Menschgeist is a wordplay with Mensch (Human) and Zeitgeist.

Our activities serve individuals, and their interactions.

Our unique approach is called AO (agile organization).

“AO stands for Agile Organizations, which is a straightforward framework designed to help your organization experiment with agile practices.

Organizations operate similarly to social networks, after a few fundamental principles:

• Simple rules: The work game operates under very simple rules. The work and its environment can often be quite complex.
• Alignment: The way people coordinate and connect with one another is crucial.
• Cohesion: The factors that unite agents.
• Separation: The elements that distinguish agents from one another.”
• Avoidance: Make sure that every organization can prevent conflicts with other systems.

This picture depicts Mike Beedle. Mike was one of the authors of the Agile Manifesto for Software Development. He was also the co-author of Agile Software Development with Scrum.

I was honored to be asked by him to contribute to the creation of Enterprise Scrum. During our work, I added a missing piece to his work. Unfortunately, Mike passed without completing Enterprise Scrum. That missing piece, mostly based on organizational behavior, became the AO Model.

The bridge between Enterprise Scrum and AO was built on the experience layers:

• EX : enterprise experience
• SX : service experience
• CX : customer experience
• PX: people experience

During my research, OX or organizational experience as been added to the first concept. More here
