What is Management 3.0?
In 2010, Management 3.0 started first as a best-selling agile management book by leadership guru Jurgen Appelo. Then, in 2016, Jurgen released Managing for Happiness. These two successful, proactive management and effective leadership guides have been turned into the hands-on Management 3.0 Foundation Workshop and an international brand, supporting over 450 worldwide facilitators.
Management 3.0 is about actionable leadership. It’s an ever-changing collection of games, tools, and practices to help employees to manage the organisation. It’s not a framework, but a mindset. It is a way of looking at work systems with a strong focus on people. It follows the systems thinking idea that 95 percent of the performance of an organisation is the result of the whole system, not the individual. Management 3.0 examines how to analyse that system to come up with the right solutions for better and effective leadership across organisations.
Why Management 3.0?
The world of work has changed considerably over the last century. Today, employees have unparalleled access to information and learning, assisted by the digital world and the Internet. Leaders and managers were once expected to be the experts within their teams, with team members following instruction.
Now, the new Agile ways of working expect employees and teams to supersede their managers in technical abilities and work independently with greater autonomy. This process is taking place across all functions and requires leaders and managers who have the abilities to lead in an appropriate way.
Many organisations experience a lack of communication and collaboration among team members, micromanagement and a lack of empowerment, lack of appreciation and recognition, stressful, demanding work environments in a constant state of change and a lack of real leadership. Management 3.0 is about doing the right thing and making a culture change.
Management 1.0
Doing the wrong thing
For many organisations, a common practice is that they are managed like machines. We call this Management 1.0.
In this style of management, leaders assume that improvement of the whole requires monitoring, repairing, and replacing the parts.
It was engineers who developed scientific management, the command-and-control style of leadership that was quite successful in the 20th century. Engineers developed most management frameworks with upfront design, top-down planning and command-and-control structures and processes.

Management 2.0
Doing the right thing wrong
Fortunately, many managers have realised that the greater challenge is working with people, not with machines.
In a Management 2.0 organisation, everyone recognises that “people are the most valuable assets” and that managers have to become “servant leaders”. But, at the same time, managers prefer to stick to the hierarchy.
Management 3.0
Doing the right thing
Some people think of an organisation as a community or a city. You can do what you want, as long as you allow the community to benefit from your work. We call that Management 3.0.
In a community or city, everyone is (partly) responsible for contributing to its success and a few are responsible for the whole.

The Management 3.0 Foundation Workshop covers theoretical and practical Agile management, with a strong focus on hands on practices that you can use directly after attending the workshop.

Each Foundation Workshop covers six views on organisations plus the basics of Management & Leadership as well as Complexity Thinking.

The workshop practices are based around the Management 3.0 Agile Leadership Principles
Principle #1 Engaging people and their interactions
Get people involved in the work, get people involved in interacting with each other. Increase interactions between people.
Principle #2 Improving the system
A Management 3.0 practice should improve the system. The system is not just one team, everyone interacting with the team is part of the system. We believe in a win-win. We should try to improve the whole system and not just one part of the system.
Principle #3 Helping to make all clients happy
Clients are not just our external customers, we consider everyone involved in the system a client. Co-workers, other teams, customers, shareholders, etc. We should try to delight all clients, not just the stakeholders or just our co-workers.
Principle #4 Managing the system, not the people
We believe that it is hard to change behaviour of people. However, when you change their environment, people will have to adapt and change their behaviour to fit into the new environment. Also, by changing the environment people can manage themselves. Management is just about nurturing the garden.
Principle #5 Co-creating work
Co-workers create things together and co-creating is also about giving feedback to each other. Co-create behaviour.
Who should attend?
The workshop is aimed at team leaders, middle managers, senior professionals, HR managers and scrum masters who want to learn about how to manage Agile organisations. It’s for people who want to grow a great Agile organisation, have the ability to influence and make changes with their teams and who want to prepare their organisation for the future.
