I have a dream
I have the dream, that one day, people will feel safe and act in confidence when they face the real uncertain. I have the dream, that one day people overcome “low self-esteem” and start participating in life. I have the dream, that people stop fighting for the “one fits all” best solution for every problem.

Scientific proof: why Scrum Masters are essentially needed
A few days ago I found this on Twitter: Opportunity to reconfigure broader architecture of problem-solving: @DanielPink reminds us we learn faster together https://t.co/WPELYotJOA — John Hagel (@jhagel) 5. November 2016 For me, it is of tremendous value. That’s a scientific proof of what we all “intuitively” felt about Scrum Masters helping the team finding […]

Tree of Requirements
At a client, I felt the need for structuring “requirements” we got from user interviews. In my opinion, the structure is already inside the topics and items. You just have to work it out (like Michelangelo said). So, how did the tree grow? Recently I referenced Lyssa Adkins’ tree of high performance at another client. […]

Einfache Frage – größtmöglicher Wert: die Navigator-Frage
Es gibt in der “Coaching-Branche” ein oft wiederholtes Dogma: Es gibt keine “Best Practices”. Jede Organisation muss für sich selbst erarbeiten, wie sich ihre Teilnehmer am besten zueinander verhalten, um das Unternehmensziel zu erreichen. So weit, so richtig. Das setzt aber voraus, dass die Beteiligten genau wissen, was das Ziel der Organisation ist. Das wird […]

Why transitions fail and what You can do about
I write this under the self-experienced impression of transitions in software creation from waterfall to somewhat scrum-alike. But, the point is of wider, more general validity, especially for once successful organizations. I write this in English, because several words I intend to use are of double or triple or slightly different meaning in German – […]

Wer braucht die 40h-Woche?
Job-Sharing und flexible Arbeitszeitmodelle werden von den Arbeitenden aktiv nachgefragt. Viele Organisationen tun sich aber schwer damit, sie anzubieten. Es rechnet sich einfacher in “FTEs” (zu 40h) anstatt in Mitarbeitern, Aufgaben und Zeitbudgets. Eine kurze Analyse des Themas findet sich hier. Ich sehe die Sache mittlerweile gelassen. Ich bin (derzeit) in der komfortablen Situation nur mit Partnern zusammenzuarbeiten, […]
