  3. The Incredible Story of Deft (2nd ed.)
    The Incredible Story of Deft (2nd ed.)
    Buzzwords, Blunders, and Better-Work Myths (Lean, Agile, etc.)
    Isaak Tsalicoglou

    Ever seen a “game-changing” corporate initiative kick off with fanfare, only to tangle employees in a baffling array of buzzwords, then gradually stagnate, and eventually fade away into obscurity—no change, no improvement, no lessons learned? The Incredible Story of Deft (2nd ed.) lays bare the dirty secret tanking most change efforts: overhyped frameworks, mental models, and “miracle cure” certifications that are as ill-timed as they are ultimately useless—except for adorning a CV and fluffing CVs and propping up pretenders who swear they’ve cracked how work “should” be done through allegedly valuable, rare, and inimitable knowledge with a mystical air. Marvel, rage, scoff, laugh (or cry, or both) by observing the interactions of fun characters at a 2-day workshop that aims to train the employees of the fictional Betovlax Corporation on the perils of Deft.
