How does mindfulness fit into agility? How to involve ethics, development of consciousness and mindfulness into reaching higher levels of agility? When you're aiming to become more agile, mindfulness becomes of significance.
I've been practicing mindfulness for over 10 years and know of the powerful benefits this practice brings into daily life, including work and private life. The ability to observe inner and outer phenomena and to observe the underlying patterns improves vastly with these practices. This is especially of great help within agile environments.
Aligning inner motives and inspiration with outer actions becomes a more prominent aspect when gaining conscious awareness.
Making high level organisational changes, redefining the vision, goal and mission are important ingredients for attaining higher levels of agility, where mindfulness practices are key for addressing blind spots, tensions and blockages. In order to let the intended change flow throughout the organisation optimally without much (c)overt obstructions.
Sustainability, kindness and friendliness are some of the ingredients of mindfulness. How to incorporate these into business ethics of your organisation? How to make use of these practices to enhance your agile organisation? In need of reflecting your organisational changes mindfully? Get in touch!
