In Sooner Safer Happier: Antipatterns and Patterns for Business Agility by Jonathan Smart, Zsolt Berend, Myles Ogilvie, and Simon Rohrer, each chapter’s essence is distilled into guiding principles, to guide behavior and the millions of decisions that we make every day. For example, “Invite over Inflict” and “One Size Does Not Fit All.” They apply across contexts.
Specific practices emerge by applying the principles to a unique context and by using coaching and experimentation, leveraging many bodies of knowledge. As Dan Terhorst-North has said: “Practices = Principles + Context.”
The successful pattern is to identify the top ten or so principles that you feel are most important to encourage across your organization, communicate them relentlessly, and recognize behaviors in line with them. They are positive behavioral guardrails.
The intentionally long list provided in the book and below is intended to help you get started. The principles themselves are self-referential. You are invited to use them, and there is no one size fits all. Your context and impediments will determine which are more important to encourage.
For an enhanced experience, we’ve created two downloadable posters to help remind you of the #BVSSH Principles. Click the pictures below for free downloadable versions.
