#0087 - Stephen Bungay - The Art of Action
Saturday Sep 02, 2023
Saturday Sep 02, 2023
Join Murray Robinson and Shane Gibson as they chat with Stephen Bungay about the art of action. What can managers learn about leading in uncertain conditions from military history and modern NATO tactics? Military history shows that predictive plans and standard operating procedures work well when we are doing the same thing a thousand times, but fail badly when there's uncertainty, friction or competition, as there always is in software product development. Stephen explains how the military uses mission command to empower teams to achieve the leader's intent in an uncertain world. He explains the mission briefing process, the back briefing process and the review process. And he tells lots of entertaining stories from military history to explain his point. Join us to learn how to become a much more effective leader in conditions of uncertainty.

Friday Jul 21, 2023

Join Murray Robinson and Shane Gibson as they chat with Jennifer Pahlka about her new book, Recoding America. Why government is failing in the digital age and how we can do better. In this episode, we discuss why governments at all levels produce poor quality online services, like healthcare.gov in the US, that cost of fortune and a very difficult to use. Jennifer explains that government is hamstrung by a rigid, hierarchical, risk avoidant waterfall culture, where everyone involved adds rules and requirements to protect themselves from blame. But there is an agile product development approach taking hold in government that produces much better outcomes and she discusses how it can and should be implemented in every bureaucracy.
