PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
by Robert F. Snyder (Author)
Transcending Agile with Ruthlessness and Grace is the first book in the Innovation Elegance series. Although software is not what makes innovation difficult, innovators rely on software-centric methodologies. What makes innovation difficult is people: how we interact, govern, collaborate, or fail to collaborate. A people-centric methodology isn't shocking or revolutionary. It's just overdue.
This book explains how to adopt the metaphors of an expectation-setting factory and the performing arts (theater, improv, partner dance, and music). The series' second book explains how to adopt the metaphor of an asset portfolio - documentation that represents love letters that benefit your future team. The series' third book explains how to distinguish and navigate good, bad, and false leadership.
Innovation Elegance converts chaos and cruelty into discipline and empathy through familiar activities, habits, and language. Innovators will be able to crawl, walk, run adopting tools to shape culture, raise project success rates, and improve the employee experience. Instead of pursuing a competitive advantage, the frontier of innovation and your profitability pursues a collaborative advantage.
