Every enterprise needs to transform and become business agile. Flow is a handbook for how to go about finding that elusive business agile culture. The book is a step-by-step digital transformation guide, showing you how to become more collaborative, inventive and slicker at delivering the right products to your customers. Flow recasts agility as a core business requirement and shows you how to get there using techniques that the authors have pioneered through their own customer-centric, highly visual, collaborative and interactive techniques. Give your career a boost by learning about the latest ways to organise innovation. Whether you are in marketing, HR, software engineering or in business innovation, you will find the techniques outlined in Flow the most up-to-date account of new ways to work. Flow is a customer centric, visual, and enjoyable way to work with the emphasis on developing stronger social interaction and collaboration skills. And that goes for leaders as much as for people further down the ladder. The book's lessons are drawn from real examples and practices of organisations that have undertaken digital transformations. Its authors are pioneers of Flow practices who helped digital transformation become reality. In this book they set out lessons learned in a highly illustrated, wonderfully designed book that is easy to read and packed with information on how transformative organisations now work. You should buy Flow if: <li>You are participating in any transformation activity</li>
<li>You work in a fast paced innovative workplace</li> You want to understand advances in agile as a practice<li>You want to enhance your career by learning more about the future of agile in business</li>
<li>You want to broaden your skills and become a leader in agile transformation</li>
 It is written for: <li>Business leaders who need to work on agile transformation</li>

<li>Digital marketers</li>

<li>Business analysis's who want to re-engage with customers</li>

 Flow should be read in conjunction with 12 Steps to Flow, a primer on each of the steps necessary to create a digital and agile culture. It helps large enterprises prepare for this essential change. But uniquely for a business book it does so through highly graphical illustrations that reflect a core message of the book: visualise everything. It will teach you how to accelerate the pace and scope of innovation by integrating Agile and Lean methodology with new principles of continuous innovation. Benefit from: <li>Ultra-short cycle times; </li>
<li>More value, less waste; </li>
<li>Startup-style pivot ability;</li>
<li>Process innovation at pace. </li>
 But more than anything else realise the benefits of an engaged, committed and value-centred workforce. On the other hand if you are a scrum master, agile coach or business analyst, tester, engineer or architect, or a product owner you will learn how to improve your job skills and your career opportunities.

Flow: A Handbook for Change Makers

This book is a must read for anybody in the agile community who is involved in digital transformation or anybody wishing to acquire agile skills to support the change management process. It is particularly suitable for project managers who need to loosen the reins as transformation takes place. The book is a companion book to the authors' widely praised Flow: A Handbook for Change-Makers. Flow takes the principles of the agile manifesto and provides a light framework for teams and enterprises to reach agile objectives: engaging people in creative collaboration, "being agile" rather than just trying to do agile; and creating value. Flow is an extension of the skills offered in scrum and Kanban training, particularly the new Scrum Kanban Flow, but will also appeal to colleagues in digital marketing, innovation and strategy. New ways to work involve everybody in learning new skills. It will enhance the career prospects and business understanding of project managers, scrum masters, agile coaches, business analysts and product owners as well as software engineers and developers.12 Steps to Flow is designed to help people to improve their careers in the agile enterprise. Whereas Flow: A Handbook for Change-Makers explained what needs to change in the modern enterprise particularly in the way IT and software relate to and work with the business, 12 Steps tells you the how. It is literally 12 steps to enterprise agility and personal growth. "In the race for agile transformation somebody has to spell out what the enterprise looks like once many more people are empowered. At last, in Flow we have that document and with it the start of a movement for a new way to work. Shaughnessy and Goulding use very practical examples to show us how self-organising, empowered teams can go about co-designing the best way to get work done. Innovation becomes Flow, the enterprise becomes agile." Peter Hinssen, author The Day After Tomorrow
