Prestigious Pints Episode 5 - Mary & Tom Poppendieck

05/14/21 • 53 min

In the fifth episode of our Prestigious Pints series, Geoff Watts and Paul Goddard get together (virtually in lockdown) with a pair of agile inspirations Mary & Tom Poppendieck.

They chat about how the COVID pandemic has forced companies to pivot into new and innovative ideas based on purpose and then responding to feedback. The conversation also touched on quality and craftsmanship, and how the term "software engineer" isn't really the same as an "engineer" in many other industries.

As ever, Mary & Tom have a passion for lean and it's great to also hear what Mary thinks is the biggest understanding of Lean - even now.

We hope you enjoy!!

Episode 117 - Do we have a bias towards either high or low status?

Oh what a special episode this is! The boys were back inside a real pub after a full day's fishing! So, to celebrate they had not just one drink but two while talking about what people look for from training and what they ultimately get. This led them on to self-discovery and then status - whether we have a bias for high or low status, whether certain roles are more high or low status and whether our job titles affect our perception of status.
