SHOW NOTES:
Topic 1 - Welcome back. It’s been way too long. What have you been up to lately? Tell us a little bit about your co-author and where the research for this book came from.
Topic 2 - This is a different type of book than The Phoenix Project or Unicorn Project, in that it seems more about managerial structure and research than the inspirational story-telling of past books. Is this addressing a different audience, or you felt that it needed a different framework to make the biggest impact?
Topic 3 - At the core of the book are three concepts, amplification (where are the problems) which results in slowificaion (create space for problem solving) and simplification (make problems themselves easier to solve). Walk us through each of these.
Topic 4 - As I was reading this book, the thing that jumped out at me the most was the importance of alignment between problem scope, how teams or individuals were aligned, and how much flexibility could be given to different parts of the problem/solution.
Topic 5 - The Phoenix and Unicorn Projects inspired a generation of IT professionals to be the champion of the change in their organization. What feedback have you gotten from the readers of Wiring the Winning Organization so far?
Topic 6 - These days everyone wants learnings to be quick and with immediate results. Is there a TikTok version of the learnings from this book that anyone could use immediately?
