Forming. Storming. Norming. Performing. You may well have heard these stages of group maturity before, but do you know where the theory came from? This article is inspired by the Teamcraft podcast episode, available wherever you get your pods. In 1965 a young psychologist, freshly minted with a PhD from Princeton, joined the Naval Medical […]
OK, OK. I know a ‘service catalogue’ doesn’t sound like much fun. It’s not as catchy as an ‘MVP’ or ‘continuous discovery’. It’s not serverless or machine learning. But a service catalogue is a simple thing that really helps to keep your tech estate healthy as you grow. Service Catalogues (yes, ‘catalogs’ for my American

The horrible collision of VR and Return To Office working Space helmeteers, by Midjourney I’m really quite bemused by Apple’s Vision Pro product release. For those that haven’t seen it, Apple describe it as “a revolutionary spatial computer”. The less charitable among us might call it the Apple HoloLens. Being first to market was never Apple’s
