathy and
tradition, walk the talk, common jargon)
2. Ritualization (e.g: Scrum events, Ritual Dissent, Open
Space)

•Different dimensions contributing to
cultural development can be
compared
•It is possible to clearly see the
overlapping areas, and understand
how far is the overall culture from
being coherent
•It is easier to find “adjacent possibles”
toward which to shift the culture to
facilitate coherence, before embracing
a transition towards a new profile
•It is possible to compare different
areas of an organization including
currently running experiments

2nd Principle: base situational
assessment and decision making
on the context
Understanding the context is key to be able to identify the right approach. Depending on
the context, the assessment of the situation and the way the decision-making process will
be implemented varies significantly

Cynefin Framework
•It’s a Sense-making Framework means that the
data comes before the model, contrary to
categorization where the model comes before the
data.
•It has 5 domains which are separated by
boundaries. On the right side there are Ordered
domains which have hard defined boundaries, on
the left side Unordered domains which have
permeable and overlapping boundaries.
•Each domain is defined by recognizable
behaviours supporting decision making
processes, and are defining different contexts
•The grey area in the middle is called Disorder and
indicates that we aren’t able to make sense of a
specific situation

Cynefin Framework
• Learning Loop: allows to learn and
consolidate the learnings (e.g.: Scrum,
Experimentation…);
• Innovation Loop: shallow dive into
controlled chaos to allow innovation to
emerge by removing constraints;
• Standardization: acquired knowledge is
commoditized into standard usage
procedures;
• Entrenched Expertise: experts are stuck
into their models, and underestimate the
complexity, dive into disorder and
recover through complexity
• Fall into Chaos: over-simplification,
causes chaos and recovery is very
expensive

34. agile42 | the agile coaching company www.agile42.com | All rights reserved. Copyright © 2007 - 2017.
Obvious Domain
Situational analysis: isn’t necessary as in
this domain things are self-evident.
Decision making: Rules based, where rules
are understandable and applicable by
everybody. A review process will grant that
decisions are consistent with the rules.
35. agile42 | the agile coaching company www.agile42.com | All rights reserved. Copyright © 2007 - 2017.
Complicated Domain
Situational analysis: is done by experts or
peers, and it is validated through peer
reviews.
Decision making: rules & process based,
where rules are understandable and
applicable only by experts. Peer to peer
reviews will provide insights on how to
improve outcomes, and iterations will help
improve decisions.
36. agile42 | the agile coaching company www.agile42.com | All rights reserved. Copyright © 2007 - 2017.
Complex Domain
Situational analysis: is distributed, actions
are distributed (to probe faster) and
decisions based on actions are happening
in real-time and distributed.
Decision making: direction decisions and
respond decisions are centralized, to keep
coherence in an environment in which a lot
of unexpected outcomes and unintended
consequences will emerge.
37. agile42 | the agile coaching company www.agile42.com | All rights reserved. Copyright © 2007 - 2017.
Chaotic Domain
Situational analysis: isn’t possible.
Decision making: draconian decision
making is necessary to provide a minimal
level of coherence. A bad decision which
leaves options open is better than no
decision at all. Decisions need to be taken
very fast.

3rd Principle: focus on value
creation
Your organization supports the creation of value. The traditional approach has been to
optimize organizations to support the management of the business, versus value delivery
to customers and stakeholders. Identify what is value, and evolve the organization to
effectively create it, whilst removing waste and making adjustments to streamline the
simplest path to delivery.

4th Principle: validate changes in
small increments
Change is difficult and confronting. Validate changes with small safe-to-fail
experiments, executed at regular intervals, to reduce resistance and minimize the
waste of two coexisting systems of work, whilst gradually incorporating validated
learnings. A portfolio of safe-to-fail experiment will help emerging options that can
then be vetted and tested, before being implemented, significantly reducing risk.

5th Principle: optimize the flow
Dependencies are a symptom of an over synchronized system design. They carry the
excessive burden of coordination, handovers and plans which dramatically increase the
transaction costs. Design a decoupled system which removes unnecessary synchronization
and establishes effective working agreements which grant collective responsibility and
ownership. Inter-dependence between teams emerges based on needs, and it is temporary.
This allows for minimal alignment while remaining strongly coherent through principles.
