The seven teams, which were formed on Friday evening, worked on the following topics:

The overall motto of the retreat was "Mindset over practice". This was based on the fact that many agile coaches see the need for companies not only to make individual departments or teams agile, but also to move the entire company more and more towards self-organization. However, this will only work if the corresponding mindset is present in the company and agility is not simply a "practice". In this context, the topic of what "agile leadership" can look like in such a company and how to manage the "change" in the desired direction is a perennial issue.

The organizers set a tight schedule with a total of 24-hour sprints, reviews and, of course, retros. As a welcome change of pace and to be able to discuss topics with colleagues that were not covered by the teams, there was an open space on Saturday afternoon that extended into the evening. The beautiful surroundings and good luck with the weather provided many good opportunities to work outside.

My conclusion

I not only got to know the Lean Change Model, but also applied and internalized it together with my team members. It is the transfer of lean principles to change processes, published by Torsten G. Scheller. We discovered that it doesn't matter where you start in the cycle, with the change canvas or with the options, for example, because the iteration ultimately brings together all the information you need.
It was incredibly fruitful to think through this cycle for various change projects in the group. That's why one of the strongest impulses I take with me into my everyday life is to look for a group of interested people in which we can support each other in thinking through our change projects using this method and finding suitable MVCs (minimal viable change).
