I help individuals and teams move through their development cycles with maximum efficiency, accuracy and creativity so they can go further, more quickly and create more useful things for the world to use. Here are some of the ways I try and move innovation forward in my small part of the world: 1. Creating better controls and processes - if it's manual, zero-value-add task automate it. The idea is to automate everything but measure first: where is your business getting most materially impacted? Start there. And where you can't automate right away, implement better controls to correct defects early on before issues multiply down the stack. Automating and implementing better controls achieves two things: firstly, it frees up that human's mind from mind-numbing work so they can go forth and reach their potential, secondly, you can move onto new things because that product or business is secure, it's under control. You're not going to build an extension onto your house while your kitchen is on fire.2. Facilitating good design & efficient builds - It's all about your customer's journey, what do they want to achieve? What's the value of what we're building? How quickly will that market allow you to grow? Prioritise builds based on impact, ship, succeed/fail fast, fix, reship, move on to the next build/product.3. Sharing experiences, knowledge, self-development - If we share our knowledge and experience our neural networks improve, so does that of the other person...we create stronger individuals and stronger teams. You've expanded a mind, given them more information, now they can go on to make better decisions. They will be inspired by this new information. The more we know, the higher quality our decisions will be, we'll make less costly mistakes and we won't be so afraid of failing in the first place. Innovation multiplies. And in the spirit of this point, here's my favourite podcast for mind expansion - The Knowledge Project - where Shane Parrish "helps you master the best of what other people have already figured out."Things about me that help me do my best work: Being obsessed with great products & great user-experiences. Understanding my customer’s needs, understanding the constraints of resources available and creatively problem solving around it. A love of building bridges between humans.
