Welcome

Ecosystemae is the coaching and consulting website of Michael Hamman.  For the past five+ years, I have dedicated myself to helping companies uncover their potential for innovation, agility, and high performance.  I specialize in bringing agile capability to large and complex software companies through the adoption of agile principles and practices.

What companies can count on me for is:

  • Helping their product development teams become high-performing by helping them develop deep capability for ownership, partnership, collaboration, and agility;
  • Helping managers and senior leaders be effective agile leaders by helping them to develop sense-and-respond thinking capacity and to leverage that capacity in leading their company toward increased agility and performance;
  • Helping companies leverage agile principles and practices to create for themselves breakthroughs in the areas of time-to-market, customer satisfaction, product quality, and quality-of-life work environments which cultivate creativity, collaboration, ownership, and innovation.

 



Mission

Ecosystemae is dedicated to the possibility that the workplace be a site for personal, organizational, and social transformation.  Through the cultivation of light processes, reflective practice, and meaningful human interaction, Ecosystemae is committed to the transformation of human organization.  Inside this larger vision, Ecosystemae will document my ongoing research in organizational agilty, as well as the services I offer.

 

Writing

  • Read a short piece I wrote 5 years ago that orients a way of thinking about emergent organization, agility, and memetic evolution. 
  • Visit beautifulsystems.org, an unfolding collection of writings on adaptive organization, agility, leadership, group/team dynamics, aesthetics in organization, language, and communication.
