Getting Agile

Neil Perkin and I have put together a new workshop for Friday September 17th.

We’re calling it Getting Agile. We’ll explore the idea and practice of agility. It will combine serious content with seriously playful experience of agile using improv activities.

This is a subject Neil has written a lot about and we also did a podcast about it a few months back with Rob Paterson.

We’re holding it at the lovely Wallacespace in St Pancras and the earlybird rate is £195 inc VAT (going up to £250 on 1 September).

More details and booking forms.

Spot the pattern

These are the books I’ve been enjoying lately: Stumbling on Happiness; Fooled by Randomness; Freakonomics. Now I’ve picked up The Halo Effect, which may be the best of the lot.
