Yesterday’s coffee companion, the first for a while, is an expert on Culture.
We talked about:
- coming down from the adrenaline of pitch work
- the wasted effort that gets expended during procurement exercises
- a “hackathon” with the assessment alternative approach to finding the right partners
- how the big firms would game it anyway
- agendaless meetings
- rekindling coding fun through the wonders of GenAI
- culture change versus culture cultivation
- getting people to change their ways of working through peer working
- the depth of influences on an organisation’s culture, and which parts of it can be shepherded.
- exploring potential ways of working together
- why making “everything and everyone” agile is a bad strategy
- the Equal Experts no-hierarchy model
- whether no hierarchy could be adopted anywhere (my hunch is “no”)
