Future Squared with Steve Glaveski - Helping You Navigate a Brave New World

Welcome back to Future Squared for yet another installment of Fast Fix Friday, although this one is another not so fast fix edition. In this episode, I aim to shine a light on the deceptive practices being carried out by digital agencies across the globe, and whilst I will be speaking specifically about practices pertaining to serving corporate innovation clients, the same set of practices are affecting young startups and entrepreneurs everywhere. I feel it my obligation, as somebody who works in the space of innovation and entrepreneurship, to ring the warning bell. If it means that one less person, or one less organisation, ends up not spending tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars on inferior applications that don’t serve to move the needle an inch forward, and in fact go on to compromise the individual or organization’s desire to bring something new into the world, then I will consider this a very worthy use of my time. Of course, not all digital agencies are created equal, just like not all innovation consultants, are created equal. There is good and bad in every industry, but having seen first hand through my work on too many times to count, digital agencies over-charging and under-delivering, I couldn’t sit idly by any longer. To make my point, I first need to take you back to the mid 19th Century to a rural town in the Australian State of Victoria by the name of Ballarat. --- Employee to Entrepreneur book: www.employeetoentrepreneur.io Listen to Future Squared on Apple Podcasts  goo.gl/sMnEa0 Also available on: Spotify, Google Podcasts, TuneIn, Stitcher and Soundcloud Twitter: www.twitter.com/steveglaveski Instagram: www.instagram.com/@thesteveglaveski Future Squared: www.futuresquared.xyz Steve Glaveski: www.steveglaveski.com  Medium: www.medium.com/@steveglaveski NEW Facebook group: www.facebook.com/groups/futuresquared/   GET COACHED BY LUCAS: https://www.ergogenic.health/product/coaching  GET LUCAS TO DESIGN YOUR SUPPLEMENT PROTOCOL: https://www.ergogenic.health/product/custom-stack

Episode #327: Beware of Digital Agencies Selling Innovation

Bryan Caplan

Bryan Caplan is Professor of Economics at George Mason University. He is the author of The Myth of the Rational Voter which was named "the best political book of the year" by the New York Times, he wrote Selfish Reasons to Have More Kids, and the newly released, The Case Against Education: Why the Education System Is a Waste of Time and Money, which forms the basis of today’s conversation.   He is currently collaborating with Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal Zach Weinersmith on All Roads Lead to Open Borders, a nonfiction graphic novel on the philosophy and social science of immigration, and writing a new book, Poverty: Who To Blame. His work has been featured in the New York Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, The Atlantic, American Economic Review, Economic Journal, Journal of Law and Economics, and Intelligence, and appeared on ABC, Fox News, MSNBC, and C-SPAN.   We went an inch deep and a mile wide in this conversation. Discover why:  Bryan, a celebrated career academic himself, thinks that the education system is a waste of time and money How today’s education system teaches for short-term memory retention, not comprehension Two solutions Bryan has proposed to help solve the problems with today’s education system    I didn’t agree with Bryan on a number of topics, namely, he seems to completely disregard the threat of technology and automation on employment, suggesting that there is a lack of evidence on this and using the fact that we’ve always created more jobs than we’ve destroyed in the past to forecast the future of employment. The thing about the past is that we never had technology like the kind we possess today and the kind we’ll possess in the near future.   He also says that people can’t learn how to learn. On the latter point, I suspect that this had more to do with the way I framed the question so as to not elicit the response I was expecting. A simple example of getting better at learning is teaching someone else what you’ve read in a book, rather than just reading the words on a page. This is more likely to aid comprehension and retention, at least in the short term.   Nonetheless, as you’ll hear Bryan suggest in the lightning round, it’s important to collect evidence and opinions from different fields, from different people, to get all sides of the story and challenge your own belief system and avoid confirmation bias. This is one of the reasons why I enjoy hosting this show so much - because I get to interview and speak with experts in their own fields who contradict experts in other fields - it forces me to expand my own view of the world. And when it comes to learning, Socrates was right, the more we know, the more we know that we don’t know. And that is why we keep learning. And that is why I keep interviewing thought leaders across a range of disciplines. With that, enjoy today’s conversation on the case against education with Bryan Caplan.   Topics Discussed:  Why the education system is a waste of time and money Why College grads earn more than high school grads, on average, in the US Learning skills versus signalling employability The three traits that education signals Whether education and entrepreneurship go hand in hand Social desirability bias Summer learning loss Comprehension v Memory The threat of AI and automation on employment and how this impacts education Education ecosystem challenges Vocational learning Education spending cuts    Show Notes:  Bryan’s website: Bcaplan.com Bryan on Twitter: @bryan_caplan Faculty page: https://economics.gmu.edu/people/bcaplan Bryan on Econlog: http://econlog.econlib.org/authorbcaplan.html  Get Bryan's books:  The Case Against Education: https://amzn.to/2BMgPuE The Myth of the Rational Voter: https://amzn.to/2BPo5FS Selfish Reasons to Have More Kids: https://amzn.to/2Lr9rUR    Join the conversation on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/futuresquared/ where you can discuss episodes, request guests, propose questions for forthcoming guests and access exclusive content and special offers!

Episode #222: The Case Against Education with Bryan Caplan

Walker Deibel

Walker Deibel is an acquisition entrepreneur. He has cofounded three startups and acquired seven companies. He currently serves as the President of EDC, which helps companies with multiple locations manage their supply chain through sourcing, inventory, and fulfillment management. Walker is the Managing Director for Centra, which currently owns and manages three companies. In addition Centra is a partner in over a half dozen firms covering: distribution, manufacturing, education, childcare, film and television production, enterprise software, online content, and eCommerce. Walker is the bestselling author of Buy Then Build: How Acquisition Entrepreneurs Outsmart the Startup Game, released by Lioncrest Publishing. He has also produced almost a dozen films and had premieres at some of the world’s most esteemed festivals, including Sundance, SXSW, and Toronto International Film Festival. Listeners of this podcast would have learned all about building new ventures from the ground up, but not as much on acquiring ventures with a foundation to build upon, so it was great to get some fresh perspectives from Walker on a topic I haven’t explored in depth on this show. We unpacked lots of lessons, including:  When buying first makes more sense than building first How raising capital for an acquisition opportunity can become a virtual walk in the park when compared with raising capital for a startup; and How to identify and evaluate acquisition opportunities   With that, enjoy my conversation with Walker Deibel. Topics Discussed:  Why you should buy an existing company rather than starting from scratch How to raise capital for an acquisition What to look for in an acquisition target Where to find target companies and how to build your own deal-flow How to value an acquisition target What to look for in yourself before acquiring a company The CEO mindset What to glean from the seller of the target company Jim Collins’ hedgehog theory How to transition leadership post-acquisition How results fuel motivation and passion  Show Notes: Get the book:  https://www.amazon.com/Employee-Entrepreneur-Earn-Freedom-Matters/dp/0730363864 Web: Buythenbuild.com Twitter: @walkerdeibel --- Patreon: www.patreon.com/thesteveglaveski Employee to Entrepreneur book: www.employeetoentrepreneur.io Listen to Future Squared on Apple Podcasts  goo.gl/sMnEa0 Also available on: Spotify, Google Podcasts, TuneIn, Stitcher and Soundcloud Twitter: www.twitter.com/steveglaveski Instagram:Â www.instagram.com/@thesteveglaveski Future Squared: www.futuresquared.xyz Steve Glaveski: www.steveglaveski.com  Medium: www.medium.com/@steveglaveski NEW Facebook group: www.facebook.com/groups/futuresquared/   GET COACHED BY LUCAS: https://www.ergogenic.health/product/coaching  GET LUCAS TO DESIGN YOUR SUPPLEMENT PROTOCOL: https://www.ergogenic.health/product/custom-stack

Episode #172: The 4 Ps of Innovation and Entrepreneurship

Jason Calacanis is a tech entrepreneur, wildly successful angel investor, and the host of the popular weekly podcast This Week in Startups. He's the founder of a series of conferences that bring entrepreneurs together with potential investors.   As a “scout” for top-tier Silicon Valley venture capital firm Sequoia Capital and later as an angel investor, Jason has invested in 150 early-stage startups including four that have achieved billion-dollar valuations (so far) such as Uber, Evernote and Tumblr.   Jason's newly released book "Angel: How to Invest in Technology Startups: Timeless Advice from an Angel Investor Who Turned $100,000 into $100,000,000" puts readers inside the minds of successful angel investors, helping to understand how they prioritize and make the decisions that have resulted in phenomenal profits.   Jason provides a step by step roadmap, revealing how leading investors evaluate new ventures, calculating the risks and rewards, and explains how the best startups leverage relationships with angel investors for the best results.   In this episode we go back to Jason’s rough upbringing in Brooklyn, NY in the early 80s and cover a lot of ground leading up to the present day so you can expect to learn a lot of things, including:    How to pick a billion dollar founder or startup How to bounce back from failure What Jason thinks of and what advice he has for corporates investing in startups    All topics discussed:  Jason’s humble beginnings in Brooklyn, NY What got Jason into startup investing The alchemy of startup investing Why you should always wait for external validation from other investors before investing Why ideas are a dime a dozen and you should invest in startups that have demonstrated traction The biggest mistake first time startup investors make The changing nature of angel investing and venture capital On books becoming a business card for many people Why building quality deal flow is a popularity contest of sorts How to get started investing with little money The number one thing Jason looks for in entrepreneurs Other factors to evaluate startups and entrepreneurs, including Jason’s ‘four founder questions’ How Jason navigated his Silicon Valley Reporter going bust during the dot com boom How to ask good questions What Jason’s views on corporate venture capital are and what advice he has for corporates looking to or already investing in startups How to go about taking lots of small bets when diversifying and building your portfolio What Jason thinks about ICOs, cryptocurrency and blockchain    Show notes:  Get the book: https://amzn.to/2QpLqkX The book: Angelthebook.com @jason on Twitter Jason’s podcast: ThisWeekInStartups.com  --- Listen on iTunes @ goo.gl/sMnEa0  Listen on Stitcher @ www.stitcher.com/podcast/future  Listen on Google Play @  bit.ly/FSGoog If you've got any questions on this podcast feel free to send an email to steve@collectivecamp.us or tweet me on Twitter @steveglaveski or @future_squared Follow me on Instagram: @thesteveglaveski Like us?

Episode #181: $100K to $100M with Jason Calacanis

Dr. Mercola is a board certified family physician that has treated 25,000 patients from around the world. He encourages and educates people about safe and inexpensive nutritional, lifestyle and exercise options to radically reduce their risk of dying prematurely from dangerous drugs and surgeries. He is also the founder of Mercola.com which has been the most visited natural health site on the internet for the last ten years with over 15 million unique visitors every month.  His goal is to catalyze a complete transformation of the fatally flawed health care system that is responsible for prematurely killing thousands of people every day. He’s the author of numerous books including Fat For Fuel, The No Grain Diet, Superfuel and his new book which comes out in April, KetoFast: Rejuvenate Your Health with a Step-by-Step Guide to Timing Your Ketogenic Meals. We explored myriad topics in this episode, including:  Why fat isn’t necessarily bad for you and paradoxically, how it can be good for you and what kind of food you should be eating A much more manageable alternative to 3 day-water fasts that has as many, if not more benefit Why cancer may have a lot to do, not just with damaged DNA, but also metabolic dysfunction, and how fasting and a ketogenic diet can help you live a longer, healthier life  Joseph picked up a number of my own previously flawed beliefs in this conversation so I’m sure you will learn a thing or two, if not many more, to help you optimise your health and performance.    Our audio connection wasn’t the strongest so the conversation does drop in and out occasionally, but there is so much gold in this episode that I hope you’ll put up with it.                                    Topics Discussed:  Joseph’s many books and his early inspiration How our food is making us sick Why (the right kind of) fat is good for you Is cancer a result of damaged DNA or metabolic dysfunction? The role of mitochondria How the Big Food lobby essentially pointed the finger at fat in order to sell more cheap carbs How dangerous documentaries like ‘What The Health’ may force people down an unhealthy line Exercise and fasting - when should you eat, and should you train in a fasted state? The afternoon crash and how to avoid it When your body needs carbs The difference between a cyclical and conventional keto diet Cold showers and mitochondrial function Evolutionary biology and fasting Should you supplement your diet with MCT oils and keytone esters?

Episode #316: Dr Joseph Mercola on Fat, Fasting and Keto

Georges St

If you’re not familiar who Georges St Pierre aka GSP is, he is arguably the GOAT, that is, the greatest of all time mixed martial artist. He is a former welterweight and middleweight UFC champion, and still holds the record for most consecutive wins in the UFC, tied at 20, and boasts a professional record of 26 wins and just 2 losses, both losses coming in championship fights relatively early in his career against Matt Hughes and Matt Serra, and both losses were avenged in relatively quick succession as GSP, reflected, learned and applied the lessons to overcome his adversaries the second time around. GSP grew up in Montreal and studied and trained in Kyokushin Karate as a child. In early adulthood, whilst trying to make ends meet so he could invest in his training and his career, Georges spent time bouncing at nightclubs, worked as a garbage cleaner, slept on the floor of a dilapidated apartment and caught freezing cold trains to the Bronx in NYC to train with the best. As listeners of this show will appreciate, talent will only get you so far. The world is awash with naturally talented people who never truly fulfilled their potential or came anywhere close to the success they could have achieved if they persisted. Persistence is everything. As such, I was keen to understand what got GSP through those early days when he was sleeping on the floor. What kept him going in the face of supposedly insurmountable odds when even those closest to him thought he was crazy to even think that he could one day be a UFC champion.

Whether you want to learn about business models and testing ideas with Alex Osterwalder, building a corporate startup with Dan Toma, or learn about topics such as design thinking, and agile fundamentals, head to www.collectivecampus.io/online I’ll also be running a 2-hour webinar on remote work and productivity in early July, based on the popularity of my five levels of remote work article, which you can learn more about at bit.ly/fivelevelswebinar And to today’s episode. Dr. Alexander (Alex) Osterwalder is one of the world's most influential strategy and innovation experts, a leading author, entrepreneur, and in-demand speaker whose work has changed the way established companies do business and how new ventures get started. Ranked No. 4 of the top 50 management thinkers worldwide, Osterwalder is known for simplifying the strategy development process and turning complex concepts into digestible visual models. Together with Yves Pigneur, he invented the Business Model Canvas, Value Proposition Canvas, and Business Portfolio Map - practical tools that are trusted by millions of business practitioners from leading global companies including Microsoft, Coca-Cola, Nestlé, MasterCard, Sony, Fujitsu, 3M, Intel, Roche, Colgate-Palmolive, and many more. He returned to the podcast to talk about what leaders can do to build truly invincible companies and weather storms that are a result of technological and social change, financial market shocks and of course, viruses. We explored: 1 - what defines an invincible company 2 - how companies can balance a portfolio between exploration of new business models and exploitation of existing ones 3 - what companies like Amazon, IKEA and Logitech have done to play the long game and stay relevant 4 - and finally, how one such invincible company profiled in the book, Airbnb, might weather the storm of COVID-19 With that, I bring you the one and only, Alex Osterwalder. Topics Discussed:  Lockdown in Switzerland Alex’s new book What is an invincible company The wakeup call we needed? Cashflow runway and business model reinvention Case studies and success stories Tools for managing innovation Leading indicators v trailing indicators Hilti Bosch Culture lags systems The optimism bias and the narrative fallacy Transcending boundaries Explore v exploit portfolios When to kill a project Why entrepreneurs are more risk averse than the general public Why market validation isn’t a conclusive test, but an indicative one The ‘science vs art’ of innovation and entrepreneurship How to use patterns to shift from outdated business models Questions to ask when assessing business opportunities How to play the long game amidst ROI uncertainty Metered funding Innovation Project Scorecard Placing many bets, and how Testing business ideas The culture map Values alignement and intrinsic motivation Delegations of authority Airbnb in crisis mode and why they’ll come out of it  Show Notes: Online courses: www.collectivecampus.io/online Remote work webinar: http://bit.ly/fivelevelswebinar Strategyzer: Strategyzer.com The Invincible Company: https://amzn.to/2Lg2tEM Testing Business Ideas: https://amzn.to/2YLSpLo Twitter: @alexosterwalder --- Listen to Future Squared on Apple Podcasts  goo.gl/sMnEa0 Also available on: Spotify, Google Podcasts, TuneIn, Stitcher and Soundcloud Twitter: www.twitter.com/steveglaveski Instagram: www.instagram.com/@thesteveglaveski Future Squared: www.futuresquared.xyz Steve Glaveski: www.steveglaveski.com Medium: www.medium.com/@steveglaveski Steve's book: www.employeetoentrepreneur.io NEW Facebook group: www.facebook.com/groups/futuresquared/ Watch on YouTube: https://bit.ly/2N77FLx   GET COACHED BY LUCAS: https://www.ergogenic.health/product/coaching  GET LUCAS TO DESIGN YOUR SUPPLEMENT PROTOCOL: https://www.ergogenic.health/product/custom-stack

Episode #381: Alex Osterwalder on Building an Invincible Company

As I’ve gone deeper and deeper into entrepreneurship and leaership roles in the past few years, I’ve develoepd an interest in learning from juxtaposed fields - whether it be sports, the arts or military strategy. I was just about to get out  Having grown up reading about the likes of Alexander the Great, the Viking Age and Sun Tzu and having enjoyed novels such as the Iliad and the Odyssey, I had already started to develop an appreciation for how military strategy can be applied to reaching your personal and professional goals.  I was just about to burn a small hole in my pocket buying a number of military strategy books online when, as I was scanning the shelf at the Melbourne Airport bookstore on route to Los Angeles a couple of months ago, I stumbled upon Robert Greene’s 33 Strategies of War. You might be familiar with Robert Greene from his classic business and personal development book, the 48 Laws of Power.  The 33 Strategies of War is is described as a "guide to the subtle social game of everyday life informed by the ... military principles in war" It is composed of discussions and examples on offensive and defensive strategies from a wide variety of people and conditions, applying them to social conflicts such as family quarrels and business negotiation. In this book summary, I aim to bring you some of my key take-aways, but please, don’t leave it there, the 33 Strategies of War is a must have for any bookshelf devoted to developing a better understanding of the world and how to best navigate in it to achieve desired outcomes. --- Show Notes Get the book: https://amzn.to/2Pwo2BP  Robert Greene on Twitter: @robertgreene  ---       hope you enjoyed this episode.

Episode #214: Discipline

Tom Ziglar

Tom Ziglar is the proud son of Zig Ziglar and the CEO of Ziglar, Inc. He joined the Zig Ziglar Corporation in 1987 and climbed from working in the warehouse, to sales, to management, and then on to leadership. Today, he speaks around the world; hosts The Ziglar Show , one of the top-ranked business podcasts; and carries on the Ziglar philosophy: "You can have everything in life you want if you will just help enough other people get what they want." He is the author of Choose To Win: Choose to Win: Transform Your Life, One Simple Choice at a Time, which shows you how to achieve massive change without massive upset. His revolutionary plan guides you through making one small choice at a time through a sequence of easy-to-follow steps in seven key areas: mental, spiritual, physical, family, finance, personal, and career. The result is a more productive, more fulfilling, and more meaningful life. As a long-time fan and beneficiary of Zig Ziglar’s teachings, I really enjoyed my conversation with Tom.

Tom Ziglar is the proud son of Zig Ziglar and the CEO of Ziglar, Inc. He joined the Zig Ziglar Corporation in 1987 and climbed from working in the warehouse, to sales, to management, and then on to leadership. Today, he speaks around the world; hosts The Ziglar Show , one of the top-ranked business podcasts; and carries on the Ziglar philosophy: "You can have everything in life you want if you will just help enough other people get what they want." He is the author of Choose To Win: Choose to Win: Transform Your Life, One Simple Choice at a Time, which shows you how to achieve massive change without massive upset. His revolutionary plan guides you through making one small choice at a time through a sequence of easy-to-follow steps in seven key areas: mental, spiritual, physical, family, finance, personal, and career. The result is a more productive, more fulfilling, and more meaningful life. As a long-time fan and beneficiary of Zig Ziglar’s teachings, I really enjoyed my conversation with Tom.

Episode #333 Tom Ziglar on Transforming Your Life, One Simple Choice at a Time

More often than not, senior management and the C-suite assume that exploring disruptive innovation is incredibly risky, and it is. It’s often a key bugbear to getting senior management buy-in for corporate innovation initiatives. However, that high risk doesn’t necessarily need to translate to high cost, especially not in the early stages of the innovation lifecycle (below). In fact, the cost of notexploring disruptive innovation can be much higher with countless companies having paid the ultimate price in recent years for neglecting it. In this episode of Fast Fix Friday, we explore the corporate innovation trade-off between risk and reward. --- Listen on iTunes @ goo.gl/sMnEa0  Listen on Stitcher @ www.stitcher.com/podcast/future  Listen on Google Play @  bit.ly/FSGoog If you've got any questions on this podcast feel free to send an email to steve@collectivecamp.us or tweet me on Twitter @steveglaveski or @future_squared Follow me on Instagram: @thesteveglaveski Like us?

Episode #298: Life-Changing Mental Shifts with Ajit Nawalkha

It’s been well documented by the likes of Steve Blank and Clayton Christensen that if you want explore disruptive innovation in a large company, you have to redesign or create parallel processes, systems and values internally in order up to support behaviours critical to innovation - think moving fast and experimentation. Failing that, take innovation outside of the building by spinning out a company with its own processes, systems and values. But the kicker here is to not treat the spin off as an independent startup, otherwise you might be better off simply setting up a corporate venture capital arm to invest in startups. A better approach is to leverage your relative strengths to mutual benefit. A large corporate will bring domain expertise, networks, distribution channels, customers and resources to the table. Listen to hear how to identify synergies to accelerate growth.

Episode #196: Innovation in Water with Sean Hanrahan

Lucas Aoun

From a very young age, Lucas Aoun became interested in the effects of certain foods and herbs on his own physiological and psychological performance. When he was playing soccer, he found himself monitoring his performance very closely and discovered that some supplements were having a drastic effect on reaction times, decision making and ability to the "read" the play. This then sparked a passion to spend copious amounts of his "spare time" to research various ergogenic aids. Having battled with his own health issues, he began to biohack his way out, getting to the root cause of his issues. Through relentless experimentation and research, he has optimised his baseline to consistently perform at a solid level. Today, Lucas’ purpose and mission is to assist and empower people to reach their fullest potential. He does this by being an information portal and teacher, giving others the knowledge that they need to manipulate their own physiology and behaviours.  We settled in for a wide-reaching conversation in which we ventured down many a rabbit hole, including:  Naturopathy v western medicine Nootropics and cognitive enhancers The gut-brain connection Sleep Dopamine enhancement; and… Why men should ice their gonads.  With that, please give it up for an up and coming star in the space of human performance optimisation, Lucas Aoun. Topics Discussed:  Lucas’ backstory Naturopathy Nootropics and biohacking Biomarkers Blue blockers and sleep Maximising growth hormone Improving testosterone levels Purpose Rapid experimentation The gut-brain communication axis Criticisms of naturapathy Dogma Dopamine enhancmenet Serotonin suppression GDAs Infrared saunas Cold exposure   Show Notes: Instagram: instagram.com/ergogenic_health Facebook: facebook.com/ergogenic_health Website: www.ergogenichealth.com.au --- Employee to Entrepreneur book: www.employeetoentrepreneur.io Listen to Future Squared on Apple Podcasts  goo.gl/sMnEa0 Also available on: Spotify, Google Podcasts, TuneIn, Stitcher and Soundcloud Twitter: www.twitter.com/steveglaveski Instagram: www.instagram.com/@thesteveglaveski Future Squared: www.futuresquared.xyz Steve Glaveski: www.steveglaveski.com Medium: www.medium.com/@steveglaveski NEW Facebook group: www.facebook.com/groups/futuresquared/   GET COACHED BY LUCAS: https://www.ergogenic.health/product/coaching  GET LUCAS TO DESIGN YOUR SUPPLEMENT PROTOCOL: https://www.ergogenic.health/product/custom-stack

Episode #342: Human Performance Optimisation with Lucas Aoun

Nicole Forsgren

Today, I am speaking with Nicole Forsgren. Nicole is an IT impacts expert who is best known for her work with tech professionals and as the lead investigator on the largest DevOps studies to date. She is a consultant, expert, and researcher in knowledge management, IT adoption and impacts, and DevOps. In a previous life, she was a professor, sysadmin, and hardware performance analyst. Nicole has been awarded public and private research grants (funders include NASA and the NSF), and her work has been featured in various media outlets, peer-reviewed journals, and conferences. She holds a PhD in management information systems and a master’s degree in accounting. Nicole is CEO and Chief Scientist at DevOps Research and Assessment (DORA).   Her first book, Accelerate: The Science of Lean Software and DevOps explores the topic of Building and Scaling High Performing Technology Organizations.   I had a great time chatting with Nicole and learning about, not only her Swedish ancestry, her favorite ice cream flavour and her love for working out - which might have something to do with the ice cream, but learning more about what makes a high performing team tick.   You will learn lots in this conversation, including:  Why traditional performance measurement metrics such as utilisation and lines of code are flawed and what to use instead What characteristics differentiate high performing teams from low performing team and how to start embedding these characteristics into your organisation; and How to effectively drive culture change    This just scratches the surface of what we discussed so please sit back, walk, run or whatever it is you do when you listen to podcasts and enjoy my conversation with Nicole Forsgren.   Topics Discussed:  What DevOps is and why it matters Waterfall and stage gate versus agile and DevOps Why speed is fundamental to success The research behind the book What differentiates high performers from low performers How to effectively measure performance Flaws in common measurement approaches Maturity models v capability models Change advisory boards How to do QA in a fast-moving team Breaking down silos The power of cross functional, self organised teams How to drive culture change Continuous delivery How to build a truly engaged organisation How to avoid burnout Simple things companies can do to transition    Show Notes:  Get the Book: Pre-order on Amazon at: https://amzn.to/2wtaIW9 Web: Nicolefv.com Twitter: @nicolefv DORA: http://devops-research.com The Business Case Alternative ebook: http://bit.ly/bizcaseebook/ Nudge (book): https://amzn.to/2Nh9ofX Thinking Fast and Slow (book): https://amzn.to/2LruWVI The Undoing Project: https://amzn.to/2BO8IO9    Join the conversation on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/futuresquared/ where you can discuss episodes, request guests, propose questions for forthcoming guests and access exclusive content and special offers!

She is a consultant, expert, and researcher in knowledge management, IT adoption and impacts, and DevOps. In a previous life, she was a professor, sysadmin, and hardware performance analyst. Nicole has been awarded public and private research grants (funders include NASA and the NSF), and her work has been featured in various media outlets, peer-reviewed journals, and conferences. She holds a PhD in management information systems and a master’s degree in accounting. Nicole is CEO and Chief Scientist at DevOps Research and Assessment (DORA). Her first book, Accelerate: The Science of Lean Software and DevOps explores the topic of Building and Scaling High Performing Technology Organizations.
