This document discusses how agile transformations often fail to truly change organizations because they focus on changing practices but not the underlying organizational structure and culture. True change requires a "revolution" that challenges the existing power structures and gives autonomy back to employees. The document outlines a 7-step process for leading such an organizational revolution, including defining the group's identity and values, identifying what is holding the organization back, building solidarity among a committed group, celebrating successes, and gradually increasing employee autonomy and participation in decision-making. The goal is to transition the organization away from functioning like a "dictatorship" and toward greater "liberty" for all members.

Responding to change over following a plan

software by doing it and helping others do it.
