Technology companies want to deliver products better and faster, but as it is, demand often exceeds capacity, visibility is limited, rework is too common, and investments lack focus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Researchers have invested countless hours of study to understand how organizations can overcome these problems, including Gene Kim and Dr. Steven J. Spear in a recent book: Wiring the Winning Organization: Liberating Our Collective Greatness through Slowification, Simplification, and Amplification.<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n In their research, Gene and Steven reviewed common efficiency design systems like Lean, Agile, DevOps, and the Toyota Production System. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Their conclusion? Each system is actually an incomplete expression of a simpler, greater idea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The book describes three basic mechanisms that govern these other methodologies and make it possible for organizations to work in a highly dynamic way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Dr. Mik Kersten, CTO at Planview and author of the best-selling book Project to Product<\/em>, recently welcomed Gene as a repeat guest on his podcast, Mik + One. (Quick history lesson: Gene was Mik\u2019s very first guest! You can catch the inaugural episode here<\/a>.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n
