Ep.205 - Nous explorons l'importance cruciale de l'architecture dans les projets agiles, et comment celle-ci évolue avec le temps et le contexte en compagnie de François Chenebit.Si les usagers ou les clients expriment leurs besoins dans leur langage, les développeurs et les architectes de systèmes d'information ne sont pas là que pour les transcrire en langage métier. Il est nécessaire d'assurer que le projet se construira sur des bases solides et qui ne seront pas désuètes après quelques années.  François nous parle d'architecture intentionnelle et émergente, de l'impact de l'intelligence artificielle sur l'architecture et le développement, ainsi que des recommandations pour les dirigeants de PME sur la transformation agile.François ChenebitDétenant un diplôme d'ingénieur à l'Institut national des sciences appliquées de Lyon, François a commencé sa carrière comme développeur, gagnant en expérience dans différents environnements.  Après un passage en tant qu'architecte à la Banque de France dans les années pré-covid-19, il travaille depuis 2020 dans le secteur de l'énergie comme architecte de systèmes d'information et d'applications. François est également un alumni de l'ESSEC dont il détient un diplôme de master en transformation digitale et son mémoire portait sur comment améliorer l'architecture logicielle dans les projets agiles. Comme l'architecture c'est beaucoup de compromis et de choix, et comme chacun d'entre eux doit se baser sur un raisonnement plutôt que des a priori, il croit au pragmatisme et à l'étude pour constamment apprendre. À retenirL'architecture doit évoluer avec le temps et le contexte.L'architecture intentionnelle est essentielle au début d'un projet.L'architecte doit coconstruire l'architecture avec l'équipe.L'IA peut améliorer l'efficacité des tâches d'architecture.Les équipes auto-organisées peuvent fonctionner sans architecte à plein temps.Il est important de ne pas confondre architecte et chef de projet.Les PME doivent éviter les effets de mode en matière d'agilité.Autres épisodes à écouterÉpisode 188: La stratégie des organisations avec Henry MintzbergÉpisode 204: Agile est mort, vive l'Agilité!Chapitres(00:00) Bienvenue à l'épisode 205(01:26) Introduction(02:20) Définir l'agilité(03:48) Placer l'architecture dans le processus agile(10:02) Architecture comme minimum essentiel avant de démarrer(11:41) Architecture et équipes auto-organisées(18:43) IA et architecture(20:37) Éléments significatifs(22:34) Recommandations(25:17) ConclusionAccédez aux notes ici: https://www.intelliaconsulting.com/podcastSuivez-nous: Développez votre impact stratégique - Abonnez-vous à notre lettre hebdomadaire Visitez notre page LinkedIn Visitez notre page YouTube

In this episode of The CEO Project Podcast, host Jim Schleckser and Sharon Maguire discuss the critical link between strategy development and execution, emphasizing the importance of treating them as an iterative, interconnected process. Using frameworks like Henry Mintzberg's "Two Loops of Learning," they highlight how organizations must adapt strategies dynamically—refining tactical approaches while continuously reevaluating overarching goals to stay aligned with market changes and organizational needs. The hosts advocate for small, focused strategy teams composed of systems thinkers rather than relying on large, title-driven groups. This approach enables more effective problem-solving and holistic thinking, which are essential for creating and deploying successful strategies. The discussion also underscores the importance of prioritizing a single competitive focus—whether cost leadership, customer intimacy, or innovation—while avoiding the trap of trying to excel in conflicting areas. Effective strategies balance leveraging internal strengths with understanding external market dynamics, ensuring that objectives are both actionable and measurable. Leaders are encouraged to focus on three core areas: financial growth, operational improvement, and strategic extension, such as entering new markets or launching new products. By fostering alignment through techniques like the Japanese "catch ball" method and engaging the organization in execution, businesses can ensure their strategies drive meaningful, sustainable outcomes.

Henry Mintzberg is quite simply a legend, and my personal business thinking hero. When I was studying his writings for my MBA I could only have dreamed that one day I'd be chatting about writing to him on my podcast - and sometimes when dreams come true, the reality is even better than you dared imagine. Along with the nuances of management theory and social change, he revealed insights into his own remarkable writing process. And these elements aren't as different as you might think: his insistence on the non-linear nature of writing and the importance of 'cherishing anomalies' reflects his disciplined yet emergent and above all human approach to strategy.  Despite the fact that he has so many successful books to his name, Henry Mintzberg is suprisingly wide and creative in his use of other forms of content, such as video, in his mission to make complex ideas accessible. I particularly love the 'Irene question': what can YOU do to drive social change - within your personal life, community, business, government, even on a global scale? It's a profound inquiry that challenges us to consider our own role in shaping a better world. This conversation felt like an uplifting, enlightening, mind-expanding gift: I hope you feel that way too.

In this episode of "The Lazy CEO Podcast," host Jim Schleckser explores the complex and often misunderstood world of strategic thinking and execution. He begins by highlighting the sobering statistic that over 50% of strategies fail due to poor execution or deployment. Schleckser emphasizes that strategic planning and execution should not be viewed as separate processes but as a unified one, drawing on insights from thinker Henry Mintzberg. Schleckser argues for the effectiveness of small, strategic teams in organizational planning, suggesting that the ideal group size is around 5 to 9 people. He stresses the importance of including team members who are deeply connected to market conditions and internal capabilities rather than just those with high-ranking titles. He advocates for system thinkers who can understand complex interdependencies within the organization and the broader market.

Dieser Podcast betrachtet das Beispiel des effizienten Orchesters aus Hery Mintzbergs neuem Buch "Understanding Organizations … finally!" aus dem Blickwinkel der Internen Revision. So wie man Organisationen nicht alle über einen Kamm scheren darf, dürfen wir auch nicht alle Prüfungen über einen Kamm scheren. Daher habe ich das Konzept der verschiedenen Prüfungskategorien entwickelt, das Sie sich in Folge #231 anhören können. Doch dieses Beispiel umfasst auch die Haltung, mit der Beobachtungen, Beurteilungen und Bewertungen vorgenommen werden. Daher habe ich folgende Fragen an uns Interne Revisor:innen: - Beobachten wir etwas tatsächlich aus verschiedenen Perspektiven, oder gehen wir mit einem einseitigen Blick in unsere Prüfung? - Meinen wir, etwas zu wissen und gute Ratschläge geben zu können? - Wissen wir es wirklich? - Kennen wir den jeweiligen Kontext? - Bleiben wir neugierig? - Bleiben wir offen für weitere Perspektiven? - Beobachten wir wirklich objektiv? Ich wünsche Ihnen viel Spaß beim Zuhören und erfolgreiche Prüfungsprozesse!

Als ich zur Jahrtausendwende in der Internen Revision begann, bestand die Anforderung, dass alle Prüfungsergebnisse vergleichbar und unabhängig davon, wer prüft, identisch sein müssen. Das Problem dabei ist, dass man die Annahme hatte, dass unsere Prüfungstätigkeit wie in einer Fabrik linear-kausal abgewickelt werden kann. Meine sehr erfahrenen Revisionskollegen fanden das nicht gut, fanden aber keine rationalen Erklärungen für ihr negatives Bauchgefühl. Mit den von mir entwickelten Prüfungskategorien, die ich Ihnen im Podcast #231 vorgestellt habe, kann man die Probleme dieser Annahme auch auf der rationalen Ebene erklären. Viel allgemeiner erklärt es Henry Mintzberg in seinem neuen Buch „Understanding Organizations … finally!“ Ich kann es jedem Revisor und jeder Revisorin nur empfehlen. Denn nur wer Organisationen versteht, kann die Angemessenheit ihrer Governance beurteilen. Folgendes Zitat bringt es auf den Punkt: „Perhaps nothing has broken the spirit of our professional services more than these imposed technocratic fixes.“ Die erfahrenen Prüfer bekamen auf die Nase, wenn sie vom vordefinierten technokratischen linear-kausalen Weg abwichen – auch wenn sie sensationelle Feststellungen hatten. Sie durften ihre Prüfernase nicht mehr zum Einsatz bringen! Sie mussten nach Schema F vorgehen. Nicht in jedem Kontext ist ein linear-kausales Prüfungsvorgehen sinnvoll. In anderen Kontexten muss man anders vorgehen. Dann kann die Prüfernase wieder zum Einsatz kommen! Ich wünsche Ihnen viel Spaß beim Zuhören und erfolgreiche Prüfungsprozesse!

In this episode, the iconic and world-renowned management expert Henry Mintzberg shares his wisdom on issues of management, organisations and how society needs rebalancing. More than this, Henry generously reflects on his own working methods and approaches, which gives a fascinating insight into his success.    When asked by Simon how he sees things that others don't see, Henry points to his hero, the boy in the Hans Christian Anderson story who told the truth to the crowd that the emperor was naked. This is Henry's perceptive gift, to see what others don't see, or what they don't want to see.   His first success was the book, 'The Nature of Managerial Work'. Henry observed what 5 CEOs actually did at work. This research found that the widely accepted idea that the manager's role was to plan, organise, coordinate & control, was false. By setting out what they actually did, Henry's observations had a major impact on how we think about management. Henry doesn't think he is particularly creative, nor is he a contrarian as some claim, he believes he is perceptive and reports what he sees. Much of Henry's management education approach places observation at the heart of the work; Henry quotes the baseball coach Yogi Berra, who said, ‘You can observe a lot just by watching'. Alongside his strength of perception, his other self-identified strength is to be able to reframe. He reframed strategy from being an exercise of future planning to learning and emergence, and he reframed management education as social learning.   Henry strongly challenges the MBA as “training the wrong people, in the wrong ways with the wrong consequences”. Henry believes management is a mixture of art, science and craft, and yet the MBA focuses only on the science. Challenged to address this deficit in management education, Henry alongside colleague Jonathan Gosling and others, created the International Masters in Practicing Management (IMPM), which aimed to rethink management training, placing learning from practice, and learning from each other at the heart of this work. Rebalancing society is Henry's latest passion, where he realises that we are stuck on thinking about two sectors, how the private and public work, but a vital third sector sits outside the other two, which he calls the plural sector. This is made up of those organisations, not private, or public i.e. NGOs, foundations, universities, charities, community groups, non-profits, etc. The plural sector is a vital part of society, and we are presently way out of balance. Henry's latest book is titled Understanding Organisations…Finally! This is a deeply insightful podcast that we are sure you will both learn from and enjoy! Short Bio Henry Mintzberg is a writer and educator, mostly about managing originations, developing managers, and rebalancing societies (his current focus). After receiving his doctorate from the MIT Sloan School of Management, he has made his professional home in the Desautels Faculty of Management at McGill University in Montreal, where he sits in the Cleghorn Chair of Management Studies, with extensive stints along the way in England and France. He has authored 21 books which have earned him 21 honorary degrees and an officership in the Order of Canada. He publishes a regular blog, a collection of which was published as Bedtime Stories for Managers. He co-founded the International Masters Program for Managers (impm.org) and the International Masters for Health Leadership (mcgill.ca/imhl) as well as CoachingOurselves.com, all novel initiatives for managers to learn together from their own experience.

Welcome to episode #894 of Six Pixels of Separation - The ThinkersOne Podcast. Here it is: Six Pixels of Separation - The ThinkersOne Podcast - Episode #894. When you live in a city like Montreal, you often get introduced to people who have both "done the work" and are eager to stay connected. A long while back, I had the pleasure of meeting Professor Karl Moore. And, over the years, we have become friends who often run into one another on the streets of Montreal. With a distinguished position at McGill University's Desautels Faculty of Management and over 25 years as a Fellow at the University of Oxford, Dr. Karl Moore is no stranger to the leadership pulse of today's world. His interaction with CEOs and the new-gen leaders, the millennials and Gen Zs, is not just cursory — it's insightful. Karl's exploration into the world of CEOs started with his Ph.D., leading him to study leadership dynamics and strategic evolution. His McGill MBA course, CEO Insights, has become a unique conduit for 31 CEOs to share wisdom each fall, morphing over eight years into the highly-acclaimed The CEO Series on Bell Media's CJAD radio station. These engaging one-on-one interviews with prominent CEOs find their way into Forbes and Les Affaires, magnifying his reach and insight. Having collaborated with the legendary Henry Mintzberg for two decades on various leadership programs and having seasoned his expertise with eleven years at IBM and Hitachi, Karl's journey into academia reflects depth and innovation. His five-year faculty stint at Oxford's Said Business School adds another rich layer to his profile. Karl recently published his tenth book, Ok Boomers - Working with Millennials and Zs - a discerning look into the dynamic between generations in leadership. His subsequent work, We Are All Ambiverts Now, based on over 750 interviews with C-suite executives, promises to continue the conversation. His recent talk at Harvard and annual teaching at Stanford stand as testimonials to his profound impact on business thinking. Karl's nomination for the Thinkers50 Distinguished Achievement Awards in the Leadership Category acknowledges him as a leading thinker in his field. In the panorama of business leadership and academia, Karl stands as a thought leader, bridging generational insights and pioneering change. Let's dig deep into the world of business, our economy and culture. Enjoy the conversation... Running time: 1:00:06. Hello from beautiful Montreal. Subscribe over at Apple Podcasts.

If fewer people are buying and reading books, why should a thought leader write one? Today we delve into the world of authorship and publishing with Henry Mintzberg. Henry is a Cleghorn Professor of Management Studies at McGill University and the author of more than 20 books including Managers Not MBAs: A Hard Look at the Soft Practice of Managing and Management Development and Simply Managing: What Managers Do - and Can Do Better. Our conversation starts by discussing where you find the value in writing a book. Whether it be the intrinsic value of codifying your thought leadership or the extrinsic value of higher engagement and client acquisition. Henry shares with us his compulsion to write books, regardless of if they succeed or not. He discusses how a few newer books have not done as well as expected and how difficult topics like climate change might play a part in those results. When publishing about important, but hard topics that many would rather not think about how do you get your message out?  Henry talks about expanding into new modalities to capture the audience's attention and how hard it is to get uninterrupted attention for your topic.  He explains how interruption is just one of the reasons a book can have a bigger impact than articles, even if the book reaches only a fraction of the audience a short-form piece might. Three Key Takeaways: ·         Reaching ten thousand people with a book can be far more influential than reaching one hundred thousand people with an article. ·         A publication date is not a measurement of value.  Many books continue to be relevant years after their publication. ·         Do what is in your heart.  Don't let anyone talk you into something else because you will end up doing it badly.

A New Way to Think Over 300 episodes ago we were joined by Roger L. Martin to talk about ideas from his book The Opposable Mind. In the years since, I have personally benefited from Roger's insights in books such as The Design of Business and Creating Great Choices. Roger joins us again in this episode to talk about his newest book entitled A New Way to Think: Your Guide to Superior Management Effectiveness. If you just glanced at the book, you might think it's only relevant to CEOs and other top leaders. But there are ideas in this book that anyone leading projects and teams would benefit from. In this episode, Roger discusses the value and pitfalls of following popular models. He shares insights on why we need to get closer to the customer and how one of his friends and co-authors did that as CEO of Proctor & Gamble. You'll hear Roger explain why the familiar solution usually trumps the perfect one and why we just might make better decisions if we focus on what must be true instead of what is true. We talk about all that and more--it's a conversation I've been looking forward to sharing with you for many weeks. Learn more about Roger and his books at RogerLMartin.com.

How has management thinking changed in the past 50 years and where might management be headed today? In his research and writing, management scholar Henry Mintzberg covers not only the past 50 years but looks toward the future of managing organizations, developing managers, and rebalancing society, from business to politics to higher education.In a big-picture Delve podcast on crucial management, leadership, and organizational issues, Desautels Professor and preeminent management scholar Henry Mintzberg talks with Desautels Professor and Delve Editor-in-Chief Saku Mantere. Their conversation launches the fourth season of the Delve podcast, dedicated to thought leadership and critical thinking in management research at the McGill Desautels Faculty of Management.Mintzberg changed the management landscape with his concepts of strategies being something that people did together in organizations, that strategies could emerge from collective learning rather than be prescribed as formal models, explains Mantere, whose own work focuses on strategic organizations and change.“Strategies are learned: you try things, you do different things, you hit something, you discover something you didn't expect,” says Mintzberg. In recent years, Mintzberg has expanded his research to explore broader, timely, and pressing societal questions that tackle climate change, education, political divides, and social inequities. As Mantere explains in his introduction to the podcast, Mintzberg's research showed that strategy emerges not only within organizations but between organizations of very different kinds—NGOs, firms, policy organizations, governments—all these have to come together if we think about these grand challenges of society.Read more on Delve and read the transcript.

As Cal Ripken is to baseball, Mitch Joel is to podcasting. Ripken is the hall of fame baseball shortstop who played 2,632 consecutive games over more than 16 years. He never missed a game for injury, personal reasons, etc. Joel, the influential speaker, author and blogger, is the Iron Man of podcasting. He started his Six Pixels of Separation podcast back in 2005 to complement his daily blog. Since then, he has published a new interview with luminaries like Seth Godin and Henry Mintzberg every single Sunday since then. No breaks or holidays! On episode 15 of the Informational Interview 2.0 podcast, he shared how this creation of consistent content took his career to new heights and has served as a source of learning. "I was asking questions that I would selfishly ask if I could have coffee with some of these authors,” Joel said. “It was education for me. I wanted to learn. I wanted to understand. If I felt I had a particular perspective, I wanted to have it challenged. In that journey of a content creator I learned a lot. I found it stimulating and it spoke to my core.” Godin has been on the Six Pixels of Separation podcast eight times. “There would be no Mitch Joel without Seth Godin,” Joel said. Also noteworthy are his interactions with Nancy Duarte and hearing her thoughts around delivering keynote presentations. “Any time I speak to her I feel there are 50 things I should be rethinking and doing.” In the process of creating content, Joel was able to lead his agency to new heights. It led to opportunities to speak in front of thousands of individuals and then additional collaboration possibilities for his agency, which he ultimately sold in 2017. "I thought there was an easier way to sell which would be to bang a drum by creating content,” he said. On the episode, Joel also offered advice for students and young professionals on communications and career development. As a former journalist in the music industry, he warns against creating content for the sake of it and just adding to the noise. Using social media to create a portfolio of work is important. He advises to consider the following four questions: - Do you understand how to communicate? - Do you have an area you want to communicate in - written, video - what does that look like? - Do you understand the platforms? - Do you understand what communication looks like with what social media is today? He also thinks emphasis should be put on presentation of ideas. “We are recording this on Election Day in the United States,” he said. “Regardless of who you are voting for, the candidates have an ability to stand up and express themselves. I do believe the ability to stand up and cogently share a concept with a group is incredibly powerful.” The Informational Interview 2.0 Podcast is brought to you by the Global Innovators Academy's "Interview an Innovator" course experience and by Career Path Writing Solutions.
