In this episode, Collin and I continue to explore the relationship between making product, learning, and facilitating organisational change. We use Collin's book, Make Learn Change as the springboard for this discussion.
In this episode Collin and I unpack some of the key beliefs that underpin Waterfall and Agile. Often we see Waterfall and Agile being juxtaposed against each other as different “methodologies”. In this episode, I argue that you will be better served looking at them as differing belief systems about product development and product delivery - beliefs that have validity to those who hold them.
Our feeling is that if you can develop a more refined language for articulating these differing belief systems, you will be better positioned to diagnosis where your organization is getting stuck in its own journey to becoming a more effective and more efficient digital product development company. You will also be better positioned to help your team and your organization navigate this rather ambiguous journey that is often simply termed as a “mindset” shift.
As in Episode 1, we continue to argue for the benefits of trying to make a thin slice of value to get into your customers hand, so that you can learn and adapt, where needed. We also revisit how oragnizations can use the obstacles they hit when trying to deliver a thin slice of value as the core focus of a digital or Agile transformation.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
