ELSE: Emergent Large-Scale Evolution
Introducing ELSE
A continuous improvement approach that fosters emergent practices, guided by actionable principles, to enhance agility at scale.
ELSE Perspectives and Principles
At the core of ELSE are the Principles. They are giving the "true north", the direction we aim for. Here are the links to them, categorised based on the area they belong to. But principles often work together, and the perspectives are intended to capture these relationships and provide a narrative to give coherence to the system of Principles.
