Chinwag with Mike

A couple of weeks ago (pre-‘reverse goatee’) I had the pleasure of being on Mike Laverick’s chinwag video / podcast. It’s always good chatting with Mike, and every time I do I remember those times when I was a newbie back in Australia and Mike’s site was pretty much the only (but certainly the best) source of VMware info on the web. How time flies.

I did make some slight errs during the chat however, the worst of which was somehow saying “dynamic DHCP” when of course I meant to say “dynamic DNS”! Mike’s brain heard the correct thing and just carried on the conversation as normal, but yeh… pretty stupid lol. Getting Geoffrey West’s surname wrong was slightly more forgivable.

Anyway I refer to a few things you should watch, so here are the links for those:

Geoffrey West: The surprising math of cities and corporations

Jason Hoffman: WAR SIGNALS: INDUSTRIALIZATION, MOBILIZATION AND DISRUPTION

Towards the end I also mention something about innovation and organisational structure, which was with reference to this excellent post:

An Operations Mindset Is at Odds with Innovation

And of course, catch my interview here! Thanks Mike :)
