Ayman shares insights from his experience scaling AppSumo from $3M to $84M in revenue, emphasizing the transition from founder to CEO mindset.

02:47 - Discussion of the Nine Steps framework
08:13 - Team building and executive compensation
10:35 - The Reality of Startup Valuations
14:36 - The importance of setting a strong foundation
15:59 - Focus on Retention Before Growth
22:26 - Evaluating Opportunities and Thinking Big
29:47 - Examples of Successful Founders that Ayman admires
31:35 - The Importance of Focus in Business
33:26 - Build Skyscrapers, Not Strip-malls
36:01 - The importance of being the best in the market
37:54 - Where to double down in your business
40:22 - Testing and Investing in Business Strategies
42:05 - Identifying Bottlenecks in Your Business
44:39 - Finding Your Zone of Genius

Key Points:
• The "Nine Steps to Nine Figures" framework divides business growth into three phases: startup, scale-up, and grow-up
• Focus on retention and customer loyalty before aggressive growth
• Use the "Test Then Invest" framework with 80% resources on core business and 20% on experiments
• Structure executive compensation with a 50-50 split between top-line and bottom-line metrics

1) The "Nine Steps to Nine Figures" Framework:

Breaks down into 3 phases:
• Startup (Product Market Fit)
• Scale-up (Company Creation)
• Grow-up (Legacy Protection)

Most founders get this wrong from day 1...

2) RETENTION over GROWTH

"Building a business without focusing on retention is like building a skyscraper on sand"

Every 3% increase in net revenue retention = DOUBLES company valuation

Stop chasing growth before you nail retention!

3) The 80/20 Marketing Rule:

• 80% of resources on proven channels
• 20% on experimental channels

Real example: AppSumo tested switching from credits to cash payments for referrals → Became 8-figure revenue channel

4) The Shield vs Sword Framework for Decision Making:

Rate every opportunity 1-5 on:
• Impact (Sword)
• Effort (Shield)

Only pursue 8+/10 total score opportunities
Ignore the rest - they're distractions

5) On Building Your Executive Team:

Two core functions:
• Sales (CRO)
• Delivery (COO)

Pro tip: Hire first in YOUR zone of genius
Why? You'll know what excellence looks like

6) The Triple, Triple, Double, Double Path to $100M:

Year 1: $3M → $9M
Year 2: $9M → $27M
Year 3: $27M → $54M
Year 4: $54M → $108M

This is how you hit 9-figures in 5 years

7) REVOLUTIONARY Compensation Framework:

Forget traditional equity!
Instead:
• Set total comp package
• Let employees choose cash vs equity split
• Makes equity REAL by forcing skin in the game

8) CEO Evolution:

"The founder is the hardest working person
The CEO should be the laziest"

Your job: Think 3-5 quarters ahead while your team executes

Key Takeaway:
Focus on retention first
Build processes before hiring
Think in 5-year blocks
Execute with intention

Notable Quotes:
"Product market fit is when it feels like you're wearing a meat suit in a dog park - you just have more leads than you know what to do with." - Ayman
"Every 3% increase in net revenue retention doubles a company's valuation." - Ayman

Asanka Abeysinghe, CTO at WSO2, joins host Giovanni Asproni to discuss cell-based architecture -- a style that's intended to combine application, deployment, and team architecture to help organizations respond quickly to changes in the business environment, customer requirements, or enterprise strategy. Cell-based architecture is aimed at creating scalable, modular, composable systems with effective governance mechanisms. The conversation starts by introducing the context and some vocabulary before exploring details about the main elements of the architecture and how they fit together. Finally, Asanka offers some advice on how to implement a cell-based architecture in practice.

In this Uprising Podcast episode hosted by Andy Cleff, Michael "Mad Dog" Dougherty and Pete "OK" Oliver-Krueger discuss their new book "Shift from Product to People" - a novel exploring the third wave of agile adoption. Through rich character development inspired by real people and the Enneagram personality system, they illustrate how organizations struggle even after implementing agile practices and DevOps. Mike and Pete reveal why focusing on frameworks and processes alone isn't enough, sharing their vision of people-first transformation. They discuss the evolution from individual team agility (Wave 1) through scaled frameworks (Wave 2) to their proposed third wave - returning focus to people while solving real organizational problems. Drawing from their extensive consulting experience, Mad Dog and OK explore how the consulting industry's obsession with frameworks has sometimes overshadowed the human element that makes agile truly effective. They also preview their next two books that will complete the trilogy, including "Shift from Products to Problems." Key Topics: The three waves of agile adoption Why organizations fail despite "doing all the right things" Using the Enneagram for authentic character development The future of agile in a post-framework world Balancing people focus with business outcomes Links Book/Kindle Contact Info Websites Previous Episodes Jan 24, 2021: Jan 16, 2022: Jan 30 2022: Related Podcasts: ) (2018) (2021) (2021) Closing Tunes: Your Brains by is licensed under a .

In this enlightening episode of the Schmidt List, host Kurt Schmidt is joined by Anne Steiner, a strategic advisor at NerdNoir, to delve into the evolving landscape of product development and innovation in the post-pandemic world.

As a master networker, Kurt opens up about the dynamic energy he derives from community interactions, setting the stage for a rich conversation on the importance of in-person engagements, even as remote work becomes the norm.

Anne Steiner emphasizes the timeless value of learning from others' mistakes, enriched by her industry experiences. Kurt and Anne advocate for a culture where mistakes are celebrated as essential steps toward innovation. The discussion transitions into the current state of agile methodologies, noting their decreased prominence and the maturation of processes in industries like finance and pharma.

They explore the critical role of technology and the evolution of product management as a competitive edge, highlighting the lack of standardization and the broad scope of responsibilities faced by product managers today. Steiner and Schmidt stress the need for team-based goals to ensure alignment across various organizational roles and discuss the complexities of maintaining efficient operations in high-level organizational structures.
Anne shares insights on the pandemic's impacts on product development workflows, from increased reliance on AI and no-code solutions to the shift toward virtual meeting cultures. She critiques the overreliance on processes and tools at the expense of delivering true market value.

The episode also touches on the stress of asynchronous communication and the necessity of intuitive leadership in remote settings. Personal anecdotes and practical advice underscore the importance of in-person connections, customer engagement, and diverse perspectives in driving innovation and success.

Kurt and Anne conclude by offering valuable resources for founders and product managers. They discuss the benefits of networking, startup incubators, and continuous learning through experiential methods over traditional media.

Det blir rutiner, löpning, agil utveckling, tidsuppskattning, deadlines, och varför sprint är ett värdelöst ord när man snackar mjukvaruutveckling.

Som leder skal du ofte rumme medarbejdernes behov, følelser og reaktioner. Du skal være åben overfor kritik, bevare roen og være empatisk, selv når det hele brænder på, og medarbejderne løber i forskellige retninger. Denne del af ledelsesrollen mangler tid og anerkendelse, siger de to erhvervspsykologer, Vibeke Lunding-Gregersen og Louise Dinesen.

Virksomheden Technolution stod over for et problem: De havde ambitioner om at vokse. Det lyder måske som et luksusproblem, men udfordringen var, at de gerne ville holde fast i en flad organisation, vækst-ambitionerne til trods. På trods af dét, sad ledelsen nu og talte om at indføre endnu et ledelseslag.

Jesper Cassøe Andersen arbejder med ‘People & Organisation’ i Technolution. Han fortæller os historien om, hvordan de i sidste ende valgte at gøre noget helt andet, nemlig at indføre selvledende teams, inspireret af bogen ‘Humanocracy’.

Det starter med et sommerhus og en YouTube-video, og det fortsætter med, at vi udfritter Jesper om, hvordan de kom i gang med at indføre de selvledende teams. Vi slutter med status i dag, hvor honeymoon-fasen er ovre og konkrete problemer skal løses.

I vil gerne optimere arbejdspladsen? Blive mere effektive, have bedre samarbejde, levere mere værdi til slutbrugeren - den slags, ja? Så skal I glemme alt om at stå på ølkassen og holde taler om nye og revolutionerende forandringer. I skal holde det småt, I skal holde det banalt - og I skal prøve jer frem.

Vi har inviteret Morten Münster i studiet til en snak om, hvordan man skaber bæredygtige forandringer. Morten har skrevet flere bøger om adfærd og forandring. Vi taler med ham om, hvorfor vi skal glemme alt om metoder og transformationer og i stedet fokusere på konkret adfærd. For i sidste ende handler det om, at mennesker skal gøre noget andet.

Til sidst vover vi også pelsen og beder Morten om at komme med sit bud på, hvad der skal stå i et dekret for, hvordan man implementerer forandringer. Vi anbefaler hermed, at alle følger dekretet.

Age diversity and cross-generational synergy can transform an organization.

Most of us know age diversity matters in the workplace. But according to UCLA’s Bob McCann, we're thinking about it all wrong: it's not just about having different generations present — it's about creating meaningful connections between them.

As director of UCLA's Leadership Communication Program and founder of the McCann Group, McCann has spent years researching intergenerational workplace dynamics. With four to six generations now working side by side, he says there’s never been a better time to create synergies between the old and the young.

"There's a tremendous opportunity for meeting and interacting with people who are different than you, for increasing a variety of potential outcomes in business in a positive way, if we can maximize our intergenerational engagement," he says. His research reveals that while many organizations focus on gender and ethnic diversity, age diversity often gets overlooked in DEI initiatives — despite its crucial role in workplace success.

In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, McCann joins Matt Abrahams to discuss how organizations can move beyond superficial age diversity to create meaningful cross-generational connections. From reverse mentoring programs to shadow boards, they explore practical ways leaders can harness the power of generational difference to drive innovation and collaboration.

Clear communication during times of uncertainty.

Whether leading people through a 15-minute meeting or a years-long pandemic, communication requires compassion. For Dr. Anthony Fauci, that means being clear about who we’re speaking to and concise in what we say.

As one of the world's leading experts in infectious diseases and public health, Fauci has been America's most trusted voice during the COVID-19 pandemic and other health crises. Whether addressing groups of fellow scientists and specialists or everyday people, his communication approach is the same. "Know your audience," he says. "Decide what your message is and make it crisp [and] clear."

In addition to being clear about the known facts, Fauci advocates for equal transparency about the unknowns. "Be totally transparent into what you know and what you don't know," he says. "Transparency, honesty and a little bit of humility — let the audience know that you don't know everything."

In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Fauci joins Matt Abrahams to discuss how leaders can communicate more effectively by staying focused on what matters most. From managing uncertainty to handling contentious interactions, they explore how clarity and transparency build trust and drive results.

A double definition of happiness — and how to cultivate both parts.

The new year gives us an opportunity to reflect on who we are and who we want to be. As we set resolutions and prepare for evolutions, this special four-part series on communication, happiness, and well-being explores practical ways to enhance our lives through better communication, deeper connections, and more meaningful choices.

There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to happiness, but according to Laurie Santos, everyone needs the two key components of contentment and fulfillment — or as she puts it, being happy in your life and happy with your life.

“Being happy in your life [means] your life is filled with joy,” explains Santos, a Yale psychology professor and host of The Happiness Lab podcast. This felt sense of happiness — enjoying where we are, what we do, and who we’re with — is essential, but it’s not the only piece of the puzzle. Being happy with your life, she says, is the belief that “your life is going well. Being happy with your life gets closer to things like fulfillment and purpose.”

In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Santos joins Matt Abrahams to explore how to cultivate both sides of her happiness equation, from building deeper connections with others to transforming the ways we communicate with ourselves.

Why creating happiness in the future starts today.

The new year gives us an opportunity to reflect on who we are and who we want to be. As we set resolutions and prepare for evolutions, this special four-part series on communication, happiness, and well-being explores practical ways to enhance our lives through better communication, deeper connections, and more meaningful choices.

In pursuing happiness and well-being, we often focus on the present moment. But according to Hal Hershfield, one of the best ways to help ourselves today is to have a conversation with ourselves in the future.

"When I say future self, I really mean any version of us that exists at some later point in time," explains Hershfield, a UCLA professor and author of Your Future Self: How to Make Tomorrow Better Today. By thinking of our future selves as different people — ones we should care about — we can make better choices in the present. "If we can tap into the feelings of our future selves, then we can do more that benefits them, which may make our lives easier now and later."
In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Hershfield and host Matt Abrahams explore how communication between our present and future selves can help us set goals, make decisions, and overcome pitfalls like procrastination, enabling us to take meaningful action now so we can thrive today and tomorrow.

Why connection is the key to a life well lived.

The new year gives us an opportunity to reflect on who we are and who we want to be. As we set resolutions and prepare for evolutions, this special four-part series on communication, happiness, and well-being explores practical ways to enhance our lives through better communication, deeper connections, and more meaningful choices.

When it comes to happiness, Arthur Brooks says it’s not about reaching a destination — it's about heading in the right direction. And according to him, that direction is fundamentally about relationships.

"Loving more people... more and more love... if you pursue that, you will defy the trends and get happier,” says Brooks, a social scientist, Harvard Business School professor, and author of several books including Build the Life You Want: The Art and Science of Getting Happier, cowritten with Oprah Winfrey. According to him, a happy life is made of enjoyment, satisfaction, and meaning, which we cultivate through connection with others. "Faith, family, friends, and work, that's your basic happiness 401k plan,” he says.

In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Brooks and host Matt Abrahams explore the fundamental role of relationships in creating a happy life, and how effective communication helps us build and maintain these essential connections.

Clarify your purpose — and stop wasting time.

The new year gives us an opportunity to reflect on who we are and who we want to be. As we set resolutions and prepare for evolutions, this special four-part series on communication, happiness, and well-being explores practical ways to enhance our lives through better communication, deeper connections, and more meaningful choices.

As Cassie Holmes knows, how we spend our time has a big impact on our happiness and well-being. For her, that means focusing on the things not just immediately in front of us, but those that most closely align with our purpose.

"When I say purpose, what I mean is what really drives you," explains Holmes, a professor at UCLA Anderson School of Management and author of Happier Hour: How to Beat Distraction, Expand Your Time, and Focus on What Matters Most. Living a happier and more fulfilled life, she says, rests on using purpose to drive our decisions. “Once you clarify for yourself: what is your purpose? What is your why? Then you can use that as a filter [for] where you should be spending your time.”

In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Holmes and host Matt Abrahams explore practical strategies for being more purposeful with our time. From email management to relationship building, Holmes shares research-backed approaches for achieving greater happiness through intentional choices.

Stay prepared, build your network, and take control of your career.

Most of us know that career growth is important—but according to Catherine Fisher, we're thinking about it all wrong. It’s not just about landing a job or climbing the ladder; it’s about staying adaptable, building strong connections, and being proactive about opportunities before you need them.
As LinkedIn’s Vice President of Global Consumer Communications, Fisher has spent years helping professionals navigate an evolving job market. She says the biggest mistake people make is waiting until they’re unhappy or unemployed to think about their next move. “Your network is like a garden,” she explains. “You have to tend to it constantly if you want it to thrive.”
In this episode of Think Fast Talk Smart, Fisher joins Matt Abrahams to share practical, actionable strategies for staying ahead. From recognizing when it’s time for a change to job crafting and personal branding, they explore how small but intentional moves can shape a career that aligns with your strengths and ambitions. Whether you're feeling stuck or simply want to future-proof your career, this conversation will give you the tools to stay in control and ready for what’s next.

How to captivate an audience and make your message stick.

Pitches and presentations don’t fall flat because speakers aren’t prepared. For Guy Kawasaki, it’s because speakers miss the point. “If all you're trying to do is inform, you're not going to pull it off. You have to entertain your audience.”

A renowned author, speaker, and entrepreneur, Kawasaki knows that the point of great storytelling isn’t about information, it’s about emotion. “Too many speakers think, ‘I need to inform my audience. I need to get my story across,’” he says. But throughout his career, formerly as Chief Evangelist at Apple and now co-founder of Canva, he’s shown how successful communication is about captivating audiences, not conveying facts. “If you entertain people, you have a chance of informing them.”

In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Kawasaki joins Matt Abrahams to explore practical strategies for building decks, structuring presentations, and tips for keeping audiences engaged. From investor pitches to keynote presentations, these strategies help create effective storytelling — in business and beyond.

Pub date: 2025-01-14

Get Podcast Transcript →
powered by Listen411 - fast audio-to-text and summarization

In this episode of the Mob Mentality Show, we dive into Sustainable Pace, a core principle of the Agile Manifesto ("Agile processes promote sustainable development. The sponsors, developers, and users should be able to maintain a constant pace indefinitely"). From software development to youth sports, we explore the massively destructive effects of an unsustainable pace and highlight the transformative benefits of a culture grounded in sustainable practices.

🔥 Key Topics Covered1. The Massively Destructive Results of Unsustainable Pace

• How the relentless work rate leads to burnout, dropouts, injuries, and errors.
• Insights from academic and medical studies showing the devastating effects of unsustainable workloads.
• Real-world connections to coding bug rates, over-specialization, and emotional exhaustion.
• Tim Urban's TED Talk ("Inside the Mind of a Master Procrastinator") and its ties to the procrastination monkey, panic monster, and unsustainable pace.
• Why misalignment between expectations and reality (e.g., unrealistic deadlines) breeds toxicity.

• Radical Candor's "obnoxious aggression" and it can join forces with unsustainable pace to form a diabolical duo.

• The Positive Results of a Sustainable Pace

• Building high-quality, continuous delivery without chaos or burnout.

• The connection between psychological safety, inclusivity, and long-term success in both teams and individuals.
• Benefits of diverse experiences, low stress, and personal peace from a sustainable pace.
• Practical strategies to avoid contributing to toxic work or play environments.

• Stories from youth sports coaching and tech leadership that illustrate how sustainable pace leads to lasting excellence.

• Actionable Insights for a Better Future

• How to shift from a culture of "run fast, burn out" to one of balance, productivity, and joy.

• The systemic changes needed to foster sustainable pace in tech teams and youth sports organizations.
• Why adopting sustainable practices isn't just about survival—it's about thriving.

🎙️ Why Listen?Whether you're a tech leader, Agile practitioner, parent, or coach, this episode is packed with actionable advice and thought-provoking discussions. Learn how sustainable pace can unlock continuous learning, higher quality results, and a more fulfilling life.

Episode: Multi-Mobbing with Extreme Ownership: Should Ensemble Decisions Wait for Outside Approval?
Pub date: 2025-01-21

Get Podcast Transcript →
powered by Listen411 - fast audio-to-text and summarization

In this thought-provoking episode of the Mob Mentality Show, we dive into the world of extreme ownership within a multi-mobbing environment. What happens when a mob/team wants to make a decision, like extracting a method, refactoring to a new pattern, or reorganizing code boundaries? Should that decision wait for approval from outside teams? Or does extreme ownership mean trusting the mob to act autonomously for maximum flow efficiency?

Topics Discussed:* Autonomy vs. Consensus: Should mobs prioritize quick decision-making or seek input from external teams? * Multi-Mob Context: Exploring the dynamics of multiple mobs interacting and how to handle shared ownership of repositories and projects. * Inverse Conway Maneuver: Can designing your organization’s team structures to match the architecture you want your systems to have prevent this problem? * Lean Thinking and Efficiency: How waiting for approvals from external owners can create lean wastes. * Boundary Flexibility: Should code and team boundaries be rigid or adaptable to changing circumstances? * The Monolith vs. Microservices Debate: Is the real issue a technical architecture debate or is the root problem found elsewhere?

Scenarios and Examples:* A hypothetical comparison of shared ownership in MS Word vs. MS Excel. * The impact of Joe Justice’s Law on decision-making and team interactions. * The challenge of managing too many communication nodes in multi-team environments.

Key Questions Discussed:* Is it more valuable to reduce the number of teams interacting with a repo? * Should boundaries of ownership evolve with time? * How can we balance flow efficiency with healthy collaboration across teams? * How does "Nothing in Tech Matters Except XP" impact this discussion?

Subscribe and Stay Connected:Don’t miss this insightful episode as we unravel these questions and more! Discover how the principles of extreme ownership and mob programming can transform team dynamics and decision-making processes in software development.

In this episode, we talk to Mikkel Zanini about humanocracy. Mikkel emphasizes the limitations of traditional bureaucratic organizations and explains the concept of humanocracy, which focuses on maximizing human potential rather than efficiency and control. We explore the principles of ownership, meritocracy, internal markets, experimentation, community, openness and balance that underpin humanocracy. And we discuss examples of successful applications at Haier and Roche that show how these principles can foster innovation, engagement, profitability, and growth.

Episode: 718: How Leaders Can Use the Algorithms for Good, with Sandra Matz

Get Podcast Transcript →
powered by Listen411 - fast audio-to-text and summarization

Sandra Matz: MindmastersSandra Matz is a Columbia Business School professor, computational social scientist, and pioneering expert in psychological targeting. Her research uncovers the hidden relationships between our digital lives and our psychology with the goal of helping businesses and individuals make better decisions. She is the author of Mindmasters: The Data-Driven Science of Predicting and Changing Human Behavior*.

Algorithms are becoming more influential with each passing day. That’s why leaders must understand their power and then decide how their organizations engage. In this conversation, Sandra and I discuss where psychological targeting is at, where it’s going, and the opportunity you have to make the world a bit better.

Key Points* Everyone knows everything in a small town (for better or worse). In the same way, psychological targeting can used for both evil and good. * Psychological targeting already is successful at identifying wealth, personality, income level, and sexual orientation – and keeps improving. * None of this is going away. Understanding how the game of targeting is played can help you make it work to your advantage. * Leaders and organization who use targeting responsibly can do tremendous good, including helping people save money and flag early interventions for health crises. * Be transparent with what data you’re collecting how you’re using it. Consider newer practices like federated learning that protect privacy and provide permission-based access. * Design systems and practices that anticipate the reality of future leaders with different values.

Ethan Kross: ShiftEthan Kross is the author of the national bestseller Chatter and one of the world’s leading experts on emotion regulation. An award-winning professor in the University of Michigan’s top-ranked Psychology Department and its Ross School of Business, he is the Director of the Emotion and Self-Control Laboratory. He’s the author of the new book, Shift: Managing Your Emotions–So They Don’t Manage You*.

Being a leader means that our emotions get triggered, often many times a day. While none of us can avoid those triggers, how we respond to them can make all the difference. In this conversation, Ethan and I explore his research on how to better manage our emotions.

Key Points* We often assume that approaching emotions is universally good and avoiding emotions is universally bad. Reality is much more nuanced. * We can strategically use our senses to modulate our feelings. * Music is a simple and powerful way to manage emotions proactively. Use playlists that align with the mood you wish to create. * Using distancing language when talking to yourself (i.e. saying “you” instead of “I”) can help you regulate. * Time shifting may help regulate your emotions. Ask yourself, how will I feel about this in a week? A month? A year? * Different tools work for different people at different times. Experiment to help you determine what works best for you.

In the last half century, relationships between employers and their employees have evolved away from being rooted in long-term loyalty to a new paradigm of short-term alliances driven by uncertainty and competition.

Entrepreneurs and coauthors Ben Casnocha and Chris Yeh argue that the new world of work isn’t so different from the typical conditions that many entrepreneurs operate in. And if you’re a manager, you may need a new strategy to hire and retain top talent.

Casnocha and Yeh, coauthors of the book The Startup of You, explain why it’s important for your organization to build internal and external employee networks—and how to get started if you don’t already have those groups in place informally.

Key episode topics include: strategy, entrepreneurship, talent management.

In this insightful episode, Mateusz shares a valuable learning experience from his early days as a Scrum Master in a biotech company. With a small team of five people, he initially believed he could improve upon existing practices by modifying the Scrum framework. However, by skipping crucial ceremonies like daily standups, planning sessions, and retrospectives, hidden team conflicts emerged.

This experience led Mateusz to a crucial realization: Scrum isn't merely about process management, but rather about facilitating meaningful connections and interactions between team members while enabling empirical management.

En lyssnare berättar att hen vill byta jobb – inte för att lönen är dålig eller förmånerna suger, utan för att företagskulturen är katastrof. Men vad är egentligen företagskultur? Och varför spelar den så stor roll att folk hellre lämnar än stannar, trots bra villkor?

Podcast: Den Agile Agenda
Episode: Hvad går rigtig Kanban egentlig ud på, og hvad får I ud af at bruge metoden?
Pub date: 2025-01-16

powered by Listen411 - fast audio-to-text and summarization

Der er mange myter om Kanban. Mange sejlivede myter, som ikke desto mindre er helt forkerte. Her kommer nogle stykker af dem:

•Man bruger kun kanban i små support teams.

•Man bruger Kanban, hvis Scrum ikke kan virke.

•Kanban er bare en tavle.

•Kanban kan ikke skalere.

•Man planlægger ikke i Kanban.

Disse myter har jeg lagt ører til mange gange, og hver gang bliver jeg lidt ærgerlig, for disse misforståelser er måske det, der forhindrer folk i at gå i gang med netop den metode, som er den letteste, hurtigste og billigste vej til at skabe målbar agilitet og dramatisk forbedrede resultater. Både i teams men så sandelig også på tværs af teams og organisatoriske enheder og niveauer.

Som akkrediteret Kanban-underviser og konsulent fra Kanban University er jeg dybt inde i detaljerne om Kanban-metoden, og i denne episode vil jeg dykke ned i, hvad rigtig Kanban er for noget og prøve at mane nogle af de bekymringer i jorden, som jeg indimellem hører som begrundelse for ikke at bruge Kanban.

Jeg fortæller om de byggesten, der skal til, når I skal have et godt, robust og effektivt Kanban-system op at stå, og du får også at vide, hvad I konkret vil få ud af at bruge metoden.

Hvis du vil vide endnu mere, kan du finde flere detaljer om Kanban og vores kurser og bøger på vores hjemmeside, www.agilagenda.com.

Conversations are the venues where leaders do so much of their work. We all know someone who always can keep a conversation interesting and relevant. In this episode, Alison and I discuss how a key tactic can help you towards more meaningful conversations.

Key Points* Healthy relationships are critical for success, and relationships are about talking. * Good conversation is both instinct and deliberate effort. Preparing topics in advance improves conversation immensely. * Topics for conversation can be sourced from almost anywhere and help even if we don’t use those topics. * Good topic management is more important than the right topic. The best conversationalists know when to shift. * Small talk in an essential exploration ground for getting to bigger, more meaningful conversation.

Velkommen til podcasten Fremtidens arbejdsplads – og ikke mindst velkommen til årets første episode, som jeg har glædet mig enormt meget til at dele med jer. For hvad sker der, når man sætter en autist og en ADHD’er sammen i et lukket lokale? Hvilken samtale vil der opstå, og hvad vil de tale om?

I dagens episode har jeg fornøjelsen af at tale med en leder, der virkelig går forrest for inklusion. Sammen dykker vi ned i hans historie og undersøger, hvad det har betydet for ham at blive voksen-diagnosticeret med autisme. Vi taler også om, hvad der fik ham til for år tilbage at åbne op om sit problem med alkohol.

Ved at stille sig frem og dele sin historie åbent viser dagens gæst, hvordan sårbarhed som leder kan styrke både lederskabet og arbejdskulturen. Hvis vi som arbejdsgivere ønsker at skabe arbejdspladser, hvor mennesker trives, og hvor de kan være sig selv, må vi gøre inklusion til mere end blot et buzzword. Den bedste måde at gøre det på er ved, at vi som ledere går forrest og skaber rum for åbenhed om de ting, der nogle gange gør arbejds- og lederlivet udfordrende.

Lyt med og bliv inspireret af en ærlig samtale med dagens gæst, Christoffer Hagen, Head of HR and Communications hos DHL, Christoffer.

Velkommen til Fremtidens Arbejdsplads. I dag skal vi hilse på en gammel kending og ikke mindst en ven af huset, nemlig Nicklas Pyrdol.

Nicklas driver virksomheden Beyond Talents og må siges at være en anerkendt foredragsholder og specialist inden for HR, rekruttering og talentudvikling.

Han har en baggrund som sportspsykologisk konsulent og har arbejdet med både olympiske atleter og verdensmestre.

Nicklas drømmer om et bedre arbejdsliv, hvor mennesker er engagerede og har lige muligheder uanset alder, køn, race eller seksualitet. Udfordringen er ifølge Nicklas, at vi står midt i en virkelighed, hvor stress og udbrændthed stiger, og inkluderende organisationer er en mangelvare. Det skal vi ændre på ved at genskabe ledelse, præstationer og kultur.

Med en passion for at forbedre arbejdsmiljøer og skabe inkluderende kulturer arbejder Nicklas på at befri verden fra dårlig ledelse, rekruttering og feedbackkulturer, der underminerer vores arbejdsliv.

The sprint retrospective is a scrum event held at the end of a sprint where the team reflects on the recent sprint and identifies ways to improve for future sprints. The objectives of a sprint retrospective include reflection, continuous improvement, team cohesion, process optimisation, and action planning. The structure of a typical sprint retrospective involves setting the stage, gathering data, generating insights, encouraging open and honest discussion, deciding on actions, and closing the retrospective. The host also discusses the importance of balancing subjective and objective retrospectives, common pitfalls in retrospectives, and solutions to overcome them.

Takeaways

• The sprint retrospective is a scrum event held at the end of a sprint to reflect on the recent sprint and identify ways to improve for future sprints.

The tech industry faces a paradox: despite high demand for skills, many developers and engineers are unemployed. At KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America in Salt Lake City, Utah, Andela and the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) announced an initiative to train 20,000 technologists in cloud native computing over the next decade. oss O'neill, Senior Program Manager at Andela and Chris Aniszczyk, CNCF’s CTO, highlighted the lack of Kubernetes-certified professionals in regions like Africa and emphasized the need for global inclusivity to make cloud native technology ubiquitous.

Andela, operating in over 135 countries and founded in Nigeria, views this program as a continuation of its mission to upskill African talent, aligning with its partnerships with tech giants like Google, AWS, and Nvidia. This initiative also addresses the increasing employer demand for Kubernetes and modern cloud skills, reflecting a broader skills mismatch in the tech workforce.

Aniszczyk noted that companies urgently seek expertise in cloud native infrastructure, observability, and platform engineering. The partnership aims to bridge these gaps, offering opportunities to meet evolving global tech needs.

“Now more than ever, engineering leaders are being asked to be more transparent with how their work is getting done. Every single thing that an engineering team works on needs to benefit the business.”

Laura Tacho is the CTO of DX and a leading voice in the world of developer experience and productivity. In this episode, we explore the ever important role of aligning developer experience with business goals and discuss the DX Core 4, a new developer productivity framework recently published by DX.

Laura shares how engineering leaders can leverage intuition for data-driven decisions and effectively communicate the impact of engineering initiatives in business language. We discuss the importance of balancing business goals with engineering needs and delve into the process of building a strong business case for improving developer experience.

Discover the new DX Core 4 framework as Laura breaks down its four dimensions, key metrics, and actionable strategies for measuring and enhancing developer productivity. Learn how DX Core 4 complements existing frameworks, such as DORA, SPACE, and DevEx, and why it suggests “diffs per engineer” as a valuable metric to measure. Understand the Developer Experience Index (DXI) and why internal developer platforms and AI play crucial roles in improving developer experience.

“Leadership is where you have, not necessarily a large organization, but increasing scope and increasing impact, while bringing lots of people along with you.”

In this milestone episode of the podcast, James Stanier returns for the third time to discuss his latest book, “Become a Great Engineering Leader.” We explore the role of an engineering leader and delve deep into the nuances of engineering leadership.

James explains the difference between an engineering leader and an engineering manager through the lens of the three levels of warfare: strategy, operational, and tactical. We then discuss the importance of organizational chart design and some best practices, including Conway’s law and how to avoid politics.

James also talks about the importance of time management, always having a long-term view of your work (long-termism), and the critical role of writing in leadership. We discuss important approaches such as one-way vs. two-way doors and balancing between writing vs. bias for action.

Finally, James explains the importance of strategic thinking, why a strategy is not necessarily a plan, and how an engineering leader can communicate their strategy effectively. He also provides practical tips for upcoming engineering leaders and discusses how we should all navigate a career in technology.

The inner workings of social influence and persuasion.

Want to change someone’s mind? First, explains Robert Cialdini, you have to change their framing.

For Cialdini, the Regent's Professor Emeritus of Psychology and Marketing at Arizona State University, persuasion begins before we even deliver our pitch or presentation. Through what he calls “Pre-suasion,” communicators can prime audiences to receive messages in a specific way, simply by drawing their attention in specific directions.

“It involves focusing people on—putting them in mind of—those motivators before they encounter [them] in the communicator’s message,” Cialdini says, “bringing people’s focus of attention onto something that is nested in the message…before that message is delivered, so they have been readied for the concept.”

In this episode, Matt Abrahams and Cialdini talk about the motivating power of FOMO, getting better advice from others, and how your next wine purchase could be influenced by what music is playing in the shop.

Why practice is the key to success.

If there’s anyone who knows about performing under pressure, it’s former NFL quarterback Andrew Luck. Whether playing in front of thousands or presenting to ten, his key to success is practice.

"There's a romantic notion that you rise to the occasion," says Luck, a Stanford graduate and four-time Pro Bowl selection. "But I think you settle to the level of your training. We practiced those high-pressure situations all the time.” From calling critical game-winning plays to navigating communication off the field, our performance in high-stakes situations, Luck maintains, is determined by our level of preparation.

In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Luck and host Matt Abrahams explore how deliberate practice can help us hone our performance across all domains of our lives. From managing high-pressure situations to building psychological safety in homes and workplaces, Luck shares insights gained from both sides of the field — as a player and now as a coach.

Mindfulness can transform your communication and your career.

When we react, our instincts and impulses are in the driver’s seat. But when we take the time to reflect, that’s when Marshall Goldsmith says we take back control of how we respond.

“​​​​Before speaking at work, breathe,” Goldsmith says. “Is my comment going to improve this other human being's commitment? At home, breathe. Is my comment going to improve this relationship with someone I love? If the answer is no, why am I saying it?”

As a world-renowned executive coach, speaker, and best-selling author, Goldsmith teaches how a mindful approach can change how we relate to others, to ourselves, and even to our career goals and ambitions. Through reflection, we identify our values, which we can use to live what Goldsmith calls an “earned life — when the choices, risks, and effort we make in each moment align with an overarching purpose in our lives.”

In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Goldsmith joins host Matt Abrahams to explore practical strategies for bettering our interactions with others and ourselves, from his “feed forward” method for giving and receiving constructive critique to his "daily questions" practice, which prompts reflective self-inquiry to keep us focused on what truly matters.

"Start with the action moment or right before it," advises Hilary Price whose one-panel comic strips offer insights far beyond humor—they’re lessons in concise storytelling that resonate with anyone seeking to communicate effectively. “Simplify and amplify,” Price advises, emphasizing the art of clarity and impact. Every stroke of her pen strips away the unnecessary, letting the essentials shine through.
Creating her daily comic strip, Rhymes with Orange, Price starts with the game of “what if,” merging unexpected ideas to surprise and engage her readers. “You want to start at the action moment—or just before,” she notes, pointing out how the unsaid often speaks louder. Price extends this philosophy beyond cartoons: whether crafting a presentation, a joke, or a story, it’s essential to leave room for the audience to co-create meaning. “Don’t spoon-feed your readers,” she says. “The joy comes from not getting it, then getting it.”
In this bonus episode of Think Fast Talk Smart, Price joins host Matt Abrahams to explore the power of surprise, stakes, and shared experience in storytelling—reminding us that the punchline, whether in humor or communication, is where the magic happens.

Turn any meeting or get-together into a chance for deep connection and collaboration.

Whether you’re holding a team meeting or hosting a family get-together, the success of any gathering, says Priya Parker, isn’t about the perfect agenda or venue, but about the intentionality behind how you bring people together.

“90% of the success of any gathering happens before anyone enters the room,” says Parker. As the author of The Art of Gathering: How We Meet and Why It Matters, and a strategic advisor who has helped organizations worldwide reimagine their gatherings, Parker believes that thoughtful preparation can turn any meeting, whether professional or personal, into a meaningful and memorable experience for all involved. “Intentionality is the first step,” she says, “to pause and ask: why are we doing this? What is the purpose? What is the need in this community or in this classroom or in this team?”

In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Parker joins Matt Abrahams to explore the art of meaningful gatherings, sharing practical strategies for everything from crafting invitations that prime engagement to designing powerful closings that leave a lasting impact. By being more thoughtful in bringing people together, we can transform ordinary meetings into extraordinary opportunities for connection and collaboration.

Podcast: Den Agile Agenda
Episode: Nej, SAFe er ikke agilt, men det er dyrt og nærmest umuligt at få til at fungere.
Pub date: 2024-10-15

Get Podcast Transcript →
powered by Listen411 - fast audio-to-text and summarization

Lad os nu få punkteret nogle af de sejlivede myter om SAFeHer vover jeg pelsen, og tager fat i SAFe frameworket nok engang. Der er jo mange diskussioner i forskellige agile fora, der handler om, hvorvidt SAFe er agilt eller ej, og det er der mange holdninger til. Nu kaster jeg mine holdninger ind i diskussionen.

I de sidste mange år har jeg brugt meget tid på at analysere, hvordan de forskellige såkaldt agile tilgange virker. Både på papiret og ude i virkeligheden. Jeg er nået til den konklusion af nej, SAFe er ikke agilt og skaber heller ikke agilitet.

I denne episode fortæller jeg, hvordan jeg er nået til den konklusion og hvorfor jeg mener, at SAFe er unødigt dyrt og tilmed nærmest umuligt at få til at fungere.

Jeg indrømmer gerne, at jeg stikker næsen meget langt frem, og ved udmærket, at mange føler meget stærkt for SAFe. Jeg vil bare gerne parkere følelserne lidt og tage et nogenlunde objektivt og udogmatisk kig på SAFe og hvad man egentlig kaster sig ud i, hvis man vælger at gå den vej.

Her i den Agile Agenda tager jeg jævnligt fat i nogle af de myter og vedtagne sandheder, som florerer i det agile landskab. I dette tilfælde er det myten om, at SAFe er den eneste vej, hvis men er stor eller skal skalere det agile. I forbindelse med en tidligere episode, som også handlede om SAFe, gravede jeg i hvad andre agile specialister mener om sagerne. Jeg ville nemlig gerne finde ud af, om jeg var ”Annette alene i verden”.

I mit gravearbejde dengang stødte jeg på en hjemmeside, som faktisk har samlet en længere række agile koryfæers holdninger til SAFe. Den hjemmeside hedder: www.safedelusion.com, og her er der mange agile kendisser, der udtaler sig, ligesom du kan finde en række cases med eksempler på store virksomheder, der valgte SAFe til, men senere er gået væk fra det igen, fordi resultaterne udeblev, eller simpelthen gav dårligere resultater, end man havde før.

Summa summarum, så er mine konklusioner baseret på mine mange års praktiske erfaring med agile transformationer og viden om agile systemer fuldstændig på linje med de holdninger, som disse verdenskendte agile folk giver udtryk for.

Jeg vil lige understrege, at jeg ikke forsøger at overbevise nogen om, at de skal eller ikke skal arbejde med SAFe. Det vil jeg slet ikke blande mig i. Mit formål er alene at være rationel og faktuel og opfordre til, at der kommer flere fakta og færre følelser på bordet, når vi snakker agile tilgange.

In this episode of the Mob Mentality Show, join us as we delve into "The Discovery of Ignorance in Product Development: Time for a Smarter Way to Deliver Customer Value" with our special guest, Gary Cohen. Drawing on his rich experience across diverse sectors—from government agencies to startups—Gary brings a wealth of insight into optimizing product discovery and delivery for true customer impact.

Key Topics Explored: The Product Discovery and Delivery Intersection

Even if a team is familiar with the 80/20 rule (e.g., where 80% of features go unused), how does it determine the right 20% to deliver? Gary shares strategies to tackle this challenge, advocating for a shift from traditional roadmap fixation to embracing dynamic, continuous discovery that keeps customer value at the forefront. Together, we examine the effectiveness of "strict" roadmap discipline (the practice of adhering to set timelines and objectives) and if it becomes a barrier to true innovation and customer value.

We also briefly touch on the FAST framework and its relevance to product discovery, emphasizing how collective discovery through mobbing allows teams to stay closer to evolving customer needs.

The Role of GenAI in Modern Product Development

Is AI is reshaping product discovery? We explore how GenAI can be a collaborative asset for mobs, not only for code development but also for bringing value by uncovering insights into customer behavior and streamlining feature prioritization. We compare "introverted" AI and "extroverted" AI in mob environments and discusses how developing refined AI inquiry skills is key to leveraging AI’s full potential. From training mobs in nuanced prompt engineering to using AI to help drive a more lean delivery, we share ways to maximize AI's impact while maintaining expert human oversight.

Bootstrapping Pair and Mob Programming in Individualist Cultures

Transitioning to collaborative programming environments such as pair or mob programming can be challenging, especially in workplaces with a culture of individuality. We offer quick tips on how to bootstrap these methods, from creating a safe space for experimentation to aligning incentives via a peer promotion process. By using context sensitive analogies, how can we influence others in the org to consider jumping into the highly effective world of mob programming?

Unpacking Behavioral Expectations: A Smarter Approach to Product Decisions

Beyond the technical, we look at the behavioral side of product monitoring, asking, “What responses do we expect from our users?” Gary emphasizes the importance of behavioral prediction in discovery, cautioning against information bias and providing ways to gauge responses to feature experiments in real-time. We highlight the importance of monitoring usage data and what it reveals about customer engagement—whether a feature elicits a “wow” or a mere “meh.”

Takeaways for Product Managers, Engineers, and Innovators

From continuous discovery to leveraging the art of AI prompting, Gary Cohen’s insights provide actionable advice for product managers, developers, and cross-functional teams who are ready to rethink their approach to product development and delivery. Whether you're looking to reduce waste, increase customer value, or integrate mob programming and GenAI into your workflow, this episode offers some experiments to try in your journey to achieve product success.

Don’t miss this engaging discussion filled with actionable strategies, insightful anecdotes, and forward-thinking approaches to innovation!

powered by Listen411 - fast audio-to-text and summarization

In this thought-provoking episode of the Mob Mentality Show, we are joined by Ariel Pérez to explore the fascinating intersection of Complex Adaptive Organizations, Organizational Topologies, and the FAST Agile Framework. Together, we dive into the challenges and opportunities of modern software development and organizational dynamics, offering actionable insights for leaders, teams, and anyone navigating complexity in their work.

Highlights from the Episode...Complex Adaptive Organizations and FAST Agile:* Manufacturing vs. Software Development: Why building the same product repeatedly differs from creating custom software . * Complexity Theory in Software Development: How unpredictable side effects shape outcomes and the pursuit of predictability in organizations. * Fixed Scope and Fixed Date: Are they real business needs, or just external motivators? What are their long-term impacts on quality and delivery? * Theory X vs. Theory Y (management theories): How a leaders' management principles and practices influence autonomy, trust, and collaboration. * Dynamic Teams in FAST Agile: The pros and cons of adapting teams dynamically to match work needs versus forcing work into rigid team structures. * Story of Transitioning to FAST: A tale of initial resistance to the FAST Agile approach and the eventual embrace of its benefits.

Building a Culture of Experimentation and Learning:* Experimentation as a Foundation for Innovation: How to test hypotheses in product development and team practices without compromising quality. * From Fear to Trust: Encouraging experimentation in new teams or under new leadership while creating safety for bold ideas. * Practical Experiments: Implementing small feature flags, A/B testing (comparing two versions in production), and time-limited trial runs to foster innovation. * Respect and Radical Candor: Building trust through open communication, mutual respect, and the occasional dose of healthy banter 😅.

Risks and Controls: A Never-Ending Game of Whack-a-Mole:* Balancing Risk and Control: How risk-heavy environments lead to more controls (e.g., CAB—Change Advisory Board, PR—Pull Request) and the ripple effects of other risks these controls create. * Holistic Thinking: Why addressing one risk often introduces others and how to manage risk without stifling agility. * Mob Programming as a Solution: Handling emergency changes safely and collaboratively without falling into the trap of excessive gatekeeping.

Key Takeaways:* Embrace complexity and adapt dynamically to navigate unpredictable challenges. * Optimize for learning through experimentation and apply these insights to real-world problems. * Avoid control-heavy environments that stifle innovation and agility by thinking holistically about risks.

Join us as we unpack these ideas and share strategies to foster a responsive, trust-based culture in your teams and organizations.

Disrupt or Digitize? The Art of Breaking the Status Quo

Why do some startups revolutionize entire industries while others just digitize legacy processes? Disruption isn’t just a buzzword; it’s a mindset and one that too many founders shy away from. Are you pre-compromising your vision before you even start?

In this episode, Chris Saad and Yaniv Bernstein break down the essence of first-principles thinking and how startups can challenge legacy constraints to create truly disruptive solutions. Drawing on examples from Uber, Netflix, and DocuSign, they discuss how to identify and creatively navigate constraints without sacrificing vision.

In this episode, you will:

• Understand the difference between incrementalism and true disruption.
• Learn how to apply first-principles thinking to reimagine industries from scratch.
• Explore real-world examples of companies like Uber and Netflix that rewrote the rules.
• Identify which constraints are real, imagined, or worth challenging.
• Master the art of balancing bold vision with practical constraints.
• Uncover strategies to creatively layer in constraints while staying true to your goals.
• Apply an iterative approach to move incrementally toward your ideal outcome without compromising vision.

Seth Godin: This is StrategySeth Godin has published 21 bestselling books that have changed the way people think about work. He writes one of the most popular blogs in the world, and two of his TED talks are among the most popular of all time. His blog is at seths.blog and his newest book is titled This is Strategy.Seth writes this: “It’s not clear to me why business plans are the way they are, but they’re often misused to obfuscate, bore, and show an ability to comply with expectations.” In this conversation, Seth and I explore the key components of a modern business plan.Key Points Big problems require small solutions. We often skip strategy because most of us have trained our whole lives for tactics. A modern business is clear about systems and the status quo. Use the system if you intend to change the system. Assertions are the heart of a business plan. Leaders need to have empathy for someone else’s “better.” Articulating alternatives helps you stay resilient when some of your assertions are inevitably wrong. Find people to support you who have a track record of shipping. A useful business plan gets easier over time and persists (and maybe even thrives) when the world changes.The six sections of a modern business plan: Truth Assertions Alternatives People Money TimeResources Mentioned This is Strategy by Seth GodinInterview NotesDownload my interview notes in PDF format (free membership required).Related Episodes How Leaders Build, with Guy Raz (episode 491) How to Grow Your Business, with Donald Miller (episode 629) Doing Better Than Zero Sum-Thinking, with Renée Mauborgne (episode 641)Discover MoreActivate your free membership for full access to the entire library of interviews since 2011, searchable by topic.

Learning to ask for help is a key practice for leaders. Be cautious about a deserving attitude. High expectations may be correlated with low resilience. Seek insight everywhere. It’s no longer sufficient just to gain ideas from direct competitors. Turning pro means showing up and doing the work, especially when we don’t feel like it. We must go through discomfort, not around it.

Shandy Welch: Leadership CoachShandy Welch is an executive leadership coach. Her coaching focus is around humanizing leadership and re-engaging individuals and teams to inspire change and innovation. She is also a Coaching for Leaders Fellow.Most leaders find themselves — at least occasionally — in conversations with people who intimidate them. In this SaturdayCast, Shandy and I share what’s worked for us and how it might help you have better conversations.Key Points Nervousness is your friend. If you feel it, that means you care. Try to get the butterflies flying in formation. You are there because you are the best person to be there. Full stop. People with visibility will expect you've done your homework. If they’ve put something out into the world, they want you to find it. Preparation helps you improvise. “You've got to learn your instrument. Then, you practice, practice, practice. And then, when you finally get up there on the bandstand, forget all that and just wail.” -Charlie Parker Always assume there is something you can do to help out someone else. Consider their perspective and what they gain from the meeting with you. Everybody has doubts and struggles.

Charles Feltman: The Thin Book of TrustCharles Feltman is the founder of Insight Coaching. He has over 25 years of professional experience coaching, facilitating, consulting to, and training people who lead others. He is the author of The Thin Book of Trust: An Essential Primer for Building Trust at Work.It’s a reality of life that we need to interact with some people we’d rather not. And it’s absolutely a reality of leadership, that sometimes we need to have a conversation with someone we don’t quite trust. In this episode, Charles and I explore how to prepare so it goes better for both parties.Key Points The four assessment domains of trust include care, sincerity, reliability, and competence.Seven steps to prepare for a conversation: Identify the assessment(s) you are concerned with: care, sincerity, reliability, and/or competence. Define the standard you are using. Identify the specific actions or behaviors that have led to your assessment of distrust. Consider what you are doing that may be contributing to the situation. Determine what you need from them in order for them to regain your trust. Decide if you are willing to talk to the person about it. Ask the other person if they would be willing to have a conversation with you.Resources Mentioned The Thin Book of Trust: An Essential Primer for Building Trust at Work by Charles FeltmanInterview NotesDownload my interview notes in PDF format (free membership required).Related Episodes How to Handle Pushback From Difficult Askers, with Vanessa Patrick (episode 637) How to Help Difficult Conversations Go Better, with Sheila Heen (episode 655) How to Change People’s Minds, with Michael McQueen (episode 676)Discover MoreActivate your free membership for full access to the entire library of interviews since 2011, searchable by topic.

David De Cremer: The AI-Savvy LeaderDavid De Cremer is the Dunton Family Dean of the D’Amore-McKim School of Business and professor of management and technology at Northeastern University. He’s also an affiliated faculty member at the Institute for Experiential AI at Northeastern University and an affiliated researcher at the Center for Collective Intelligence at MIT. His newest book is titled The AI-Savvy Leader: Nine Ways to Take Back Control and Make AI Work*.

We’ve all heard the warnings that AI is going to take our jobs. That’s certainly a possibility in the long term, but the story emerging, at least for now, is looking a little different. In this episode, David and I discuss how leaders can use AI to augment, not replace, human intelligence.

Key Points* AI is substantially different than prior digital transformations, and adoption efforts are failing at alarming rates. * Instead of leading, too often leaders are being too deferential to data and analytics teams. * Your expertise is exactly what your organization needs to deploy AI successfully. * Leaders who learn the fundamentals of AI will play an essential role in narrating dialogue between the technology experts and everyone else. * Get just enough foundational knowledge with statistics and modeling to communicate with the data and analytics folks better.

She is the author of four leadership books, including now in it’s second edition, Changing on the Job: How Leaders Become Courageous, Wise, and Steady in an Anxious World*.

We often think about feedback as something we give to someone else. What if, in addition to that, feedback is an opportunity for both parties to learn and grow. In this conversation, Jennifer and I explore how this can open a door to some of the best leadership work we do.

Key Points* If we view feedback as only giving our truth to someone else, we’ve missed a huge opportunity for growth. * Start by separating what happened from the interpretation of what happened. * Get curious about your own response: what made you react so strongly? * Talk it out. You have to welcome someone else into your thinking if you’re going to really learn. * Invite in how the other person sees the situation. Consider saying, “I’m really interested in what this looked like from your perspective.” * The process of unwinding what you hear is the good work of leadership and some the best work you can do. * Build a solution together.

I denne episode har jeg valgt at invitere Kasper Junge ind til en runde 2. Kasper har nemlig tidligere været gæst i epiode 19. Vi tager en uformel samtale om hvordan det går med karrieren og ikke mindst rollen som ny lede. Så hvordan nagivere man i en hverdag, hvor der både er fuld fart på kunstig intelligens og ikke mindst Kaspers karriere som Lead AI Engineer hos Visma Dinero.

Ydermere er Kasper også vært på Verbos Podcast samt Ingeniør Life, hvor han deler ud af alt sin viden om AI og softwareudvikling. Hans indgående kendskab til AI og evnen til at formidle komplekse tekniske emner gør ham til en eftertragtet stemme inden for branchen.

Før Dinero har Kasper haft roller som machine learning engineer hos SEO.ai og Data Scientist hos Ekstra Bladet. I dagens program vil jeg forsøge at få så meget viden om AI ud af Kasper, så vi sammen med alle jer lyttere, kan blive klogere AI og hvordan teknologien kommer til at forandre vores arbejdsprocesser og roller.

I et samfund, hvor arbejdspladsens krav og tempo stiger, bliver det stadigt vigtigere at forstå og inkludere medarbejdere med neurodivergente træk – personer, hvis hjerner arbejder anderledes, såsom dem med ADHD, autisme eller andre neurodivergente tilstande. I denne episode af Fremtidens Arbejdsplads inviterer vært Torben Tronborg Charlotte Holmer Kaufmanas, direktør for uddannelse hos Hans Knudsen Instituttet, til en uformel samtale om en ny undersøgelse, der handler om neurodivergente mennesker på jobbet. Samtalen fokuserer på, hvad vi som arbejdsgivere kan gøre for at skabe bedre og mere inkluderende arbejdspladser for mennesker med hjerner, der fungerer anderledes end gennemsnittet.

Undersøgelsen tilbyder en unik indsigt i de barrierer og muligheder, der findes for neurodivergente medarbejdere på arbejdspladsen. Episoden udforsker, hvordan ledere og HR kan tage ansvar for at skabe inkluderende miljøer, hvor forskellighed ses som en styrke.

Karthiga Seturaj: The Right And The Wrong Metrics For Agile Teams Read the full Show Notes and search through the world’s largest audio library on Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes.

Karthiga shares a team story where metrics like Flow Efficiency were implemented to improve understanding of work processes. Despite leadership support and training, the team became overly focused on “making metrics look good,” reflecting Goodhart’s Law. This led to discussions on aligning the purpose of metrics with improving workflows, not chasing numbers.

Self-reflection Question: Are your team’s metrics driving the right behaviors and outcomes?

Featured Book of the Week: Project to Product by Mik Kersten Karthiga recommends Project to Product: How to Survive and Thrive in the Age of Digital Disruption with the Flow Framework for its introduction to the Flow Framework and its impact on understanding value stream management. This book transformed her approach to metrics, highlighting bottlenecks and improving flow efficiency. She particularly appreciated its simplicity and practical application in bridging business and technical team gaps.

powered by Listen411 - fast audio-to-text and summarization

The conversation Sophie, Matthias and Benjamin discuss the the need for a pragmatic approach to evolve, and the importance of understanding the specific pain points in an organization. They also discuss the role of methodologies and frameworks in driving change and the need to focus on value creation rather than just process execution. They highlight the importance of understanding the purpose behind rituals and meetings and the need to adapt them to the organization's context.

The conversation explores the concepts of agile software development, domain-driven design, and Wardley mapping. It emphasizes the importance of understanding the why behind these methodologies and tailoring them to the specific context of an organization. Overall, the conversation encourages a thoughtful and iterative approach to software development.

Guest:

Sophie Seiwald-Højer

For 17 years, Sophie has been immersed in the world of technology at Mercedes-Benz. Throughout her career, she has accumulated a wealth of experience and insights, encountering the inevitable ‘wear and tear’ that comes with long-term dedication to the tech industry. Over the past decade, Sophie has played a pivotal role in transforming her teams from a project-led to a product-led approach. This journey has been filled with challenges, from emotional outbursts and unmet expectations to rebellious teams, downtimes, and major process and design failures. Despite these hurdles, Sophie finds immense value in these experiences and loves to share her insights with others, affirming that the journey is indeed worth it.

Mathias Patzak

Mathias’s passion for technology is evident from his early achievements. In 2002, he built his first continuous integration pipeline for 120 engineers at a German automotive company. By 2004, he had pioneered the first multi-scrum team as an engineering manager, gaining hands-on experience with extreme programming techniques. His career trajectory led him to become the CTO of AutoScout24, a leading European classified portal for cars, where he introduced lean-agile practices at scale. Since joining Amazon Web Services in 2020 as an Enterprise Strategist, Mathias meets with leaders of the world’s largest companies to help modernize their business and IT from a people, process, and technology perspective. His extensive experience and strategic insights make him a valuable asset in the tech industry.

Two of the questions we have gotten as we have promoted the workshops are: What is a cohort-based workshop? What value will I get if I join? Both are greater questions and we have an answer! Join us for a one-hour open house to explore how to diagnose and solve work intake challenges, the most critical issue facing organizations today. This session will provide an overview of our course designed to help you to master work intake and ensure your organization thrives. We’ll cover key takeaways such as effective prioritization, navigating organizational structures, measuring work intake flow, and diagnosing common work intake issues. You'll leave with actionable insights and a clear plan to address work intake problems immediately.

Pigilucci states, “Stoicism is an approach to living in which moral character is the only truly worthy thing to cultivate.” While I believe Spock (Star Trek) has a high moral character, if you are expecting How To Be A Stoic to teach how to be a Vulcan, you will be disappointed. If nothing else, the Stoics have a wry sense of humor. Forewarned is forearmed. Week 1: Week 2: Next SPaMCAST The SPaMCAST 826 will explore whether urgency has more power in prioritization in collaborative events. Importance is supposed to trump urgency but when you involve many voices things are murkier.

In this episode of WLEI Podcast, we welcome Sandrine Olivencia, author of Build to Sell and expert in applying Lean principles to software development. Sandrine shares her journey from waterfall to Agile and eventually to Lean Product and Process Development (LPPD), which she sees as a more holistic and sustainable system for building great products and lasting businesses. The conversation explores:

• The importance of Gemba and why leaders at all levels need to stay closely connected to customers and the problems they face.
• How Lean thinking can help companies avoid “feature frenzy mode” and maintain a clear focus on delivering customer value.
• Why even mature tech companies often struggle to develop people and the steps leaders can take to build a culture of problem-solving and continuous improvement.
• Practical advice on where to start implementing Lean principles, including Sandrine’s three key strategies for building a more product-led company.
• The limitations of so-called “founder mode” and “manager mode” and how an alternative “Lean management mode” addresses the shortcomings of both.

In this episode of the WLEI podcast, we explore the LPPD principle: Understand Before You Execute. Too often, companies commit to a product design before assessing their customers’ needs, leading to development churn and failed products. The conversation examines how to avoid that trap by precisely identifying customer needs before development and features a case study of a company that did just that.

However, people did not engage in this conversation. Artificial intelligence, specifically Google’s NotebookLM, generated the entire discussion based only on this six-minute video clip. The result is astonishing.

Tune in and share in the comments what you thought of the conversation.

powered by Listen411 - fast audio-to-text and summarization

“Product marketing’s purpose is to drive product adoption by shaping market perception through strategic marketing activities that align with business goals.”

Are you making the mistake of focusing too much on product and not enough on the market? In this episode, Martina Lauchengo, a partner at Costanoa Ventures and the author of the SVPG book “LOVED: How to Rethink Marketing for Tech Products”, discusses the often-overlooked importance of marketing in the success of tech products.

Martina challenges the traditional notion of “product market fit,” suggesting “market product fit” instead, because a product’s value is determined by the market’s capacity to absorb it. She emphasizes the critical role of go-to-market strategy in informing product development and driving adoption.

We explore the four fundamentals of product marketing outlined in Martina’s book: ambassador, strategist, storyteller, and evangelist. Martina shares real-world examples of how these principles have been applied successfully, highlighting the importance of understanding customer needs, crafting compelling narratives, and enabling authentic evangelism.

Tune in to discover valuable insights into how to rethink marketing for your tech products and achieve greater success.

What it takes to develop as a leader.

Great leaders and great communicators aren't born, they're made. That's why John Hennessy and Tina Seelig, directors of Stanford University’s Knight-Hennessy Scholars, are working to create the great storytellers of tomorrow, today.

"We decided that there was a leadership void, and that was a driving motivation to do this," says Hennessy, former Stanford president and current Alphabet chairman. The program, which he co-founded in 2016 with Stanford alum and Nike co-founder Phil Knight, equips scholars with essential leadership skills through hands-on experience and collaborative problem-solving.

Seelig, executive director of the program, emphasizes that great leadership centers on effective storytelling. "No matter how compelling your invention, your idea, the thing you want to do in the world, if you can't communicate it in [an] effective way, nobody's going to listen," she says.

In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Hennessy, Seelig, and host Matt Abrahams explore what it takes to develop as a leader, discussing the role of communication, the power of empathy, and the centrality of storytelling.

Know your audience and tailor the message for them.

In high-stakes communication, every word counts. For Jen Psaki, that means knowing who she’s talking to — so she knows just what to say.

As the former White House Press Secretary and current host of Inside with Jen Psaki on MSNBC, Psaki has discovered that communication isn’t about “saying the most words or saying them the loudest,” but about knowing your audience well enough to tailor the message just for them. “You need to think about how you're going to get your audience to listen to you,” she says. “The goal of communicating is to crack the door open so somebody wants to hear more.”

In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Psaki and host Matt Abrahams explore her approach to strategic communication: identifying your audience and using what you know to engage with them and get them to engage with you.

Podcast: Den Agile Agenda
Episode: Alle organisationer arbejder i 3 flyvehøjder. Kanban-metoden skaber flow i og imellem dem
Pub date: 2024-08-13

powered by Listen411 - fast audio-to-text and summarization

Uanset om du arbejder i en lille, stor eller gigantisk virksomhed, så foregår alt det arbejde I laver i 3 forskellige flyvehøjder. Der er simpelthen 3 forskellige niveauer. Nemlig det strategiske, det koordinerende og det udførende.

Uhyggeligt tit er der ikke sammenhæng mellem disse 3 niveauer, og den ene hånd ved ikke, hvad den anden laver. Derfor ser man tit, at teams på det udførende niveau arbejder på ting og sager, der ikke har rod i strategien, men stikker af i alle mulige andre og mere tilfældige retninger.

Det er selvfølgelig ikke særlig smart, for man kan kun bruge sine ressourcer 1 gang, og det skulle da helst være på noget, der hænger sammen med strategien. Og lige netop dét skulle det koordinerende lag helst sikre. Det gør de bare langt fra altid.

Men der findes en løsning på, hvordan man kan skabe den sammenhæng, der bør være mellem de 3 niveauer. Den løsning hedder Kanban, og i denne episode fortæller jeg om, hvordan det så lige hænger sammen.

How do I help my team become agile?

Hello and welcome to episode 100 of the HSS. If this hapesn to be the first episode you lsten to, in each episode I discuss a difefernt essential skill with the help of an expert. I have spoken to globally recognized authors, Harvard professors, military leaders, psychologists, pscyhitiatrics, people who have done scientific reserahc on how to become better at the so called "soft" skills to help you thrive in your career.

I want to thank you for being with me in this learning journey. I started this alongside my graduate studies in Organizational Psychology at Harvard, and through my own career journey which at this time involves working with multiole technical teams to help them become high perfoming, and create an agile organization.

This is why today I chose to highlight this topic of agility because it embodies what soft skills are about, how to integrate human dynamics to deliver a solution.

In this episode I’ll play some excerpts from some of the folks who co-created the famous Agile Manifesto, the base document for all things agile. Let's listen to Jeff Sutherland talking about what makes a great team, Jon Kern, on what we really need or don’t need, to get things done faster, and Arie van Benekum on the essentials of collaboration.
