Want to scale agile? Don't. Descale the work. Want to do an agile transformation? Don't. Focus on Flow, Quality, Happiness and Value
There is no such thing as a failed experiment. There is learning.
Those learnings should happen on a small, safe-to-learn scale.

We humans have evolved over the past 2 million years in multidisciplinary teams and teams of teams.

Improving how we do what we do, ideally should be articulated as a priority from the ExCo, to maximise outcomes.
If not there will be bubbles of improvement anchored at the top by the most senior leaders supporting change.

Business architecture = people architecture = technical architecture = business architecture...

1 consumer
1 location

Improvement needs to be continuous.
You are never done being the best at being better.
