Self-Selection at Business Agility 2017

March 4, 2017
Self-Selection - Business Agility

Last week, Jesse Huth, Co-Founder of O2 Agility and I gave a TED-like talk about self-selection for a sold-out audience of 320 people at the Business Agility 2017 conference in New York City. This was Business Agility’s first year and it had an interesting set of talks, many of which were given by Senior Agile or Business Consultants describing the frameworks they’ve used to transform organizations for almost two decades. Our talk, of course, is a little different. It’s a specific how-to and case study on self-selection, given, for this conference, in a bite-sized 15 minutes. We want to congratulate Evan Leybourn, Business Transformation Leader & Author, for chairing the event, a herculean effort by any standard.

What’s Next?

One of the most exciting things for us was how many people reached out, excited about our presentation and wanting to talk about how they could run self-selection at their company or with clients. We’re spending this week following up with all those agilists and seeing how we can help them turn that excitement into action. If you’re interested in running a self-selection event of your own, contact us at team@amberrfield.com. We can speak with your teams, help plan the event, provide materials, and/or facilitate the event.

Ads Are Everywhere. Here’s How I Shield Myself So What I Have Feels Like Enough

I watched the first game of the World Series this week, rooting for the Brewers, of course, the team I grew up with. It was a great reminder that sports-viewing can be fun. It was also a shocking reminder of what I’ve been missing by not watching live TV: the ads. I’ve been sheltered from all of this for a while, and I’d forgotten how annoying ads are. Which got me thinking about why I am constantly avoiding ads, and how you can too.

A Weekend Trip to Colorado and Wyoming in the Fall

Most of my trips to Colorado end the same way, with me on a plane wondering why I don’t live there. That’s the short version of this post. The longer version involves a moose, hundreds of elk, a farmer’s market, a side trip to Wyoming, afternoon tea, and the best wildlife day I’ve had at Rocky Mountain National Park in years. And I did all that in two and a half days.
