Jul 26, 2016 by Barc Category: Agile, Agile Executive, Change Managment, Leadership 0 comments

CLEAR goals encourage executives to work together with the development team to set the stage for successful large Agile projects.

Why All The PowerPoint?

Feb 12, 2016 by Barc Category: Agile, Agile Executive, Change Managment, Leadership, Management 0 comments

After a big software project goes haywire, the CEO often gets involved. Usually somewhere around the 18-month mark.

Most good CEOs start their involvement with an apology: “I’m so sorry I haven’t been more involved up until now. I haven’t supported you.”

Less introspective CEOs start by firing people.

If you’re lucky enough to work for a good CEO, there will be a mixed reaction to the mea culpa nonetheless.

It probably sounds passé now, but there once was a technology we thought would be a new way for telling stories, and maybe even creating art.

People Do Change

Jan 26, 2015 by Barc Category: Blog, Change Managment, People Management, Uncategorized 1 comment

I had a mentor who once said to me, “You can only change people this much.” And then he put his forefinger and thumb together to show it just wasn’t going to happen. Until recently, I believed him. People are pretty much made by their environments and don’t change much over time. But now, at my […]
