Have you ever done something where you felt like you were in a higher state of awareness,
your focus sharp like a knife, and time seemed to stand still? Imagine you could harness that
same feeling in your work, working with your Scrum Team?
Even cooler, imagine you could measure that feeling, and use it to guide you in just about all the organisational choices you make at work?
That feeling is the Mental State of Flow. Using insights from my work as an ecologist I will show you how over millions of years we humans have evolved an instinctive feeling for Flow, as a way to deal with complexity.
We will discuss how this makes Flow the perfect alternative for our struggles with
dashboards, assessments, metrics and the like. And how Flow is an example of the new kind of tools we need to make sense of complexity and find our way as change agents.
Using examples from my experience as a change agent, I will show you how to use Flow at all levels of the organisation, providing you with a step-by-step approach to start using Flow in your work, and a sense-making matrix to help you make choices using Flow.
I hope to inspire you to join me in finding other patterns in nature to help us deal with
complexity!

I've done this talk at Agile Cambridge, Agile Tour Vilnius and Scrum Day Europe. Every iteration is different as I integrate feedback and learnings.
