Unfinished

Bottom line: every organization has a certain culture and to succeed in any endeavor, you need to understand the culture and the drivers behind any action,  and achieve unfinished work.

"Digital Master is a series of guidebooks (28 + books) to perceive the multi-faceted impact digital is making to the businesses and society, help forward-thinking organizations navigate through the journey in a systematic way, and avoid “rogue digital.”

 It perceives the emergent trends of digital leadership, provides advice on how to run a digital organization to unleash its full potential and improve agility, maturity, and provide insight about Change Management. It also instructs the digital workforce on how to shape a game-changing digital mindset and build the right set of digital capabilities to compete for the future. Here is a set of “Unfinished” quotes in “Digital Master.



It takes more engagement and retention initiatives, enforce training and development at every level in the organization to involve and engage, emerge and evolve, and continue the unfinished journey of digital transformation.

Finish redesigning old communication networks, reporting relationships, and build new connections. Provide for self-determination. Keep people involved and on track, maintain faithfulness to purpose, coordinate and integrate unfinished activities.

IT should partner with all the different functions of the business to bring up different perspectives as any business initiatives or reinvention efforts should have clear business goals, to provide business insight, implement unfinished processes, services, and solutions in new ways.

Bottom line: every organization has a certain culture and to succeed in any endeavor, you need to understand the culture and the drivers behind any action,  and achieve unfinished work.

Instead of simply saying that an assigned work was completed successfully, but giving time for evaluating how the work was achieved in terms of planning, use of available resources, clarity of direction, how teamwork was achieved (not only within a project but in using the knowledge/experience of other people), how the manager and the person involved worked in synergy, etc, to accomplish unfinished strategy implementation.

Organizations have limited resources and talent, change is never for its own sake, it is important to prioritize things, enforce communication and have the perseverance to work on unfinished activities, truly make the change happen and also sustain its effect.

In some situations the development team would like to reduce the functionality to build shippable product increment within the iteration. The question is how to decide if it is still valuable? Making the stories smaller and ordered in terms of value may help in such cases - the team should just make them one by one leaving the least valuable unfinished.
