My main focus today is my role as Technology Director of One+All, a 100% employee-owned B Corp. I previously co-founded Human, a software development agency where I learned invaluable lessons about leadership, failure, and the real challenges of implementing change.
What I'm working on
Transforming One+All
A profitable business making an incredible social impact. A team of amazing people who look after customers so well that the business keeps growing. But legacy technology is letting them down. So I'm leading a complete human-first digital transformation which aims to boost scalability as well as enabling even more social and environmental benefit.
Agile Made Easy
A practical guide to setting up minimum viable agile in real business environments. Informed by over twenty years of project implementation experience. Helping those who ask for work and those actually doing it to become one team and find their flow together.
Recently
Speaking: At the British Retail Consortium's Summer School alongside Erinch Sahan of the Doughnut Economics Action Lab, discussing One+All's real world achievements and challenges in relation to the theory.
Reading: The Righteous Mind by Jonathan Haidt. A fascinating account of evolutionary psycology. How groups are selected for their characteristics just like individuals and why the left is struggling to connect with voters.
Thinking about: How AI tools probably will change everything, just as happened with the web. But we still need to start with why to make sure we know what we want for the colleagues and customers before we get carried away with the shiny new toys.
