Agile at Scale - October 2025 - Sense-Making is the New Change Management

When you separate the signal from the noise, it’s obvious that having the ability to separate the signal from the noise is the only thing that matters when it comes to change. We live in a noisy, quick-fix, instant gratification world and when change isn’t happening the way we think it should be happening we want the next quick fix even though deep-down we know it won’t work. In this session we’ll explore the Six Big Ideas of Adaptive Organizations which may or may not help you help your organizations understand what’s really going on so you can make a more conscious choice about how to move change forward. Perhaps I shouldn’t say ‘may or may not’ and fill you with the same BS you can find all over LinkedIn. But I won’t do that. Meaningful change is hard and the last thing we all need is another bag of magic beans. Speaker: Jason Little Jason began his career as a web developer when Cold Fusion roamed the earth.
