My personal motto - "An organisation can only be as agile as it's least agile part - and that's not IT anymore" https://t.co/vCRUR3r8Tu

Here’s the thing: What does the Bristol Turnpike Trust in 1816 have to do with US property prices today? More than you might think.

From cobbled streets to sprawling suburbs, this innovation paved more than just physical paths — they paved the way for the modern world.

Here's The Thing. Buzzwords are powerful ideas made hollow by overuse.

Buzzwords like "synergy," "disruption," and "new normal" once captured groundbreaking ideas, but have become corporate clichés. Why do we keep using them, and what happens when they lose their meaning?

Is it wrong that I feel a little guilty asking chatGPT to summarise survey responses on the impact and challenges of AI?

On this day 21 years ago, @TheWeebl published the original Badger Badger Badger video.

Here's the Thing. It takes Confidence, Skill, and Empathy - in alignment - to be successful. This is the topic of my latest video (while sharing a little about my personal challenges early in my career). https://t.co/4zuzoGIfw4

[Evan Leybourn @eleybourn]

Confidence, Skill, and Empathy - in alignment - are required to be a successful leader.

I'm working on the final cut of my next Here's the Thing video. This one is different as it doesn't take a look at history - rather this is my personal history. https://t.co/npae2O2ciP

This time tomorrow I'll be in New Zealand. I'm looking forward to seeing all my NZ friends (and making new ones) in Wellington for JAFAC. Thanks @smamol, Brenda, and team for inviting me.

How well does your organization work together to achieve goals that span teams, functions or divisions?

This is the topic of our next research snapshot. There's only a week left for the survey and it's only 6 questions. Please share your insights. https://t.co/AEwnwMRhEh

[Evan Leybourn @eleybourn]

Are you hiring (or recently hired) a Scrum Master or Product Owner? If so, we'd love to interview you for our next study. It will only take about 30 minutes and will help us to highlight the changing expectations and skills required in Agile roles.

Please DM me to take part.

[Evan Leybourn @eleybourn]

Look what arrived @anyone4seconds. This is going to be my reading for the week during breaks in jury duty.

[Evan Leybourn @eleybourn]

I'm writing the script for the next Here's the Thing video. The history (and unintended consequence) of the modern road. It's much more interesting than it sounds. 😁

[Evan Leybourn @eleybourn]

It’s the unintended consequences of small ideas that change the world. "The Pill", despite being a small pharmaceutical innovation, has been a catalyst for women's reproductive autonomy and significantly shaped the modern workforce. https://t.co/kyACdR8DvE
