Den hellige ko
Hvilket dyr frygter du mest på din arbejdsplads:
🐍 Snogen - som du aldrig ved, hvor du har?

🦁 Løven - der er rolig og rar, indtil han pludselig angriber?
Personligt er jeg ikke i tvivl:

Would your organization pass The Monkey Test?
My favorite emojis are the little monkeys. And this weekend it occurred to me
how perfectly they illustrate what happens when large organizations undergo a
transformation.
Whether it’s a digital, strategic or organizational transformation, employees go
through four stages:

bare lige ringe og sige, at du har ret. Jeg tog fejl."
Går du og venter på sådan et opkald, venter du formentlig forgæves. I stedet

The questions that are never asked
"Is agile the right thing for us right now?"
I help large companies collect and analyze the questions their employees ask
each other. But to be honest, I'm more curious about the questions employees do

There is no such thing as "just asking"
My mother-in-law is one of the most caring people I know. And she is always
willing to help. Not that she tells us what to do. She would never do that.
She just occasionally asks:
“Have you ever thought about doing some gardening?” Or, “Wouldn’t it be nice

"Er du overhovedet klar til at ændre mening?"
Hun er genial. Min datter. Hendes far spurgte os, hvad vi synes om ideen om at
