The AgileToCMethod (ATM)

Hello again!

Today I am proud to share (or, reshare) something that I’ve been working on for the last couple of years. Or - depending on how you look at it - the last 40 years.

It’s kinda, but not quite, the sum of my life’s work.

It’s called the AgileToCMethod.

Or the ATM, which (not coincidentally) makes it sound like a money machine.

Here it is in all its 46-word glory:

Here’s a simpler version, with less frills, and only 19 words:

It’s time to elaborate!

But, I don’t want to overwhelm you with detail so, today, all I’m gonna do is ask you to take a quick look at the centre of the diagram, and notice the 2 words in the middle:

The purpose of the ATM is to create a thriving workplace - one that is:

• profitable,
• calm, and
• productive
• all at the same time.

That’s the sorta place I want to work.

I believe that EVERYONE who works hard DESERVES to work in a thriving workplace.

Good for them, good for their customers, good for their shareholders.

Good for managers. Good for non-managers.

Unfortunately, most hardworking people don't get to work in a place where they fell like they're thriving. Which sucks for them. And ... it's bad for business.

Less joy. Less profits.

Lose-lose.

On a more personal note:

• As I’ve mulled over the ATM,
• I’ve?realised?that creating thriving workplaces
• is?my personal & professional purpose.

Odds are, since you’ve read this far, I suspect you’re similarly wired.

If you have a moment … and want me to share more ... please add a comment, or a like, or send me a message.

The feedback is the fuel that inspires me to keep writing, and without it ... I'd have to rely on willpower, which is in short supply!

Yours ... Clarke - the “debottleneck guy” - Ching
