The Art Of Making No Decisions

My company, Happy, was not in happy shape! Sales had flatlined over 5 years. We were making a substantial loss. We had enough in the bank to last just 6…

Hi All, I'm interested in how companies of folks in Australia are handling vaccinations. Encouraging employee's, incentivising, mandating? What's happening where you work? What would you like to see before you go back to the office?
We're #hiring. If you'd like to contribute to our decisions are made about services and infrastructure and join a growing team as a Full Stack Developer ... read on!

1.9M fewer Australians. That's the forecasted impact on population by 2041. It equates to 788k fewer children (466k primary, 322k secondary) and 162k fewer new homes req'd in Metro Melb alone. What does that mean for the services you provide?👇 #forecasting #intelligence #covid

Full stack developer sick of working in a feature factory, several steps removed from users and "the business"? Want to work on apps used by over 230 cities & towns in Australia and impacting over 20M people? This Melbourne based job might just be for you home.id.com.au/job/full-stac…
If you're interested in knowing more about the consequences of COVID on the Australian Population - 1.9M fewer people by 2041 that expected, 788k fewer children, 162k fewer house built in Greater Melbourne - this is an analysis worth reading. content.id.com.au/demographi…
Scrum is a set of prescribed processes that optimizes for control. Kanban is a scheduling system that optimizes for flow and limits waste. Both of them help you build software incrementally. However, neither of them help you build sustainable software or sustainable teams. 1/5

Interested in examples of companies "flexible work" policies. If you're willing to share, would love to see different versions. (from companies that are not remote-first). #flexibleworking

One of the best pieces I've seen on why collaboration fails and what to do about it. Rob Cross has been studying this stuff for decades. Note also Rob shows that--despite the hype--most organizations aren't ready to switch to "agile" team and network based structures

How does organisational culture work? and is it healthy??

This is how organisational culture works. Something underneath the surface (not explicit or visible to individual actors) quietly amplifies conformity and dampens outliers:

Why do people take perfectly reasonable, and precise, technical terms ("value stream" and "MVP" come to mind) and imagine that any random garbage definition that pops into their head is what the term actually means? Laziness + Dunning/Kruger is a deadly combination.
Worth listening to.

I am not the first one and I surely won't be the last one to point out that traditional electoral maps are a misleading way to represent the outcome of an election. This is something you can't stress enough: try-to-impeach-this.jetpack.…
