The leadership model

Technology

Technology is both what knowledge workers build and the tools they build it with. Good technical practice is a prerequisite for flow: without it, quality problems and rework swamp any process improvement.

My work here covers test strategy and automation, integrating complex systems, delivering with globally distributed teams, and how AI changes the flow of knowledge work.

The leadership model with the Technology layer highlighted

Sound familiar?

  • Quality problems found late, by testers or customers
  • Test automation that is brittle, slow, or in the wrong places
  • AI tools adopted everywhere, with little change in delivery
  • Hand-offs between locations or vendors that slow everything down
