Inside, you’ll discover:The Framework: How to run CollabAI sessions that compress weeks of work into hours.The Science: Why "System 2 Rituals" and psychological safety are the hard requirements for speed.The Scale: How to apply Joe Justice’s principles (Justice Boards & DSM) to run entire organizations without managers.The Future: How to transition safely to Agentic AI workflows using the Agion Pattern.Start optimizing the flow.

  2. User Needs Mapping
    Aligning Teams Around What Matters
    Rich Allen

    Most teams don’t suffer from a lack of effort—they suffer from a lack of alignment. Goals are misaligned, boundaries are unclear, and work often centres on internal priorities instead of user needs— resulting in frustration and delays. User Needs Mapping: Aligning Teams Around What Matters offers a practical, visual way to reconnect organisations with the people they serve. Instead of guessing at structure or copying someone else’s model, this book shows you how to expose hidden dependencies, identify genuine user needs, and make better choices about team design and responsibilities. Through real-world case studies and step-by-step guidance, you’ll learn how to navigate tensions between wants, needs, and feasibility, create clarity of purpose, and build teams that deliver meaningful outcomes. Whether you’re a leader, product manager, architect, or change agent, this book equips you to turn complexity into clarity and enable teams to flow faster—aligned around what matters.

  12. The Visual Coach Handbook
    Inspiring visual approaches for getting people from A to B
    Zhi Lee

    Written for facilitators or coaches who need situational pointers in workplace settings,"The Visual Coach Handbook" is: A quick reference with a theme-based lookup system. It contains inspiring real-world examples where simple visuals are used to create more engaging workshops, meetings, and higher quality conversations. I’m pretty proud of this book you're about to hold in your hands. In these pages, I’m sharing some really personal stories of how I’ve used visuals to coach myself and my teams through tough spots. My hope is that it inspires you to grab a pen or an iPad and use simple visuals to help others, and even yourself, get from where you are to where you want to be. I get asked a lot for templates of the visuals I use. This book is more than a dictionary of templates. It’s got the building blocks of visual coaching that will help you be a better: • Note-taker• Communicator• Worker / Contributor • Manager• Coach• Facilitator • Consultant
