Six Impossible Things before Breakfast

Recently we’ve been seeing a lot of things that just don’t happen in real life. A managing director at Bank of America abandons decades of organizational “best practices” and recreates his organization by letting people organize their own teams. And, if that weren’t unusual enough, the teams even choose their own coach. Impossible. A group of former managers reinvent their role as servants rather than masters. Also impossible. Then other managers who have been working at the bank for more than twenty years abandon their lofty titles and move out of their corner offices to join software delivery teams. Clearly impossible. The final straw is seeing a Java developer happily learning COBOL from a mainframe programmer. If not impossible, rather improbable. So what’s going on? Join Dan North and Kyle Thomson as they discuss these impossible things and what else has been happening before breakfast. It's all mad as a hatter.
