I’ve been guiding what you might call organizational “transformations” for the last decade and although this started with agile, I soon came to believe that isolating the transformation success of a company to only the tech teams or only the PMO processes or only customer service, etc. was short-sighted. The biggest and ironically the most undervalued element needing transformation was always the leadership and culture in these changes.
This publication is to start conversations about these topics which are so essential but so hard to wrap our minds around.
So I’m recruiting a group of fellow evidence hunters to help me provide a selection of interesting articles and critiques to you, hopefully regularly over the year. The first goal is to summarise and introduce you to blogs, articles, or academic papers that make us think and the second goal is to help us to apply some critical thinking and see if we can act on these within our real workplaces.
I picked a good controversial title to kick off with, I hope you enjoy the summaries and reviews.
If you think of topics you'd really like investigated in future issues drop me a message.
