Synopsis

In an increasingly complex world, being agile means continuously adapting and evolving with fluidity, thanks to a high-quality dialogue between our identity and our environment. Agility reconnects us with life; we gain freedom and elegance. This book answers questions such as:

  • How can we improve our ability to sense weak signals, strategize and then act accordingly?
  • Is management (the social technology of the industrial world) dead? How should it evolve?
  • How can we effectively mobilize people and develop a context favourable to adaptation and innovation?
  • What must be organized for self-organization to flourish?
  • How do ants, bees, or schools of fish self-organize?
  • What can we learn from Nature in its ability to evolve?
  • How can Chinese thought and Taoism help us navigate in a complex world?
  • What do Nietzsche, Montaigne or Leibniz have to say about Agility?
  • What can we learn from the French and English approaches to gardens?
  • How can we better go with the flow?
  • In essence, how can we better dance with Life?
Guiding you through mental models and practices to become agile at a both individual and collective level, nurtured by multiple sources, this book provides a holistic perspective to provoke your thought and encourage you to act and start dancing.
  • “Dancing with Life” is a reference book about Agility and is used by AGILEmaker consultants to guide and support organisations in their Agility journey.
  • It pictures a coherent universe, both philosophical (inspired by Nature, Chinese thought, sport, etc) and practical (containing numerous innovative frameworks and models).
  • It provides agility practitioners and leaders with a robust and inspiring framework, as well as anybody looking to approach life with more freedom and elegance.
