Combining Design Thinking, Lean, and Agile

In his book “Understanding Design Thinking, Lean, and Agile”, Jonny Schneider presents a key visual showing the similarities shared by today’s most prominent methodologies in product development; they are even complementary and compatible with one another:

Very good, and one of the simplest visualisations of the topic I have come upon so far. It can be considered a high-level version of Gartner’s plot (as published by the Gartner Symposium already in 2016):

“Atomic Habits” – How to make Change happen

“Atomic Habits”, to my mind, is a remarkable work by James Clear. The book, in essence, is about change processes – how to get them into motion and how to make them successful. Step by step. Undoubtedly, it is worth a read.  “Atomic Habits” reminded me of some of the findings of the AFRD research project on Knowledge Transfer (AFRD-Framework®) which I publicised earlier this year.

Last week, I sent the book to select business partners as a little Christmas gift. Thanks to everybody for their great feedback! The most elaborated one (by far) was published by Kai Boyd from Mir-nach!. Thank you, Kai. Check it here (in German). [poet-badge]
