Ep. 028, Paint me a picture of tech

Our guest Jed Maczuba grew up reading 2600 - The Hacker Quarterly (as did your humble narrator). His curiosity about phone systems and computer systems led him to become a Mac user and an IBM employee. We talk about the most underrated skill in management, steering management to best leverage technology, the struggle to exceed the industry average for successful projects (as low as 10%!), and how oil painting is a surprisingly technical hobby.   Link to Jed's article on Agile : https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/why-does-agile-work-jed-maczuba/ Most Underrated Skill in Management: https://sloanreview.mit.edu/article/the-most-underrated-skill-in-management/ Examples of System Dynamics: https://mitsloan.mit.edu/shared/ods/documents/Repenning_JN_2001_TippingPoint.pdf&PubID=14333 http://web.mit.edu/nelsonr/www/Repenning%3DSterman_CMR_su01_.pdf Oil painting master Yayoi Kusama: http://yayoi-kusama.jp/e/information/
