Debunking Cargo Cult Management: Illusions and Realities in Modern Organizations

Despite intensive use of agile practices and numerous workshops on the agile mindset, the long-term results hoped for often do not materialise. The reason for this could lie in a widespread phenomenon that affects many organisations unnoticed: cargo cult management. Even experienced coaches, product owners and Scrum Masters often unknowingly fall into this trap.
Our interactive presentation highlights the presence of cargo cult management in comparison to actual agility and its impact on corporate culture. We show why this deception arises, how it influences organisational dynamics and why sustainable results are lacking.
By revealing real-world case studies and incisive analysis, the aim is to create a deeper understanding of the differences between superficial adaptation and actual transformation. Concrete approaches and courses of action are shown as to how organisations can overcome the challenges of cargo cult management and establish an authentic, more agile culture.
In this exciting discussion, learn more about the meaning of the cargo cult, its origins and how it can be recognised and overcome in a corporate context.
Dive in to gain new perspectives and explore practical solutions to enable true agile transformation.
This talk is for leaders, change agents and anyone interested in exploring the truth behind perceived progress in organisations and finding transformative ways to create true agility.

Ag(e)ile is not about age! - Ageism in Agile Coaching

Age discrimination in agile coaching - an unexpected reality that affects us all. In a world where our expertise is often valued through assumptions about our age, we must question the limits of these assumptions. You are too young to have your own opinions and experiences' or 'You know more classic methods'
- these sentences reflect the invisible barriers we face in agile coaching.
It is amazing that even in the 21st century such prejudices exist in Europe, regardless of age. The question is: Are age and experience really the decisive criteria for successful agile coaches? The lecture sheds light on this topic and examines the question of how behavioral patterns of unconscious discrimination arise and are passed on in everyday professional life.
Why do we discriminate against other people at all? Why don't we decide objectively and fairly?
How can we change our mindset around ageism in coaching? Which abilities and skills should be evaluated differently when evaluating coaches? These and other questions will be explored in an open discussion with the participants in the lecture.
In our lecture we dare to look at these questions critically.
Answering the question Why is discrimination quite "human" and "normal"?
We address the prejudices that arise from age and question how these distort our perception of skills and abilities. We encourage you to take a new perspective and discuss what qualities an effective Agile Coach should really have.
Our mission is to initiate an in-depth discussion to make coaching in agile environments more inclusive and diverse. By breaking down stereotypes and assumptions, we want to create an environment in which a coach's abilities are evaluated regardless of age or experience. Join us in the world of modern coaching and discover new dimensions that enable a more inclusive future for agile coaches and their methods.

"Mom, you're stupid" - "Your leadership is bad": Modern leadership methods vs. upbringing

It's an all-too-familiar reality in the world of management: some employees don't seem to listen, don't express opinions, don't seem interested, or even get involved in conflicts. As a leader, you sometimes feel frustrated and ineffective. Conflicts are resolved, only to find ten new ones emerge. Workshops and the involvement of the HR department create short-term peace of mind, but not long-term success.

Our interactive workshop offers a new perspective on this dilemma. Together we will develop dos and don'ts for leaders to manage these challenging dynamics. We will humorously explore the differences and similarities between parents and leaders to understand how these roles sometimes overlap. Modern leadership principles are brought to life through playful activities in order to convey a new approach to leadership.

This workshop invites managers to question traditional approaches and acquire new tools to better deal with the challenges of employee leadership. It provides space for reflection and the acquisition of practical skills to create a more productive and positive work environment.
