Stefan Wolpers thanks a lot for such wonderful post. When I look back at my experiences, Some of the obstacles that I could think of : 1. Difficulty in adopting the agile mindset (This is seen more with senior team members who are ingrained with classical ways of working) 2. More focus on practices without giving attention to underlying values and principles 3. Lack of One-Team culture (Team Accountability) 4. Lack of Self-Organization or Self-Management 5. Lack of genuine leadership support or sponsor 6. Tendency to fallback upon old habits after sometime 7. Celebrating success too early 8. Rushing through the agile adoption in a hurry and so on and so forth, there could be many more reasons.

11moStefan Wolpers I really like the way your writing is supplemented with quotes you just don’t see everywhere. The Toyota one “box hide answer” - the wisest thing I have seen in a long, long time. It’s an interesting example as on their recent behaviour- I have to wonder if they can adapt (to the green future). That company troubles me a lot lately. And it’s a product vision and values problem. I love the incredible reliability of their products. Living in NZ with no onshore car manufacturing buying cars that can easily last 500k kms, it’s fantastic. But not for the environment. As efficient as they are - are they building the right thing with their hybrid, hydrogen and hand-hearted battery EV push? When they lobby politicians to slow transition to green vehicles so they sell more hybrids, are they living their “respect for people” values? In one way they are protecting their people’s jobs. But it also seems kind of dishonest. https://www.greenpeace.org.au/wp/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/GREENPEACE-Under-The-Hood_The-Truth-About-Toyota-v1.pdf
