We are uncovering better ways of working by doing it and helping others do it. Through this
work we have come to value:
ď§ Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
ď§ Working product or service over comprehensive documentation
ď§ Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
ď§ Responding to change over following a plan
That is, while there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the left more.

Given the pace of technological change, human migration & acculturation, economic and demographic shifts, I hope you are prepared to never stop learning.
You are about to enter a career in Business Technology. John Cage once said, âAnyone over the age of 35 is technologically illiterate.â
*Continuous pursuit of training and education is ___ THE BARE MINIMUM ___ required to stay up-to-date and aware of current technology and business trends.*
As system design needs to be adaptive, so too does the organizational design.
DO NOT MAKE THE MISTAKE thinking there are immutable and timeless practices in business and management.
Every existing management practice and methodology is a social technology invented in the past which *may* have been suitable to address specific problems in those contexts; and is likely to cause damage and suffering in any other context.
Management belongs on the garbage heap of history.
These practices are NOT going to lead us all into the future. They are archaic, obsolete. These represent ideas and opinions of human capacity which Deming calls a âmanagement diseaseâ.
MIT Technology Review calls these the 50 disruptors of 2015.
These are the companies which actively practice âAgileâ methods.
Post-Capitalism is our potential future; but we must get there from here.
I hope your professors are sharing with you a healthy dose of Demings, Goldratt, Fuller, and
Stay curious. Learn. Unlearn. Relearn.
As entropy and opportunity increase in the job market, as the business community diversifies, itâs becoming more important than ever to communicate what youâve learned and studied.
âMBAâ used to be enough to communicate expertise. Now itâs table stakes â or worse. Many organisations are looking for people whoâve arrived in business from diverse backgrounds â not from the echo-chamber of typical Business schools but from fine arts, engineering, philosophy, linguistics. So itâs more important than ever to demonstrate to others how you have continued the journey throughout professional life.
I encourage you all to continue your educational journey. With mentors. With teachers. Professionally. Personally. Explore any and all educational opportunities that present themselves â Iâve never once regretted it.
