What is the one thing that can truly enable individuals and teams to collaborate and innovate with agility?

Technology companies claim that you need the latest and greatest tools while consultants say you need a rigid process of best practices. These things will make a difference but they are useless without a culture that promotes the right principles.

Much can be learned from successful teams in other domains such as jazz, basketball, and even special forces military units. In all of these fields, multi-disciplined teams integrate innovative contributions from highly capable individuals into group and individual behaviors. They improvise and act with true agility when the path forward is unknown or unexpected challenges arise.

To ensure success, they apply key principles:

  • Employ just enough rules to support autonomy while avoiding chaos
  • Establish a groove to maintain momentum and synchronize efforts
  • Act supportively and transparently to cultivate trust and respect
  • Exchange ideas to realize the benefits of diverse skills

In this web seminar, jazz musician and IBM software development manager Adrian Cho describes the ways in which software developers can learn from jazz musicians and great performers in other domains. If you missed Adrian’s keynote at the Agile Development Practices Conference in Orlando, here’s a chance to catch his command performance.

Presenter: Adrian Cho (LinkedIn profile) – Software Development Manager, Collaborative Lifecycle Management Project, IBM

With twenty-three years in consulting, research and development, finance, and intellectual property, Adrian Cho helps teams deliver innovative solutions on time. Adrian Cho is well-qualified to draw parallels between the worlds of jazz, business, and software. A leader and innovative collaborator in the arts, he performs as a bassist and conductor and directs the Ottawa Jazz Orchestra, a unique, critically acclaimed symphonic jazz ensemble that brings together an impressive array of professional jazz and symphony musicians. His book, The Jazz Process: Collaboration, Innovation, and Agility, has been endorsed by a diverse collection of thought leaders. Reviewers have praised the book as “a deep exploration of collaborative know-how” and “a concept of leadership and teamwork that’s well suited for the Google-age workplace.” Mr. Cho serves as an invited expert on the Eclipse Foundation IP Advisory Committee, and was a recent keynote speaker at the Agile Development Practices Conference in Orlando, Florida.
