Karen De Boeck is an agile and organizational coach dedicated to empowering individuals, teams, and organizations to enhance their effectiveness and achieve meaningful outcomes. She is passionate about guiding them in realizing their goals, identifying practical steps, and striking a balance between structured guidance and the freedom of self-organization. Together, they aim to produce results that they can take pride in.
During the conversation, Karen shared three areas of focus she combines to grow organizations to deliver successfully in a humanly sustainable way:
1. Use frameworks with a focus on value creation according to your purpose, and your ‘why’. As examples she mentions Scrum, Kanban, Scaled Agile, DevOps,…
2. Dare to adapt your organization structure and governance to enable a healthy balance between structure and self-organization. Examples here are Sociocracy 3.0 and Team Topologies. Whatever you focus on, grows. Actively build learning teams and a learning organization, adaptive for continuous change and increasing results.
3. Start where you are, two feet on earth, with respect and recognition of what works well. She shares examples based on positive psychology.
