transform together – das Podcast-Meetup rund um Transformation

Johannes Schartau, Holisticon

Die Welt verändert sich rasant: KI revolutioniert Arbeitsplätze, hybride Teams werden zur Norm, und Unternehmen müssen gleichzeitig nachhaltiger und effizienter werden. Viele Organisationen wissen, dass sie sich anpassen müssen – aber wie? Transform together liefert die Antworten. Konkrete Werkzeuge statt theoretischer Konzepte. Praxiserprobte Methoden von Expert*innen, die sie wirklich umgesetzt haben. Und eine Community von Menschen, die gemeinsam vorangehen. In einer einzigartigen Mischung aus Podcast und Meetup spricht Holisticons Transformationsexperte Johannes Schartau mit inspirierenden Gästen, während die Live-Teilnehmenden das Gelernte direkt im Anschluss anwenden und diskutieren können.

    Track Success Using Evidence-Based Management

    In this episode of transform together, Johannes Schartau talks to Simon Flossmann about Evidence-Based Management, Scrum.org’s framework for connecting goals, measures, experiments, and actual value delivered. Many organizations are very good at producing output: more features, more projects, more initiatives, more meetings. But how do they know whether any of this actually creates value? Simon explains how EBM can help teams and organizations move beyond “we shipped it” and toward better conversations about customer outcomes, product value, learning, and decision-making. Together, Johannes and Simon explore what “evidence” means in the messy reality of product development, how EBM relates to Scrum, Product Goals and Sprint Reviews, and why measuring value can become deeply uncomfortable. They also talk about the difference between being busy and creating impact, why leadership often prefers opinions over evidence, and how teams can start small without turning EBM into another framework rollout. The conversation touches on current value, unrealized value, customer behavior, confidence in assumptions, outcome-oriented Product Goals, organizational change, AI transformations, and the awkward but necessary moment when evidence shows that something simply is not working. As always, the episode is both practical and reflective: less about installing a new method, and more about asking better questions. How do we know whether our product delivers value? What would change our mind? And what can we learn before we spend even more time building the wrong thing?

  2. How to Change An Organization Using Sociocracy 3.0

    How to Change An Organization Using Sociocracy 3.0

    In Episode 16 of transform together, Johannes Schartau talks to Lili David about Sociocracy 3.0 and how organizations can use it to evolve the way they collaborate, make decisions, and distribute authority. Lili explains S3 as a collection of patterns that help people respond to real organizational tensions, make collaboration more conscious and intentional, and improve the way work, responsibility, and decision-making are structured. Together, they explore why useful patterns alone are never enough, what happens when consent decision-making reveals hidden issues, why willingness and trust matter so much, and how organizations can make authority more explicit without simply flattening everything. Lili also shares how her own view of S3 has changed over the years, why she often avoids introducing the terminology directly with clients, and why asking “Do you have any objections?” instead of “Do you agree?” can already shift the quality of a conversation. A thoughtful and practical conversation for anyone interested in organizational change, self-organization, and more effective collaboration.

    Cost of Delay, Product Flow and the Role of AI

    In this episode of transform together, Johannes Schartau talks to Joshua Arnold about the shift from project thinking to real product flow and why that shift matters more than ever. Joshua explains why Cost of Delay is such a powerful way to understand value, urgency, and the hidden price of waiting, but also why organizations so often fall back into politics, overloaded priority lists, and “this comes from the top” decision-making. Together, they explore what gets in the way of better flow, how finance and funding models can become part of the solution, why ProductDevOps needs to connect fast delivery with fast learning, and how AI may change product development by making execution easier while putting even more pressure on good judgment. A practical conversation for anyone who wants to build the right things sooner instead of just delivering more things faster.

    The New Liberating Structures Menu

    For Episode 14 of transform together, Johannes Schartau talks to Keith McCandless, co-developer of Liberating Structures, about the biggest expansion of the Liberating Structures menu since the publication of The Surprising Power of Liberating Structures. Keith shares what has changed, why the new Liberating Structures Fieldbook brings the experience of the global practitioner community into the repertoire, and how ten new structures deepen the possibilities for working with groups, strategy, relationships, and change. The conversation also explores the principles behind Liberating Structures, the role of minimum specifications, the limits of traditional whole-system change, and why Keith believes real transformation starts by shifting the patterns of interaction at the smallest relational level. Along the way, Johannes and Keith discuss complexity, adjacent possibilities, Creative Commons, the future growth of the Liberating Structures repertoire, and the experiments in the global community that currently excite Keith most.

    Ein Metablick auf Transformation

    Transformation ist überall – aber warum fühlen sich so viele Veränderungsinitiativen trotzdem orientierungslos an? In dieser Episode von Transform Together spricht Johannes Schartau mit Dennis Willkomm darüber, wie sogenannte Metatheorien (insbesondere die integrale Theorie) helfen können, komplexe Veränderungsprozesse besser zu verstehen und zu gestalten. Dennis bringt eine ungewöhnliche Perspektive auf Organisationsentwicklung mit: Als Agile Coach, Führungskraft und Autor der „Roadmap durch die VUCA-Welt“ verbindet er Informatik, Psychologie und integrale Ansätze. Gemeinsam mit Johannes schaut er darauf, warum Transformationen oft nur an der Oberfläche stattfinden – und wie man tieferliegende Dynamiken in Organisationen erkennen kann.
