Seeking Values (Ripplty)
In this conversation, we recollected about how we wrote values for our collective. How we started with initial visceral verbs and then continued to work out our values through ritual, discussion, relaxing the boundaries, exercises and writing. We also discussed how important values are to relevance realisation (i.e. what becomes relevant to a group of people).
The Wanderer – Voyages, Challenges and Life (Ripplty)
In this conversation we talked about a passage from the book ‘The Wanderer’ about how a fulfilling life is a life full of challenges. The difference between a voyage and a cruise.
Why Greatness Cannot be Planned – Accenture Technology Strategy
In this talk, I outlined my understanding of how the brain uses heuristics to navigate complexity and how we need to use reduce the search space to increase our chances of finding something great (which we cannot predict I advance)
Agile Burnout – Cambridge University Press and Assessment Guild
In this talk, I related how we can spot burnout and how agile working practices can lead to burnout within the context of a ‘get ahead’ society. We then, as a group, brainstormed how we can mitigate burnout, especially as team coaches or managers.
Language is the basis of Strategy – Accenture Agility Business Practice
In this talk, I made the bold claim that language is the basis of all strategy – and that strategzing is essentially a function that separates us from primates. We can strategise essentially because we have language (which is our greatest tool) – a psycho-technology. However, if language is used sloppily then it is impossible to create a coherent strategy.
