Anyone else going to @ukgovcamp.com in January 26? Gimme a wave 👋 #agility #productLed #design #collaboration

I wrote some stuff on #LinkedIn. It's bigger than #Bsky allows, so here's a picture of the words. 1. Being a leader isn’t always about standing at the front. 2. Effective #leadership is about creating a space for others. 3. The #System is the #Product. #Agility #TeamDevelopment #HumanLeadership

You’re not “cleaning up” the UX. You’re reducing support tickets and unlocking expansion. Quiet work only stays tactical if you describe it that way. Frame outcomes, not effort. That’s how invisible work becomes strategic work.

Resource Reshare 🎁 Someone recently asked for my Top 5 Meeting Tips - here they are. Built on what I’ve learned from brilliant facilitators, teams and the humans within them - to create inclusive, productive, and accessible spaces that drive better outcomes. #Facilitation #Meetings #Productivity

But will it scale? Yes. 🎉 Yesterday I ran my most immersive training yet: practice, reflection, audience engagement and activities. Any event can have content; the real content is the audience - stories, expertise and collective intelligence. Thanks for leaning in. #Agility #Facilitation #Coaching

Nothing quite says 'Thought Leader' and 'Jumped the Shark' simultaneously as when someone quotes themselves on #LinkedIn 😂🤮

Due to unforeseen circumstances, I won’t be able to attend this year’s Lean Agile Brighton on 16th Oct. If anyone would like my £99 ticket (prices currently £299) - DM me 👍 #agile #conferences #Brighton #delivery

Leadership is giving people the space to decide and the safety to act.

“Continuous attention to technical excellence and good design enhances agility.” Not just in software. But in org design, team structures & ways of working too. Excellence isn’t overhead. It’s what makes agility possible. #Agility #Leadership #SystemsThinking

If a company really cares about its Values and Behaviours, they’ll show up in the work. They’re Embedded. Measured. Graphed. In the Open. If not, they’re just word salad - or something nice to doodle on a wall. Values and Behaviours are in the Product. #Leadership #Culture #Values

🎉 That’s a wrap on @devopsdays.london! Two days of brilliant people and conversations - and I’m proud That Agile supported this year’s event as a sponsor. #DevOps #DevOpsDaysLondon #ThatAgile #London #Tech #DevOpsDaysLDN #Agility

Halfway through @devopsdays.london & insights are everywhere: cultures of blame vs curiosity & heroics vs steady improvement. Enjoyed running a #HumanAPI taster too! 🧠 A few #Facilitation Scoping Card decks left - DM me, or say Hi 👋 to grab one! #DevOps #Coaching #HighPerformingTeams #London #Tech

“Blame and shame don’t result in resiliency” Great session on Blameless Post Mortems from Agata Skorupka at @devopsdays.london - Plenty to digest, reflect on and put into practice. 🚀 #DevOps #DevOpsDays #London #ThatAgile

Photo of shipping container in a container talk checked off my @devopsdays.london bingo card

Interesting opening talk from @kestr.al at @devopsdays.london, “Code is Never Neutral”. I am also reminded of Drew DeVault’s blog post drewdevault.com/2020/05/05/W... #devopsdaysLDN

“If you deploy to production, you’ve change the world” @kestr.al kicking off @devopsdays.london - great energy and a reflective topic to begin. #DevOps #DevOpsDays #London #ThatAgile

It’s time for @devopsdays.london! Looking forward to exploring ideas, hearing stories, and meeting the community. Even better with That Agile supporting as a sponsor. Let’s Go! 💥 #DevOps #DevOpsDays #London #ThatAgile

It’s nearly time for DevOpsDays London. Delighted THAT AGILE is sponsoring this year’s event, and bringing the card decks! See you soon! #DevOps #DevOpsDaysLDN #London #ThatAgile

Less than one week to go until @devopsdays.london 2025! I’ll be there - with stacks of Facilitation Scoping Wheel card decks. DM, wave, or shout if you want one! Not going? Order online now (UK shipping only). #DevOpsDays #facilitation #agile #consulting #collaboration #coaching #agility #DevOps

I'll be doing a little show-and-tell / workshop on visualizing your company operating system (free). Would love to see folks. zoom.us/meeting/regi...

I’m speaking at October’s Agile Yorkshire in Sheffield. 1st October, 17:30, Sheffield Hallam University (Cantor Building). See you there 👋 www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/agile-york... #AgileYorkshire #Agility #TeamPerformance #Coaching #Leadership #ContinuousImprovement #Sheffield

It’s nearly time for the Introduction to Lego Serious Play x Flutter Agility Community of Practice collab 🙌 The venue is set. The bricks are ready. All we need now is the humans to fill the space with their metaphors and insights! #Agility #Leeds #Agile #Lego #Communities #Innovation

Competence ≠ Authority. Thriving orgs diffuse authority to those closest to the work - balancing autonomy with alignment. Optimise collaboration, not control, and you’ll sense and respond faster. Treat people as humans, not parts. #Leadership #Agility #OrgDesign #Collaboration #Resilience

Want better team performance and flow? Don’t just Work the Work. ⬆️ Increase Ownership ⚡ Accelerate Decisions ⏳ Reduce PR review waits 💬 Inject slack for prompt Collaboration Optimise for the System around the Work. Work the System → the Work Flows. #DevOps #Flow #SystemsThinking

It’s a real honour to be on a @leedsdigi.bsky.social Festival Awards shortlist. 🎉 Congratulations to everyone shortlisted and nominated. Let’s make this years Leeds Digital and its events even better than last year! #Yorkshire #Leeds #Digital #Tech #Communities

Everyone wants better UX. But it doesn’t start at the interface - it starts in the system. Change how people are organised. Change how money flows. That’s where real experience is designed. #SystemsThinking #UserExperience #Leadership #OrganisationalDesign #ProductDevelopment

“Our teams aren’t empowered.” “Our teams aren’t motivated.” “Our teams don’t own enough.” Then you’ve built a system where that is easier than the alternative. Teams don’t fail in isolation. Systems shape behaviour. Change the system. Start with yourself. #Leadership #SystemsThinking #Agility

This is your regular reminder that Onboarding and Offboarding aren’t admin tasks. They shape how people think, feel, and act. They change what’s said about your team, culture, and brand. Every entry and exit leaves a lasting impression. #Leadership #Culture #TeamDevelopment #PeopleExperience

Less than a month to go until @devopsdays.london 2025! I’ll be there - with stacks of Facilitation Scoping Wheel Card Decks. Come say hi, grab a deck in person & see how they can help you shape better #workshops, #retrospectives, meetings and team #collaboration 👋 #DevOpsDays #Facilitation #Agile

2.4K views and 158 reuses later - Wow! I didn’t expect the 3F Retrospective to land like this on the #Miroverse. Big thanks to Mary, Nicole, the #Miro team, and every practitioner who’s shared feedback or used it in the wild. 👋 ➡️ miro.com/miroverse/3f... #Retrospectives #agile #Facilitation

A few years ago we attended. Then we spoke at a @devopsdays.london event. Now we’re sponsoring. Can’t wait to rejoin the community to continue learning, supporting and helping make great #devops cultures and capabilities happen! See you there 👋 Also, we’re bringing lots of cool stuff 🎁 #London #tech

A huge thank you to That Agile for supporting DevOpsDays London 2025! 🙌 Your partnership helps bring our amazing community together to share ideas, spark conversations, and inspire the future of DevOps. We couldn’t do it without you! 💜 #DevOpsDays #DevOps #CommunityEvent

Leadership is holding clarity, not control. Set the Vision, make it real - then step aside so others can own the How. Build systems that balance today with tomorrow, and allow others to create a credible path forward that they own. #Leadership #SystemsThinking #TeamPerformance #Clarity #Agility

Systems create New Systems in their own image, form and structure. The seeds and constraints can be subtle or obvious. If you want to do something different and outperform the past, create a new and different system to define the system that comes next. Systems Create Systems. #agility #design

User Needs come from users - their goals and outcomes. Anything less than speaker to users creates solutions built on imagination, wistful hopes, or convoluted synthesis that doesn’t track back. Get closer to the need. Close the gap between fiction and reality. Same goes for #DevEx too.

Let’s find the thing behind the thing together. Coaching creates space to see what’s really happening - and what to do next. It’s not about quick fixes. It’s about clarity, perspective, and meaningful change. 👉 Book your free call: linktr.ee/thatagile #Coaching #Mentoring #Growth #Clarity

Back in #Sheffield soon to talk Individual, Team and System Performance. #Coaching, #Facilitation and extras. No strange personality tests. Just listening to humans. See you there.

A lot of the useful practices in #engineering and #product #development focus on conversations, understanding & expertise transfer. When you squeeze that out of the system & replace it with hollow, soulless procedure, don’t be surprised when you don’t get the joy or the benefits they first brought.

🧱 Curious about #LEGO Serious Play? Join us in #Leeds on Tues 10 Sept for a hands-on intro session hosted by the Flutter Agility Community of Practice. Build, explore, and leave with tools you can use the next day. Register 👉 www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/an-introdu... #Agile #LeedsDigitalFestival #LSP

I’ll be at #DevOpsDays #London on 23–24 September. If you’re going and want to talk about: ➡️ Organisational Change ➡️ Team Design ➡️ Coaching ➡️ Growing a Performance Culture 💥 Or grab a #Facilitation Scoping Wheel Deck in person …DM me and let’s make it happen. See you there 🤙 #DevOps #Agility

Quite often the use of an Ice Breaker in a meeting or workshop has nothing to do with the needs of the team or situation, and everything to do with the needs of the Facilitator. A critical part of creating a space for others is removing yourself from it. #facilitation #outcomes #retrospectives

Many companies end up losing because they stubbornly hold on to a view of their context, their game, and their "old" way of aligning from 5-10 years ago. cutlefish.substack.com/p/tbm-271-di...

Real-world examples of starting with a framework and ending with an aha moment. 1️⃣ Product work is messy don't get stuck trying to follow a framework 2️⃣ Structure your thinking and build mental models 3️⃣ Frameworks are learning tools adapt them to your situation buff.ly/IX1VORG

"Welcome to your new job. You’re now a System Setter - and that brings new and greater responsibilities. Sorry about that." - A short article on the weight and impact of designing and creating for others. #OrganisationalDesign #WaysOfWorking #Agility #Ethics www.linkedin.com/pulse/congra...

I worked from a different location yesterday. I’m a big believer in that changing the space and place [the system], changes what happens [in the system]. I can’t show you the system, so here’s a photo of a laptop with some cool stickers instead.
