    Why Is Embedding Change So Tough And What To Do About It?

    In this episode of The Neurocast™️, Truthsayers®️ CEO, Simon Stapleton, talks to Mark Matheson, Agile Ways of Working Coach, about the challenges that leaders face when embedding change within an organisation. Mark Matheson has been working in change and transformation for 35 years. With certifications in SAFe and Scrum, and experience in Disciplined Agile Delivery (DAD), Mark understands the challenges that teams and enterprises face when looking to adopt Agile and then to embed it into the fabric of an organisation. Mark Matheson has been in technology, leading global IT projects for many years, starting as a Trainee Programmer straight out of school (which was little more than getting the tea and coffee for the teams at first), and eventually working his way to Software Engineer, Technical Lead,  Project Manager, Scrum Master and Agile Coach.  Despite the occasional foray into other sectors such as Telecoms, almost all of Mark's experience has been in Finance: 18 years Sell-Side (Investment Banking) and 17 years Buy-Side (Asset & Wealth Management). Within the conversation, Mark talks about Agile Management: Agile is an iterative approach to project managementAgile is about breaking large projects into smaller tasks that can be repeated, checked and refinedAgile helps teams to be flexible and deliver value to their customers faster and fewer headaches Mark also talks about a Taylorist approach. Named after Frederick W. Taylor, who in 1911 published 'The Principles of Scientific Management' and advocated developing a science for each element of the work. He suggested an almost equal division of the work and the responsibility with cooperation between the managers and the workers. ❇️  Find out more about Mark Matheson Please follow ➡️ like 👍 and share 🚀 content from Truthsayers®️ and The Neurocast™️ on our social channels - all our contact details are here: ❇️ https://linktr.ee/truthsayers ❇️

    Using Neuroscience To Unlock Capability For Change

    "Using the ideas of neuroscience and recognising that it is the brain of the person we are talking to - that's the real stakeholder - and therefore getting under the skin of what's happening and finding out how they're feeling is so important." How can we measure our Capability for Change? In this episode of The Neurocast™️ Cheryl Stapleton is joined by Andy Dean and Melanie Franklin to chat about why sometimes, despite our best efforts, change just doesn't happen quick enough, or doesn't achieve the results needed. Melanie talks to us about the work she is doing with senior leaders from global corporations to measure their capability for change. Her Enterprise Change and Transformation Survey provides deep insights into the obstacles that can arise during the change process. Turning to neuroscientific methods has been the key to Melanie's success, allowing her to help leaders unlock the real problems and begin to understand the emotive factors that can make or break the drive for change. Melanie Franklin is a highly respected thought leader in change management with an impressive track record of successful realisation of business change programmes across public and private sector organisations. Melanie is a consultant, speaker, author, Chief Examiner, Founder of the Continuous Change Community and Director of Agile Change Management.  Please follow ➡️ like 👍 and share 🚀 content from Truthsayers®️ and The Neurocast™️ on our social channels - all our contact details are here: ❇️ https://linktr.ee/truthsayers ❇️
