Pearson Education (US) Agile Transformation
Book SynopsisMichael K. Spayd's career in Agile began in 2001 as one of the leaders of a very large-scale adoption of Agile XP. Subsequently, Michael led and coached Agile transformations in a wide variety of contexts; as part of his practice, speaking, and teaching, he has endeavored to bring in key disciplines from fields external to Agile, such as professional coaching, systemic management, organization development (OD), organization culture and change, and approaches to develop more effective sensemaking in leaders. In 2010, Michael cofounded the Agile Coaching Institute, where he trained several thousand Agile coaches. In 2016, he cofounded Trans4mation, and in 2020 he and colleagues launched the Collective Edge ( www.the-collective-edge.com), to help expand consciousness at the critical edge of our collective needs. Michele Madore is the principal and cofounder of Trans4mation ( www.trTrade Review“ Agile Transformation is a wonderful, very readable, and very important book. What makes virtually all other books on transformation, leadership, and business so inadequate is their partial, incomplete, and non-inclusive character. This is exactly the inadequacy handled by Agile Transformation through the use of Integral metatheory, a systemic framework built to be as comprehensive as possible. Thus, Agile Transformation is as inclusive as can be, and that is what makes this book so incredibly important. So if you are engaged in a transformation, I strongly recommend that you not continue to be fractured and broken in your own approach, but step up to the wholeness and completeness of Agile Transformation.” —Ken Wilber, The Integral Vision “This book does not pull its punches. From the first page to the last, the Agile Transformation operating system works the simple and core truth about transforming an organization—it depends on you being transformed. There will be no Agile organizational transformation otherwise. There is much in this book that will help you learn about how to implement a successful Agile Transformation, but it is all for naught if you don't embody and lead the change. You are the vessel. It won't change unless you do. If you're serious about having your Agile Transformation succeed, read this book.” —Bob Anderson, chairman, The Leadership Circle “It's difficult to keep your focus sharp while broadening your perspective, but that is what Michele and Michael have pulled off in their new book on leading Agile Transformation. Impressively succinct, they provide straightforward tools and essential advice that will be useful for all leaders of transformation initiatives. So how did they do it? Well, for one thing, rather than positioning traditional and Agile-inspired management viewpoints as locked in combat, as many of their predecessors have done, they show how they are equally important, complementary features of a single unifying framework. Just as important, they know what is imperative, what to simplify, and what to ignore, the kind of knowledge that can only be distilled from decades of experience.” —Charlie Rudd, chairman and CEO, SolutionsIQ, an Accenture company “This is a must-read for any leader embarking on or in the midst of an Agile Transformation. Michele Madore and Michael Spayd's integral approach provides organizations with tremendous insights into how to overcome the pitfalls of process-centric transformations that are all too common. They have done a brilliant job of making clear, relatable, and actionable what many see as the most nebulous aspects of leading transformation.” —Shannon Ewan, managing director, ICAgile “Michele and Michael have written a beautiful book about change, intertwining their in-depth knowledge and vast experience with Agile Transformations. It gave me a vocabulary and understanding of the change territory, so now I have a way to navigate, too, and at the same time, it has nudged me gently to start exploring the same and go for my own development journey.” —Zvonimir Durcevic, enterprise Agile coachTable of ContentsPreface xiiiAcknowledgments xvAbout the Authors xvii Introduction: Why an Integral Perspective? 1 The Integral Operating System 2 How This Book Is Organized 4 Questions Addressed by This Book 6 Our Perspective (and Biases) 7 Part I: Agile Transformation: An Integral Approach 9Chapter 1: The Holon: Fundamental Building Block of the Integral Framework 11 Organizational Complexity 11 Holons 13 Holons and Agile Transformations 20 Summary 23 From Insight to Action 23 Chapter Notes 24 Chapter 2: The Quadrants: The Four Fundamental Perspectives 25 Deconstructing the Four Perspectives 25 Quadrants in Agile Transformations 36 Summary 37 From Insight to Action 37 Chapter Notes 38 Chapter 3: Integral Altitudes: The Evolution of Complexity 39 Why Altitude Matters 40 The Integral Concept of Altitude 41 How Altitudes Show Up in Organizations 41 Corroborating Research on Altitude 52 Evolution Across Quadrants 56 Summary 62 From Insight to Action 63 Chapter Notes 63 Chapter 4: Lines of Development 65 Developmental Lines 65 From Insight to Action 68 Summary of Part I 68 Part II: Transformational Leadership: Upgrading the Leader's Operating System 71Chapter 5: Transformational Leadership 75 The Context for Transformational Leadership 76 The Business Case for Transformational Leadership 82 The Essence of Transformational Leadership 84 Summary 89 From Insight to Action 89 Chapter 6: The Developmental Landscape 91 The Core of Development: “Our Story” 91 Deconstructing the Levels 95 Collective Leadership Development 102 Summary 103 From Insight to Action 103 Chapter 7: The Developmental Path 105 How Development Actually Happens 106 The Shift from Reactive to Creative 117 The Shift from Creative to Integral 119 Using the Integral Disciplines to Foster Development 120 Increasing Collective Effectiveness 122 Summary 123 From Insight to Action 123 Part III: Organizational Transformation: Putting the Integral Compass to Work 125Chapter 8: The Integral Agile Transformation Framework: An Overview 127 How Do We Use the Map? 128 The IATF Quadrants 129 Integrating the Quadrant Perspectives 138 How Quadrants Look from Different Holons 142 Summary 149 From Insight to Action 149 Chapter 9: The Integral Disciplines: Focusing the Transformation 151 Integral Disciplines and Developmental Lines 151 IATF Integral Disciplines 153 Integral Disciplines Mapped to Developmental Lines 154 Summary 177 From Insight to Action 177 Chapter Notes 178 Chapter 10: Leading an Agile Transformation 179 How to Get Started 179 Transformational Leader Role and Competencies 180 Activating the Integral Disciplines 204 Summary 209 In Conclusion 209 References and Relevant Readings 211Index 215

Springer International Publishing AG Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence
Book SynopsisRapidly developing Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems hold tremendous potential to change various domains and exert considerable influence on societies and organizations alike. More than merely a technical discipline, AI requires interaction between various professions. Based on the results of fundamental literature and empirical research, this book addresses the management’s awareness of the ethical and moral aspects of AI. It seeks to fill a literature gap and offer the management guidance on tackling Trustworthy AI Implementation (TAII) while also considering ethical dependencies within the company. The TAII Framework introduced here pursues a holistic approach to identifying systemic ethical relationships within the company ecosystem and considers corporate values, business models, and common goods aspects like the Sustainable Development Goals and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Further, it provides guidance on the implementation of AI ethics in organisations without requiring a deeper background in philosophy and considers the social impacts outside of the software and data engineering setting. Depending on the respective legal context or area of application, the TAII Framework can be adapted and used with a range of regulations and ethical principles. This book can serve as a case study or self-review for c-level managers and students who are interested in this field. It also offers valuable guidelines and perspectives for policymakers looking to pursue an ethical approach to AI. Trade Review“Teaching and training ethics is already a difficult task. Adding AI to the ethics discussion further complicates decision making for managers, but this book provides clear examples and urgency for it to be done. For practitioners and researchers who seek to help with organizational development and implementation of AI and AI ethics, this book can be a valuable asset. The scholarly studies cited … provide a rich empirical landscape from which to build a foundation for other empirical studies on Tall system implementation.” (Claretha Hughes, Robonomics, The Journal of the Automated Economy, Vol. 4, May, 2023)Table of Contents1.
