Rethink Reimagine Revitalize with Agile Kata
summary
A clear claim: three out of four transformations fail because culture doesn’t change, not because frameworks are wrong. The tool is Agile Kata: a deliberate practice pattern — identify a long‑range challenge, map current state, set a target condition, run rapid experiments — that rewires habits through repetition. Surprising numbers and examples show impact (75%+ failure rates reported; Netflix fixed a failed live event and delivered the next big stream weeks later). Materials: book and Agile Kata Couch Course are available.
