Case Study Zappos

The culture of delivering WOW experience in Zappos

During our trips we always try to visit companies known for their unique culture and way of working. You might have read the stories from Toyota and Mazda factories from our stay in Japan. This time, we had a chance to spent almost two hours in Zappos headquarters in Las Vegas, NV. As there was no one else in our group except us, we could get answers to all our questions.

ABE Light 19 | Jurgen De Smet | Why Should Most Organisations Ditch Scrum!

I see Agile being used as synonym of Scrum even though Agile is more of an umbrella where Scrum is just one flavour of getting there. Many inquiries show that Scrum is the most used Agile flavour in the world and I’m here to tell you to stop that movement unless you truly mean it. Let me guide you through some basic elements and help you evaluate if you and your organisation should ditch Scrum or not. Help you recognise if you are truly a Scrum Master or rather a Scrum Novice. And much more.

Agile Warsaw | Arne Ahlander | Agile Lean Leadership

Many talented and qualified people have attempted to come up with a consolidated view of how organizations should be modeled and behave in order to best reap the benefits we now know can be reaped at the team or project level. Terms like “Management 3.0”, “Radical Management” and “Fourth generation Management” are swarming the Internet. Does the world really need yet another definition? How come we – three humble Scrum trainers from Scandinavia – think we can make a difference? And what is that difference?
