Ron Schmelzer and Kathleen Walch - Hosts of the AI Today Podcasts - 2022

I had the pleasure of speaking again with Jurgen Appelo in regards to his work on the Unfix model.  He and his team have taken the work on Team Topologies and extended it with a number of organizational patterns.  As he says they are like organizational lego blocks that allow you to visualize and experiment with different organizational structures when you are designing an new operating model for your teams.  He has integrated a lot of tools from his Management 3.0 work as well and the community resources are a treasure trove of goodies.

I hope you enjoy the talk as much as I did.

I joined Brian Milner from MountainGoat Software and we chatted on the Agile Mentor Podcast.

Enjoy this cross posted podcast from Brian.  I always enjoy speaking with him.

Join Brian and his guest Bob Payne as they discuss the principles of lean thinking and how they apply to Agile methodologies.  

In this episode of the “Agile Mentors” Podcast, Brian sits down with Bob Payne to discuss the intersection of Agile and lean thinking. As an experienced Agile coach and host of the “Agile Toolkit Podcast,” Bob shares his insights and offers practical tips for implementing lean thinking in your own team.

Listen in as they explore the fundamental principles of lean thinking in Agile methodologies.  They discuss managing flow, not workers, and the importance of continuous improvement and experimentation to achieve sustainable, high-quality results in your organization and success in today's fast-paced business environment.

Dana and I chat about facilitation in the virtual space, Liberating Structures and Training from the Back of the Room.  I always learn something when I chat with Dana and I hope you will find something actionable from this conversation.

I spoke with Ulrich and Marie Lages at the Business Agility 2022 conference.  We talked about the radical reorganization that they undertook at Ibeo Automotive Systems.  Ulrich is the founder of this Automotive Parts Manufacturing company and developed the LIDAR system that is used in many autonomous vehicles. 

Marie and Ulrich discuss the radical reshaping of Ibeo when they blew up the traditional hierarchy and reformed around a flat team of teams approach from the bottom up.

I really enjoyed this conversation. Even though it was a noisy spot that we recorded in I hope you will enjoy it as well.
