A talk I gave at the RBS Techstock event in Edinburgh. Change involves People, Process and Technology - this presentation has three thoughts and two demos to illustrate them.

“Optionality” - Give yourself options - Release the value of additional optional investment
opportunities available only after having made an initial investment
● Private IaaS / Public Cloud - Optionality for your basic infrastructure
● PaaS - Optionality for your code
● APIs - Optionality for your business
1 - Create Digital Platforms

2 - Reduce lead time, not just cycle times
lead time

What we have learnt from our participation in open source communities is that it’s not enough
to be agile, you must be adaptable. This is one good metric to help you measure your
adaptability

3 - You can’t dodge Conway’s Law so work in
“two-pizza teams”[1]
“organizations which design systems ... are constrained to produce designs which are
copies of the communication structures of these organizations”
— M. Conway
If you can't feed a team with two pizzas, it's too large.
— Jeff Bezos
