What we are learning from these stories? What we are copying?
Let’s talk about learning
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
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
Draw in this area the learning process used to build/choose/learn that specific agile practice.
Was the process prescriptive or emergent?
As a client I feel frustrated when a software dev company
deliver to me a bunch of useless features because it

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

Side-effect:
1. Client is disturbing the team2. Client is not comfortable
with failure3. Client says she has noavailability to be part of

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."
