A new culture of relationships and aliveness
summary
The talk examines how lack of relational culture and personal vitality makes organizations unagile, arguing that liveliness arises from encounters that foster self-responsibility and creativity. It discusses how digitalization expands human capacities but also enables destructive control—which harms agility unless control is embedded in personal relationships—and proposes cultivating a new relationship-and-vitality culture in companies. Finally, it explores how individuals (managers, Scrum Masters, Agile Coaches) can run personal retrospectives, offering examples of using retrospectives for individual learning and reflection.
