    Agile In 2026 – The 4 Pillars of Leadership
    2026/03/26
    The Real State of Agile in 2026 It’s been nine years since I started this show, and I can tell you this. Agile isn’t going anywhere. But man, has it ever changed shape. Agile in 2026 is barely recognizable from when I started. Our resumes are no longer welcome in recruiter inboxes. Funny, because what we were hired FOR has never changed. Businesses need to move the needle on metrics that count. I can’t offer you a new framework for doing that. I’m still doing amazing stuff that inspires me and exposes me to new challenges and people. What underpins my daily work are those agile principles that I’ve been practicing for 20 years now. The tribes mission is still clear. We build leaders who deliver what matters. We chase excellence. Fundamentals shape who we become, not just what we do. Agile in 2026 demands it. The Four Pillars of The Forge There’s four things I teach in The Forge that will make you badass no matter who you serve or how you serve them. Adopt and embrace these and you’ll be valuable in any market. What the industry decides to call you won’t matter. The impact that you make will still be distinct and distinguished. Vision leads. See ahead. Predict sentiments and shifts. Define a future others buy into. Action beats thinking every time Drop “until.” It stalls everything. Don’t wait for perfect. Make the call. Build the thing. Start the blog. Have lunch with the boss. Arnold Schwarzenegger nailed it – progress creates motivation. Small wins build momentum. Get rid of “should” too. It reeks of conformity. Society wants sameness and ceilings on weirdos. Fly your flag. And no judgment on others. Leaders honor choice. Check yourself if tempted to correct someone else’s lane. Resilience seals it. Fail fast. Learn faster. Agile teaches this, but resilience is the most uncommon quality in business. Post and see. No response? Pivot tomorrow. Continue failing and learning as your means to chase mastery The Show Pivots Yet Again Badass Agile will evolve yet again. Less talk about the job, and the framework. More real agility for a time that is moving at the speed of AI. Leadership: Vision. Discipline. Focus. Mastery. Leaders see voids. Followers wait.

  • Government Agility with Kevin Sutherland

    Government Agility with Kevin Sutherland
    2026/03/16
    Meet Kevin Sutherland of SI Delivery Consulting Kevin Sutherland is doing bold things to bring agile methods to large-scale government. He went from early days with Accenture, through first-hand experience with waterfall and the pitfalls of massive system delivery, to founding his own company focused on state-level innovation. Kevin isn’t just theorizing about agile transformation, he’s in the trenches, dealing with resistance, bureaucratic inertia, and public stakeholder pushback. Kevin discusses what makes public sector agile so distinct and challenging. What are the unique obstacles in government (political incentives, captive user bases, absence of commercial profit motives) that make scaling agile so complex? Regulation, oversight, legacy systems, and decades of policy layering are persistent blockers that most commercial agilists rarely encounter. Many true agile practitioners just avoid or walk away from government environments, choosing not to engage because the culture or ecosystem isn’t receptive. You’ll hear what Kevin is actually testing and using in a time when agile has become a dirty word in many orgs, and how he finds ways to deliver value without strictly using “agile” terminology or dogma. You’ll hear about the incremental approach and the transformational strategies he’s developing in Minnesota. You’ll also learn about the tension between short-term, emergency-driven bursts of agility and the longer, harder work of organizational transformation. His strategy in action starts with outcome-focused use cases, and creating a safe, incubator environment for experimentation to enable change without risking the status quo. Getting buy-in from the willing, finding pockets of urgency, and managing vendor relationships in environments where incentive structures aren’t naturally aligned are some of the ongoing challenges. Underlying everything is the growing pace of technological change, especially with AI reshaping expectations about speed and delivery. It’s difficult to know what agile principles look like when roles themselves are changing, and the fundamental problems aren’t getting better on their own. There are never simple answers, but Kevin’s work will give you a clearer sense of the complicated, often contradictory world of government agile and why persistence, honesty, and outcome orientation matter so much.

  • The Real AI Opportunity

    The Real AI Opportunity
    2026/03/03
    What’s the Real AI Opportunity? You know me. I think the AI thing is a bit of a sandstorm. A gold rush. There’s no question its useful (I use it for a ton of stuff actually) and there’s no question its only going to get better. But in the early stages of any new tech, there’s a lot of hype, a lot of bandwagon-joining, and a lot of waste. (Y2K? NFT’s? Anyone…?) What I can say for sure is there’s not a ton of benefit in building Custom GPT’s that will ‘replace what we do’. First of all…why would we hasten our own exit? But also, where’s the consistency of knowledge going to come from? The internet? The bad ideas peddled in certifications? Reddit? Then I hear there’s AI opportunity in binding and automating JIRA workflows, or even PO through development strands. Interesting ideas with no real contenders yet. But here’s what I DO know. Businesses, especially the biggest ones struggle with speed. They’re desperate to innovate – if only to beat their competitors to market. They have the best talent pools, and funds to build and experiment. They’re just no darned good at it. Same story. Silos, dependencies, lack of executive support, fear of failure, organizational inertia. And THAT growing distance between potential and capability is the real AI Opportunity. What Will Never Change AI will keep growing and shifting. The big surprises are still ahead of us. And you don’t need to call out what they are. What you need to recognize is that big groups of people are always slow to move. There’s a natural heaviness to large groups, and with only a few exceptions, they’re not nimble, or agile. It doesn’t matter what the next big thing is. ChatGPT went crazy almost overnight. I first heard about it early 2022 and its been all we’ve been discussing since. If it takes you 2 1/2 years to leverage the advantage, you’re behind. I’m not even sure people WANT to adopt AI that rapidly. Because in this moment, there’s a lot of fear hovering over job loss, ethical use and security. Which means the real AI opportunity will remain elusive to companies unless they learn how to manage that inertia. You could be helping them overcome that fear.
