What we are learning from these stories? What we are copying?

Let’s talk about learning

If you promote prescriptive learning in the process

the product of learningit’s the result of a learning experience

the process of learningit’s what produces the learning experience itself

If you promote prescriptive learning in the process

You practice good/best practices here

the product of learningit’s the result of a learning experience

If you promote emergent learning in the process

the product of learningit’s the result of a learning experience

the process of learningit’s what produces the learning experience itself

If you promote emergent learning in the process

You practice emergent practices here

your agile practice is here

Emergent Practice

Expected Results:1. As we are validating client ideas

continuously we’re capable to identify and eliminate waste quickly;

2. When failing is inevitable the impact is small

3. The client feels part of the process

Final words

1) Identifying (and understanding) Self-organisation

2) Studying (and experimenting with) Self-organisation

3) Creating Self-organisation (artificial emergence)

“The history of emergence has entered a new phase in the past few years, one that should prove to be more

revolutionary than the two phases before it."
