I am in one such [su ch a] position currently, on a small team in a friendly but complex or ganization. I have lots of ideas for improving our development process and I think they would benefit everyone, but I can only make suggesti ons. For six months I have been practicing some techniques to influenc e change in my organization that I picked up after reading Influence w ithout Authority by Allan Cohen and David Bradford. I would like to in troduce these techniques and talk about my experience so far. While I haven't been successful at introducing most of my ideas, my team and m y organization have adopted a few new practices in the last six months and we have done so in a way that felt like all sides saw the value a nd naturally agree to participate. I tried a lot of things that didn't work along the way and I welcome the opportunity to hear from the Agi le Philly community about your challenges and successes and what techn iques you use when trying to influence change.\n\nAbout our Sponsor \n Francis \"Frank\" X.
