Coal Miners, productivity and socio-technical teams
Ilan Kirschenbaum, Laurence Wood at Agile on the Beach 2019
Watch Ilam Kirschenbaum and Laurence Wood deliver a true story about a unique mining community and what it teaches us about creating a culture of productivity and hyper-productive teams at Agile On The Beach 2019. Together, Laurence and Ilan take a journey from the Yorkshire coal pits to today’s cross-functional, self-organised, highly motivated teams.
ILAN KIRSCHENBAUM - BIOGRAPHY
Ilan fell in love with programming at age 13, which naturally became his day job. Until one day he realised programming was not fun at a large, process-hungry, organisation. He then fell in love again with “programming” teams and organisations, the Agile way.
Ilan is a co-founder and agile coach at Practical Agile, an Agile consulting firm, and co-founder at Practical Software, a boutique software house. Ilan is a LeSS practitioner, a graduate of the Program of Organizational Development and Consulting in the Psychoanalytical-Systemic approach and a member of Ofek, Organization-Person-Group – the Israeli Association for the Study of Group and Organizational Processes.
