Push It Down
Previously given at
Lean Agile Scotland, October 2016
Running one team in an uncertain domain is hard.
Running a team of teams is an order of magnitude harder as there are significant system effects that produce counterintuitive results.
Understanding why this is and how we unwind our instinctive yet unhelpful responses is the first step to better results.

@lazallen @MartinBurnsSCO the great tragedy 100 yrs ago suggests it was easily unlearned in the intervening century. Would love to know more

@Honer_CUT @lazallen more that the British military hadn't learned it. Germans held long against far larger/better armed/supplies adversary.
