Schröder A: The End of SOP

The End of SOP

Die 3. Revolution der Produktentwicklung

Agile Beyond Frameworks. Change Beyond Ceremonies.
Agile is everywhere. Effective agility is not.
Two decades after the Agile Manifesto, organisations still struggle to turn frameworks into real, sustainable change. Scrum is implemented. Kanban boards are visible. Ceremonies are running. Yet transformation stalls.

Why?
Because agility is not a process problem. It's a systems problem.
From Resistance to Resilience reframes Agile as a socio-technical discipline. Blending Agile and Lean thinking, Systems Thinking, real-world transformation experience, and AI-enabled practices, this book moves beyond rituals and tools to address what truly shapes outcomes: organisational dynamics, behaviour and incentives, feedback loops, leadership alignment, and cultural resistance.
Rather than prescribing another framework, it offers enduring principles to help leaders navigate uncertainty, complexity, and scale.
This is not a beginner's guide. It is written for experienced practitioners and transformation leaders: Scrum Masters, Agile Coaches, Product Owners, Project and Program Leaders, CTOs, senior managers, and organisational change practitioners.
If you are responsible for real delivery, not just ceremonies, this book speaks your language.

What You'll GainInsight into why Agile initiatives stall, and how to unblock them
Practical techniques for diagnosing root causes
Tools to align culture, structure, and delivery
Metrics that move beyond vanity reporting
Systems Thinking models for sustainable transformation
AI-supported approaches to coaching and facilitation
Ready-to-use templates and prompts



Inside the BookAgile fundamentals: clarified, not simplified
The human side of agility and team dynamics
Facilitation mastery for complex environments
Scaling frameworks examined critically
Agile metrics that actually matter
When Agile goes wrong, and why
Systems Thinking for real organisational change
Augmenting Agile with AI
Practical templates and actionable prompts



Drawing on decades of coaching experience across public and private sectors, this book integrates executive advisory, delivery leadership, and systems-based transformation practices. It is grounded in experimentation, reflection, and adaptation: the very principles Agile was meant to embody.
Agility is not about speed. It is about resilience.
If you are ready to move beyond "Agile in name only" and build adaptive, value-driven organisations, this book provides the clarity and tools to lead that shift.

From Resistance to Resilience

This book reinterprets the timeless strategic wisdom of Sun Tzu's The Art of War through the practical lens of modern project management. Each chapter pairs the original text with contemporary interpretations and actionable practice tips to help project leaders, managers, and teams navigate complexity, align stakeholders, manage risks, and deliver value efficiently.

The goal is not academic analysis, but usable insight: how ancient principles of deception, terrain, discipline, and timing apply directly to charters, RAID logs, governance, Agile iterations, stakeholder negotiations, and more.

Whether you work in corporate programs, tech delivery, or transformation initiatives, these interpretations aim to sharpen your strategic thinking and execution discipline.

Thank you for reading.

Zhi Sheng and Z. Dominguez

Was brauche ich, um die Produktion zu verbessern?
Wie behalte ich auf dem Shopfloor den Überblick?
Wo liegen die Probleme in der Fabrik wirklich?

Die Arbeit in der Produktion ist geprägt von Informationsflut und täglich neuen Problemen. Maßnahmen werden gestartet, Meetings geführt – und dennoch fehlt oft der Fokus. Aktionismus ersetzt Ursachenarbeit.

Shopfloor Management ist mehr als ein Fabrikrundgang. Es ist operative Führung am Ort der Wertschöpfung. Fokus und Struktur entscheiden darüber, ob Probleme aufgedeckt und Verbesserungspotenziale realisiert werden.

Genau hier setzt VALUE STOPS an. Die von Lukas Morys entwickelte Methode ist eine strukturierte Kreativitätstechnik für den Shopfloor. Sie bietet zehn klare Perspektiven für den Produktionsrundgang.

Weg von Kontrolle – hin zur Befähigung.
Weg von Brandbekämpfung – hin zu Ursachenarbeit.
Weg von isolierten Kennzahlen – hin zu den richtigen Fragen.

Eine kompakte, praxisgeleitete Methodik für Operationsverantwortliche und Produktionsleiter, die ihre Fabrik wirklich verstehen und konsequent weiterentwickeln wollen.

Worauf soll ich heute achten?
Where the VALUE STOPS!

Nutzen Sie das Wissen Ihrer Produktion mit Führungsmethoden, Kennzahlen und Digitalisierung

Management for Professionals

While tenders for IT managed services have evolved, key areas that drive significant business value for customers have seen limited improvement. When collaboration between IT service providers and customers stagnates, the next innovation cycle may not begin for another three years. In today’s fast-paced business environment, few industries can afford such delays. Adaptive IT tenders aim to shorten this cycle, with a stronger focus on innovation and collaboration. These approaches are not just suited to agile companies, but also to more traditional organisations.
This book provides all stakeholders involved in the tendering and management of IT services with a practical set of methods for adaptive tendering. Whether you are part of the executive board, management, a specialist department, IT, sales, purchasing, legal, consulting, or operations, the book offers in-depth guidance on adaptive strategies, comparing them to traditional approaches. Additionally, a glossary is included to ensure clarity and help close any knowledge gaps.

Management on the Cutting Edge

In his bestselling first book, Eric Siegel explained how machine learning works. Now, in The AI Playbook, he shows how to capitalize on it. “Eric Siegel delivers a robust primer on machine learning, the key mechanism in AI. A forward-looking, practical book and a must-read for anyone in the information economy.” —Scott Galloway, NYU Stern Professor of Marketing; bestselling author of The Four “An antidote to today’s relentless AI hype—why some AI initiatives thrive while others fail and what it takes for companies and people to succeed.” —Charles Duhigg, author of bestsellers The Power of Habit and Smarter Faster Better The greatest tool is the hardest to use. Machine learning is the world's most important general-purpose technology—but it's notoriously difficult to launch. Outside Big Tech and a handful of other leading companies, machine learning initiatives routinely fail to deploy, never realizing value. What's missing? A specialized business practice suitable for wide adoption. In The AI Playbook, bestselling author Eric Siegel presents the gold-standard, six-step practice for ushering machine learning projects, aka predictive AI projects, from conception to deployment. He illustrates the practice with stories of success and of failure, including revealing case studies from UPS, FICO, and prominent dot-coms. This disciplined approach serves both sides: It empowers business professionals, and it establishes a sorely needed strategic framework for data professionals. Beyond detailing the practice, this book also upskills business professionals—painlessly. It delivers a vital yet friendly dose of semi-technical background knowledge that all stakeholders need to lead or participate in machine learning projects, end to end. This puts business and data professionals on the same page so that they can collaborate deeply, jointly establishing precisely what machine learning is called upon to predict, how well it predicts, and how its predictions are acted upon to improve operations. These essentials make or break each initiative—getting them right paves the way for machine learning's value-driven deployment. A note from the author: The buzzword AI can mean many things, but this book is about the most vital use cases of machine learning,&nbsp;those designed to improve large-scale business operations—aka predictive AI or predictive analytics.

Mastering the Rare Art of Machine Learning Deployment

The AI Playbook, with a new preface by the author

Aprovechando las ideas de estos filósofos, aprenderás a mantener el control en la incertidumbre y la paz en medio del caos, al aplicar principios atemporales a tu negocio.

Real Stories, Practical Tips, and Hard-Learned Lessons in Agile

Confessions of an IT Scrum Master

If you’re tired of one-size-fits-all leadership advice—this book is for you. If you’ve ever been told that you don’t fit the mold. That you don’t look like a leader or act like a leader. That you’re too much, or maybe not enough. The Antihero Advantage gives you permission to throw conventional leadership wisdom out the window, trust your instincts, and stop performing for approval or to meet some unrealistic standard. Instead, you’ll learn how to transform your flaws, fears, and doubts into tactical advantages. Bestselling author, communication strategist, and founder of Art of Coaching Brett Bartholomew tells it straight: You become a more effective leader when you learn how to channel your darker impulses with awareness, discipline, and strategy. Because real change rarely comes from playing it safe or trying to fit a mold. Sometimes you have to be willing to be a misfit — an antihero. That means breaking a few rules, accepting that not everyone will like you, and developing the tools needed to handle difficult people and to face conflict in ways that drive progress. Modern leadership demands social agility, power fluency, and adaptability. The Antihero Advantage gives you the tools to operate in complex, morally gray environments without losing yourself in the process. Stop seeking approval. Stop waiting for certainty. Stop doubting yourself. Only then will you become the leader you were meant to be.
