About Event

The media hysteria frames a fight between Robot and Human, and the industry is happy to oblige.

It's easier to have a conversation on "right vs wrong" than to admit the fundamentals are broken: skills, accountability, and the will to hold the industry to a higher standard.

We don't have a technology problem. We have a discipline problem.

In this Coffee Salon Series, join an intimate & facilitated discussion around what it takes to move past the bizarre and intrusive to achieve the economic and social outcomes it touts. 

In Wednesday's daily thinking collaboration with special guest Anthony Putignano, CTO, Investor, and Writer at Breaking Down Convention, we will look at:

  • Why the obsession with speed is the industry's own kind of substance problem, keeping teams from leveraging skills that force rigorous strategy

  • Which values we are really affirming when we retell the stories of Ford and Jobs as visionary seers of the future

  • What we lost when Agile eliminated the roles and artifacts that forced clear thinking

Anthony thinks about what's actually broken underneath the noise, and backs it up with 20 years in the industry.

If you're an experienced practitioner or industry stakeholder who enjoys honest conversation and despises charlatans, please join.

About Your Host: Lindsay Tabas first called out the tragedy of siloed enterprise software systems while getting her Masters at UC-Berkeley in 2006. She was told to earn her stripes before she could speak louder. She has.
