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.

Viking Rhine River Cruise: The Good and The Bad

Viking Rhine River Cruise: The Good and The Bad

We went on a Viking River Cruise down the Rhine River this July. The trip was wonderful in many ways, but it was not quite what I expected in a few important ones. The Rhine River was low so we ended up switching boats partway through the cruise. This is my account of both the day-by-day itinerary, what we actually did, and my verdict on whether a Viking River Cruise was right for us (and whether it may be right for you).

How I Plan a Trip (And Why the Planning Is Half the Fun)

How I Plan a Trip (And Why the Planning Is Half the Fun)

I am an enthusiastic trip planner. At any given moment, I would rather be traveling (seeing new things, trying new foods, meeting new people) than almost anything else in the world. For me, planning the trip is almost as fun as actually taking it. So, let me walk you through how I plan a trip, from the first spark of interest to the last booking.
