Today companies are expected to be flexible and both rapidly responsive and resilient to change, which basically asks them to be Agile. Yet, doing Agile (the mechanics) is different from being Agile (the mindset). The mindset lets you apply flexible Agile patterns not only for software development teams but for the whole company. Yet implementing company-wide Agility isn't straight forward, it asks for combining principles from Beyond Budgeting (adaptive budgeting), Open Space (leveraging the power of innovation from all employees), Sociocracy (flexible organizational structure that allows decentralized decision-making), and Agile (continuous learning via experiments and feedback). This combination provides company-wide agility.

Is Trust Cheaper?
n Background:
– Traditional travel expense procedures are burdensome and
assume people can’t be trusted.
n Hypothesis:
– Such procedures cost more than they save and are
demoralizing.
n Experiment:
– Pre-survey and audit. Try for three months in a few units
with other units as controls. Post-survey and audit.
