WHY ONLY THE AGILE WILL SURVIVE
As we slowly emerge from the upheaval of COVID-19 we find ourselves in a new world that’s been hugely disrupted. Here, Steve Denning from Forbes, details 6 areas which are more relevant now than ever, that business should embrace if they are to survive.
THE KEY TO SUCCESSFUL TEAMS
A successful team, learned John Looney when he worked at Google, is a team that more than anything embraces psychological safety. Where team members are free to speak up and share ideas but also to challenge the status quo. Here are 5 questions you need to ask to assess the health of your team.
THE ADVANTAGE OF BEING T-SHAPED
Now more than ever DevOps teams need members to be multi-dimensional, or rather, to be “T-shaped”. Members who are willing to diversify and learn new skills on top of their own areas of expertise, not only develop empathy toward other team members, they help to foster the breadth of ideas that allow teams, and businesses, to adapt quickly to change.

Organisations who have moved to flattened structures with cross-functional teams are reaping the benefits of agility in being able to respond quickly to changing markets, especially compared to organisations who remain structured along siloed, functional lines. Outlined here are the advantages of cross functional teams and 4 ways to maximise the benefits.
