Value Delivery Lead by obsession.
Lean Value Stream Optimizer by passion.
Engineer by trade.
“The bullshit economy is coming to an end. Changing nothing and calling it lean, agile, or design thinking as creative engine is futile. Building the wrong things faster misses the point. The Krugerrand is now over 4,000 USD and it did not work on anything, did not invent anything, did not improve anything, and did not make the world better. Yet it continues to outperform the bullshit economy. Let’s re-think everything. Go back to basic. Quantifying value, mapping value streams, and deliver higher value faster than ever. You can’t make it so by keeping your org chart and corner office folks happy. ”
Let’s rethink value and create real things.
“Organizations often know the cost of everything, yet quantifying value seems ... really hard. Cost is easy to calculate, value is hard to imagine. That’s not an excuse, but an opportunity to re-visit your value streams at the portfolio level to deliver higher value faster. The Industrial Age is over. The Creative Economy is already being shaped by companies that focus on long term value, not short term cost. Let’s start there. Quantify business value. Producing garbage faster with Lean or Agile won’t cut it.”
Think “after” AI.
“Who killed Agile? The status-quo had no choice but to secure their corner offices by placing Agile lipstick on the Waterfall pig. They succeeded in creating an illusion of agility yet still operate as
Industrial Age relic of an era long bygone. Think! Everything is on the line.”
Fix Fake
“The future is about people and their creating empowered and agile environments that produce the extraordinary. Only empowered teams can change the system. It’s the system that sucks, not your people!
Forcing people to go back to the office so they can video conference with the teams in India and spend their lives in traffic. Seriously? That’s the best you can come up with? Thousands of books have been written on leadership, most of them by managers, not leaders. But now, you actually have to lead. Can we chat? If so, please ping me.”
