Today’s coffee companion helps other businesses be better.
We talked about:
- how contracts and standard Ts&Cs are struggling to catch up with the way in which software and consulting now operates, especially when it comes to IT
- the 3D chess of working out the potential impacts of standard Ts&Cs
- how ultimately it all comes down to how much either party can afford in legal fees
- the gap that can emerge between strategy thinkers and doers – which may or may not be filled by good Product Management
- how product management needs to bring strategy to life, manage the flow of priorities into people building things but also act as a conduit to sales so they don’t end up selling things that have everyone rolling their eyes (again)
- deconstructing a business and then piecing it back together again in ways that can make sense for who is responsible for what
- the ticketification of modern business
- being clear on the why and the how
- confusing leadership with hierarchical status (and how that can exacerbate in a flat organisation)
- Bourdieu and the concepts of economic, cultural and social capital
- Bulgarian rescue dogs
#100Coffees is an exercise in being intentionally unintentional. I’m meeting up with people, friends and strangers, to have an hour of conversation to see what happens. If you’d like to be a part of it and meet either in person or online, you can sign up for a coffee here: https://calendly.com/matt-ballantine
