Slide decks, paper proposals and steering group sessions all take a significant investment to prepare, avoiding “difficult” conversations by socializing and re-socializing in advance of exec meetings, deferring decisions, requesting a raft of meeting minutes to document, correcting, amending and signing them off—the majority of which few people read.... The speed of these cycles determines the heartbeat of the organization. This week, Coté talks with Jana Werner about a recent paper she co-authored about changing how a large financial institution does software. Check out the paper and Jana in LinkedIn. Also, check out the talk she has coming up at SpringOne Platform.Special Guest: Jana Werner.
