AppMeadows

In every venture or adventure there are highs and lows. There are good days and bad nights. If we are blessed there are people who stand by our side, who stand shoulder to shoulder with us, to weather any storm and get through thick and thin.

Benjamin Taylor and Kashmir Birk have stood shoulder to shoulder with me from the very beginning, when so people doubted us or even ridiculed us because they were too caught up in their own world to see the power of Requisite Agility.

Benjamin and Kashmir are the co-founders of RA along with me, Steve Clemente and Geordie Keitt.

Benjamin and Kashmir are going to kick off the Requisite Agility Unleashed Conference with a fire-side chat. They are going to share the 4 Realms and 5 Principles of Requisite Agility. They are going to share the "Learning Ladder of Purpose".

Benjamin has devised the "Learning Ladder of Purpose". A self-illuminating lens that helps people see whether they are trapped in their own "silver bullet" (e.g. like Agile) pushing their pet solution or approach, sincerely hoping it is going to solve everyone's problems.

It takes courage, integrity and respect to be silent, to truly listen, to step into a clients world without jumping to our prized solutions. To see how they perceive things. To to be where they are. To see their strengths and challenges and from this to work work WITH them, to be where they need to be.

The Learning Ladder of Purpose reveals what it means to be requisite, both in building agility or anything else we may be seeking to achieve.

Please join us at the Requisite Agility Unleashed Conference between 7th-9th December, 2021.

Luis Gallardo is a conscious leader who is not afraid of , , .

Luis is not stuck in his head. He is not a hostage of all encompassing theories and diagrams that seek to explain everything and resolve all the riddles and mysteries of who we are and can be.

Luis's start-up lit up global organisations such as Deloitte, Atento, Alcatel, and Microsoft so much that that Deloitte absorbed his start-up into their business.

Having served successfully as Deloitte's Global Chief Marketing Officer encompassing Brand Marketing, Communications and Corporate Reputation for over TEN years, Luis moved onto Burson-Marsteller/ Young and Rubicam.

Luis developed and executed consumer marketing practice across 25 EMEA countries at the BAV Group, generating millions in value.

Some like to crone on about the abstract, theoretical and mind-trapped models of their own making. Some people like to dream about a utopian world of idealism and perfection. Some get stuck in making money at any costs.

Luis Gallordo rises above all of these reductionist conceptions.

Luis is fearless. He has transcended the business world. He has transcended the academic and spiritualsts. Luis brings us back to our humanity.

Luis transcends and therefore is able to create the fusion between personal agility (at an individual), team agility (in the space offered by the agile manifesto), business or organisational agility that abstract models are trying to scale, through to societal agility, our humanity.

We are honored to host Luis's presentation "Happytalism: The Key to Reconnection" at the Requisite Agility, 7th - 9th December, 2021.

Maladaptation has severe consequences for the clients of maladaptive organisations.

Philip Boxer asks: 'Who should be caring about maladaptation?'

Resistance or the conservation of identity, is about the way individuals use organisations through the way an organisation supports their preferred ways of ignoring, ‘strategy’ being about managing what is to be ignored in the interests of sustaining competitive advantage .

At issue here is the level at which the strategy ceiling of an organisation can afford to remain set, given the requirement for sustainability and the nature of the competitive environment .

The maladaptation arises if the ceiling cannot be lifted as needed to maintain the necessary balance.

Maladaptation shows itself as dogmatism, splitting and stalemate, the latter arising from privileging a focus on process above any focus on outcomes.

We need to to understand the costs and effects of maladaptation and leads us to become the most apparent under turbulent competitive conditions, which demands an organisation to become edge-driven.

An existing corporate culture can be impervious to such challenges, however subtle and sophisticated the analysis of the competitive environment and the imperatives it imposes for an organisation’s survival.

If the sole function of an organisation is to support the identities of its managers and stakeholders – ‘going out of business on budget’ This is not a matter of finding the right leader to exercise appropriate forms of top-down power.

Philip shares how resistance is systemic, rooted in all the small details that maintain the cohesion of an organisation’s behaviors, each one of which contributes in some way towards existing ways of using the organisation to support identifications.

Philip is providing a keynote presentation at the Requisite Agility Unleashed Conference between 7th - 9th December, 2021.

Dr Darren Stevens is the pioneer and original developer of the Theory of Constructed Development.

The Theory of Constructed Development enables us to understand how we utilise shortcuts in our thinking to construct our Intentions, Awareness, Choices and Response in the moment.

The greater our awareness of our intention based on the use of fifty Cognitive Intentions, the greater our capacity to respond in the moment.

Requisite Agility is the capacity to make the right choice and take the right action, rapidly and flexibly in the moment, in real time based on what is required.

The Theory of Constructed Development is crucial in the realisation of personal and mutual Requisite Agility.

We are honoured to have Dr Stevens as one of our keynote presents at the online Requisite Agility Unleashed Conference.

You will learn about Dynamic Intelligence, the process by which we construct our thinking in the moment in order to determine the path from Intention to Awareness, then Choice and finally Response.

You will also learn about "The Thinking Quotient". A tool that measures the relationship between the fifty Cognitive Intentions that are the building blocks of our Dynamic Intelligence.

This provides you with a scale for you to benchmark your Constructed Development.

His work completely reinvents the discipline of coaching and leadership development. Providing a more evidence based approach both increases development and ensure ethical integrity.

When management guru Peter Drucker was asked, at the end of his life who was his guru, he described Mary Parker Follett as "the brightest light in the management firmament".

For over a century she has been ignored by academics, management schools or leadership programs.

In the 1920's women were not considered qualified to be leaders in organizations or society, and yet here was a thinker who laid the foundations for Lean Systems and Agility over a hundred years ago.

Long before any of us or even our parents were born, in the 1920's Mary wrote about the nature of power, how healthy organizations need to apply pull over push systems, the importance of distributed power, collaborative intelligence, how to navigate uncertainty and make diversity a valuable asset.

She coined the term "co-active leadership" which is now used by the largest coaching certification company in the world.

She described "servant leadership" decades before Robert Greenleaf and "situational leadership" long before Blanchard, and "Win-Win Negotiations" long before Harvard took the term and approach and sold it as their own.

Mary Parker had a very clear and simple definition of leadership: "Leaders create leaders, not followers".

Requisite Agility is the capacity to make the right choice and take the right action, rapidly and flexibly in the moment, in real time based on what is required. Mary Parker described how to do this.

During the upcoming Requisite Agility Unleashed Conference, on 7-9 December, 2021, Kashmir Birk will be sharing insights from this forgotten "godmother of management" in his fireside chat with one of the co-founders of Requisite Agility, Benjamin Taylor.

Kashmir will share how Mary Parkers systems allow for the sustaining and scaling of Agility.
