Curry Barker And The Art Of Disruption

Ripe for Disruption

In an environment begging for disruption, Agile lost its reputation. It wasn’t because the 12 Principles were ineffective.

It’s because we let it fall prey to comfortable, common thinking. Slow it down, make it safe. Don’t shake the floor; just go faster.

When we want calm and predictable, we choose patterns. Copy something that works and repeat it. But patterns get stuck, and stuck patterns are hard to break.

The disruptor doesn’t wait for permission. They act. They see a future that promises better, and they march toward it. They are fearless and determined authentic. That’s what Curry Barker is.

In this episode, I’ll share why I think disruption is the only path to innovation and change and “better”. Disruption means taking a risk; doing things that others won’t. On the surface it seems like recklessness. But if we’re honest, nothing great was ever created from status quo.

We need disruption right now. Not just in Agile, but in business, politics and culture. What Curry Barker teaches us is that you should just take your camera and GO. If you can attract a little attention or brew some success, the right people will find you. And maybe you can make lasting change.

It’s certainly a more compelling and gratifying life. And right now, companies are looking for that disruption. They want to be shown. The market will pay a premium for those who go first, take risks, and fight long enough to gain footing. It’s not an easy path, and that’s exactly the point.
