Overview
In an increasingly complex world, being agile means continuously adapting and evolving with fluidity, thanks to a high-quality dialogue between our identity and our environment. Agility reconnects us with life; we gain freedom and elegance.This book answers questions such as: How can we improve our ability to sense weak signals, strategize and then act accordingly? Is management (the social technology of the industrial world) dead? How should it evolve? How can we effectively mobilize people and develop a context favourable to adaptation and innovation? What must be organized for self-organization to flourish? How do ants, bees, or schools of fish self-organize? What can we learn from Nature in its ability to evolve? How can Chinese thought and Taoism help us navigate in a complex world? What do Nietzsche, Montaigne or Leibniz have to say about Agility? What can we learn from the French and English approaches to gardens? How can we better go with the flow? In essence, how can we better dance with Life? Guiding you through mental models and practices to become agile at a both individual and collective level, nurtured by multiple sources, this book provides a holistic perspective to provoke your thought and encourage you to act and start dancing. "Dancing with Life" is a reference book about Agility and is used by AGILEmaker consultants to guide and support organisations in their Agility journey. It pictures a coherent universe, both philosophical (inspired by Nature, Chinese thought, sport, etc) and practical (containing numerous innovative frameworks and models). It provides agility practitioners and leaders with a robust and inspiring framework, as well as anybody looking to approach life with more freedom and elegance.
