Our Aim
We have been visiting organisations around the world that are using Scrum and other Agile methods.
Our aim is to study whether cultural types impacts how Agile is adopted. We are working in association with Dr Douglas Robinson of Université Paris Este Marne La Valee (LISIS) and University College London (UCL).
We are conditioned culturally from an early age, each of us developing a set of values and behaviours that differ from those in other parts of the world. Richard D Lewis, in his book, “When Cultures Collide: Leading Across Cultures” develops The Lewis Model where he defines three main cultural categories, “linear-active”, “multi-active” and “reactive”. For each category he describes general values and behaviours exhibited by different nationalities to varying degrees.
