From the Plan-Do-Check-Act of Walter Demig to the efficiencies of Lean and Agile to the principle of a learning organization, a central theme is empowering the teams, iterative design, and automating data.
I listed this under collaboration because I think it is good to have agreement across teams on what model/s we are using. Being an Agile leader encouraging a SAM process with a coworker who is used to a Waterfall/ADDIE approach can be a BIG challenge! It is good to have consensus ahead of time.
