Meet the Co-authors of The Six Big Ideas of Adaptive Organizations

Jason Little is well know to the LAST Community as the author of Lean Change Management, a collection of innovative practices for managing organizational change. He is a two-time #1 Amazon best-selling author for The Six Big Ideas of Adaptive Organizations and well as for From Skeptic to Strategist: Embracing AI in Change Management. 

Ken Rickard (ICE-EC) is a spark for transformative good — a change alchemist, deep thinker, and a catalyst for personal growth and organizational evolution. With over 15 years in the agile community, he's honed the art of navigating change and embracing adaptation as the true essence of agility.

The Six Big Ideas of Adaptive Organizations is a refreshing take on transformation.
In a world that values click-bait and easy-answers to complex questions, Ken & Jason have done the opposite. They’ve crafted a masterpiece that helps change agents help their organization think in their own context.

You won’t find recipes that ensure successful transformation, but you will find ideas that will help you diagnose why your organization is stuck and what you *might* want to do about it. 

This book explores six pivotal concepts:

1. The 2 Change Strategies of Effective Organizations: Delve into the dichotomy between optimizing existing systems and evolving organizational beliefs for profound transformation.
2. The 5 Universals of Change: Learn why fostering a common purpose and embracing meaningful dialogue trumps creating urgency and seeking buy-in.
3. The 5 Levers of Change: Uncover how a holistic adjustment across people, processes, technologies, strategies, and structures can catalyze significant change.
4. The 3 Agilities of Effective Organizations: Discover the critical roles of leadership, change, and delivery agility in ensuring an organization's adaptability.
5. The 5 Waves of Transformational Change: Understand the evolutionary phases of change, from superficial adjustments to deep, systemic shifts.
6. The 4 Dimensions of Change: Appreciate the interplay between personal development and the use of change tools to achieve effective and sustainable transformation.

Change agents will gain from this book not just theories but actionable knowledge that melds the art and science of change. Written for agile coaches and seasoned change management practitioners, this book emphasizes discovery-based learning to master the dynamics of organizational change. It's a guide that transforms readers into architects of adaptability, equipped to foster environments where change is not only possible but embraced as a continuous opportunity for growth and innovation.

This description encapsulates the essence of each big idea and emphasizes the practical benefits and broader significance of the concepts presented in the book.
