This book is for the work (r)evolutionist, the people in organisations who see the possibilities and are willing to do things differently, regardless of their positions, to better align the company's activity with its purpose. It is also for the external consultants, who are ready to accompany these evolutions and support these internal evolutionists instead of offering solutions that worked elsewhere.

By reading this book, be prepared to challenge your beliefs about what is possible in organisations and what organisations are in the digital age. The mission of this book is not less than bringing together and translating contemporary knowledge and language about organisations, work, and how we all play a role in creating adaptivity to the language of leaders, HR professionals, Product Owners and Scrum Masters, agile coaches, change agents, and all who find in themselves a motivation to make the world of work a better place, better fitting our times.

By reading this book, you will be able to start transformations in small steps with the tools in it and make yourself seen and heard as a work evolutionist. It will enable you to empower others to become also the shapers of how you work together for better value creation and continuous adaptation.
