The Creative Networker

jurgen appelo

I regularly speak at conferences and seminars, on a variety of topics. These include the following:

•• Agile Management•• Software Development•• Personal Development•• Systems Thinking•• Social Media•• Creative Networks

The places where I am invited to speak are usually all over the world.

My talks are always fun, inspiring, and well-rehearsed.

My presentation materials are hand-crafted and well-designed.

The evaluations for my talks are consistently high.

I am able to turn many different topics into professional and enjoyable sessions. These can last for 30, 60, or 90 minutes. Or, if you want, I can lead workshops of 3 to 4 hours on any of the topics listed above.

If you want to know more, contact me, and tell me what you would like me to talk about.

introduction

Jurgen Appelo calls himself a creative networker. But sometimes he’s a writer, speaker, trainer, entrepreneur, illustrator, manager, blogger, reader, dreamer, leader, freethinker, or… Dutch guy.

Since 2008 Jurgen writes a popular blog at www.noop.nl, covering the creative economy, agile management, and personal development. He is the author of the book Management 3.0, which describes the role of the manager in agile organizations. And he wrote the little book How to Change the World, which describes a supermodel for change management. Jurgen is CEO of the business network Happy Melly, and co-founder of the Agile Lean Europe network and the Stoos Network.

After studying Software Engineering at the Delft University of Technology, and earning his Master’s degree in 1994, Jurgen Appelo has busied himself starting up and leading a variety of Dutch businesses, always in the position of team leader, manager, or executive.

Nowadays he works full-time managing the Happy Melly ecosystem, developing innovative courseware, books, workshops, and events. But sometimes Jurgen puts it all aside to spend time on his ever-growing collection of science fiction and fantasy literature, which he stacks in a self-designed book case. It is 4 meters high.

When organizations adopt agile software development, not only developers and project managers need to learn new practices. Development managers and team leaders must also learn a different approach to leading and managing organizations.

champfrogs:moving people to action

speech

The number one issue that employees in agile organizations struggle with is “organizational culture”. The biggest challenge that managers of agile organizations struggle with is “change management”. It turns out that this is actually the same problem. Changing an organization’s culture, by changing people’s behaviors, is most successful when you target people’s intrinsic desires.

Using his own “champfrogs” model for intrinsic motivation, and with plenty of experience in social networks, Jurgen Appelo shows how you can get any colleague or customer to do what you want. ;-)

“Saw @jurgenappelo speak recently. Really liked the theme of personal responsibility in his presentation.Good stuff.”

Mike MacDonagh

HAPPY mellY

blueprint for a tribal business

speech

Happy Melly is a company built as a network of entities, connected through a Constitution, with regular gatherings on Skype. The network is led by a CEO who can be voted out any time. The only way for him to stay on top is to keep everyone’s trust. Every day.

Does a company really need a head office? The new organizational structure of the 21st century is the network, not the hierarchy. And the focus of management should be on leadership, not governance. But how can you organize this?

“Jurgen did a fantastic inspiring and interesting speech, which brought perspective to our internal ways or working in Nordea. I would recommend him any day, if you are looking for fun and inspiring input.”

Michael Poulsen, Nordea

“@jurgenappelo is a brilliant speaker! Enjoyed every minute of his session :o)”

Henrik Kniberg

Many people in the world don’t really like their jobs. And most organizations are not healthy. They are badly prepared for increasing complexity and changing environments. Complexity thinking suggests we should seek a diversity of conflicting perspectives. It explains that organizations need experiments. And it says most innovation happens by stealing and tweaking existing ideas. What organizations need is a “management workout”.

This session offers some practices that make employees happier and your organization healthier, using complexity thinking.

This session is aboutChange Management 3.0,a new change management“super model”.

“How do I make my managers more Agile?”“How do I convince people to start learning?”“How can I make customers more cooperative?”

When transforming organizations and other social systems we encounter obstacles. These obstacles often involve changing other people’s behaviors. Of course, we cannot really make people behave in a different way. But… we can certainly try!

“This presentation is simply awesome - visually appealing and the content is a compelling read. I wish there was a way to mandate that this presentation should be part of every manager’s required training!!”

Intrinsic motivation is the reason people get out of bed in the morning. Since people are the most important parts of an organization, managers must do all they can to keep people active, creative, and motivated. You will learn about the difference between extrinsic vs. intrinsic motivation, the ten intrinsic desires, and common techniques for understanding what is important to the people in your teams, such as one-on-one meetings, personal assessments, the 12 most important questions, and 360 degree evaluations.

Competence development is key when it comes to doing a good job. Teams are only able to achieve their goals if team members are capable enough, and managers must therefore contribute to the development of competence. You will learn how and when to apply the seven approaches of competence development, how to measure progress in a complex system, the effect of sub-optimization, and several tips for useful metrics.
