Working with systems is more than writing code, it is generation of Active Knowledge.
In this article, I describe the concept and how it can be used to impact organizational decision-making.

A shorter work week benefits people and workplaces.
4-day pilot in dozens of companies for 6 months:
✔️Burnout, stress, anxiety drop
✔️Pace increases, revenue up 8.1% (37.6% over prior year)
✔️Satisfaction, balance, exercise, leisure, sleep improve
Nearly all plan to continue.

People think that TDD, TBD, CD, CI, microcommits, quick turn-around, ensemble programming, continuous design, collaborative work, etc is "an advanced state" and "for experts"
They were doing it from the first day. It's not "advanced" it's just work.

it's not necessarily the reality that shapes us, but the lens through which your brain views the world .... if I know everything about your external world, I can only predict 10% of your long-term happiness. @shawnachor #positivepsychology ted.com/talks/shawn_achor_th…

More and more, I'm thinking that the whole notion of an Agile Transformation is doing damage. The point is to build better software by doing things differently—improving—not to transform to or adopt Agile, whatever that means. 1/3

The standard tragedy that we keep trying to deny (because it's hard to comply):
* Capacity-to-do is finite: we can only do so much
* Time is finite: it runs out
* Opportunity is time-sensitive, and consumes capacity
can software partially capture tacit knowing?
f.ex "around the edges of" things we know and how we work that's not easily put into text?
(thought inspired by @olvemaudal today, while listening to @hwes on metaphors understood differently across disciplines, "++")

The best results were achieved at companies that had three meeting-free days per week: mitsmr.com/3Ijtl1N

Today I spotted @hamrin suggesting we turn away from talking about "Technical Debt" and towards "Declining Technical Health" of the system. I love that shift because I find it a better expression of entropy.

socio-technical systems as combos of social structure, org process, technology, etc - what makes planned/ deliberate changes in socio-technical systems stick? #stsmeeting2021
is Foodora the only "transport gig" company in Norway with unionized employees? interesting experience report of #participation / employee influence vs gig economy #stsmeeting2021
blurring org boundaries can increase both value, like flexibility and ability to absorb uncertainty and variation, and risks, f.ex around psych safety, belonging, loyalty #stsmeeting2021
we design boundaries between orgs/ teams/ sys, knowingly or unknowingly, limiting or enabling how people relate to each other #stsmeeting2021
perhaps org boundaries have always been blurry, even if it's become more so or at least more visible #stsmeeting2021
ecology of participation (employee influence), interactions btw direct and representative, everyday (socio-technical) and high-level (political) - listening to Johan Ravn at #stsmeeting2021, thinking abt participation in STS vs autonomy/ motivation
