There has been some discussions in the Systems Thinking community about the dilution of ideas.
I see similar challenges in the agile world as well. The market is changing so fast that the companies are always trying to catch up.
This is exactly where the agility is needed.
Creating a nimble(agile) organisation in this complex environment is challenging and needs thinking. However, thinking is hard and needs time and energy. Moreover, the senior leaders in the organisation have short turn around time to produce results. They want best practices to be given rather than sit and discuss various options. In this whole process, the agility that needs to be handled from the complex domain, would be treated like a simple problem by applying the best practices approach. In addition, celebrity endorsed methods, practices with quick fixes are embraced rather than building something that suits the purpose of the organisation. I personally feel that, the current state of agile implementation is akin to hamster running on wheel. We think that by constantly changing frameworks and methods, we are making a good progress. Everyone is running fast, exhausted but staying wherever we are.. even worst.. sometimes I ask myself are we running backwards ? :-)
