When will Tesco be done?
Today’s growth businesses are
Digital
Business doesn’t end
So digital doesn’t end
• Digital business is global
• Compete with the best
All businesses are digital
All businesses are digital
Competitors are Digital
Even if you are not digital your competitors are,
or soon will be
The secret of competing digitally is…
deliver fast and test in the market
“If your not embarrassed by
the product when you launch,
you’ve launched too late.”
Reid Hoffman, founder LinkedIn
The secret of fast delivery is …
Small
Milk is cheapest
in BIG cartons
Software is
cheapest in
lots of small
cartons
And small cartons
of software
reduce risk
Software development
has
Diseconomies of Scale
Learn to think SMALL
SMALL is cheaper
SMALL is faster
Culture of SMALL
Organize for lots of SMALL
Optimize for lots of SMALL
DevOps & Continuous Delivery
optimize for small
Agile
+
DevOps
=
Continual
Delivery
Continual
Value
Stable Teams
No time to build & tear down
Align teams with business
Business Line
Product
Service
Devolve & distribute authority
Top down decision
making is
slow
And therefore
expensive
Give power to teams doing work
• Faster decision making -> More money
• Real power -> Motivates
• More information -> Better decisions
Tolerate “failure”
Experimentation: Quickest way to learn is to do
Don’t expect everything to work
Fail fast, fail cheap, learn, salvage
Measure Value
Governance by performance
What have you actually delivered?
What value have you created?
What have you learned?
Active portfolio management
Create a Culture which values…
• Digital
• Continuous
• Think Small
• Stable teams
• Distributed authority
• Experimentation
• Fail fast, fail cheap, learn, salvage

Editor's Notes

  • #2: 30 minutes – 20 + 10 questions
  • #7: Cars are increasingly a digital product Until recently 10% of the value of a car was in electronics and software (e.g. radio, aircon, etc.), currently stands at 25% (enterainment systems, sat navigator, engine management), forecast to rise to 90%. Why else are Apple and Google getting into cars
  • #17: Cheaper? Faster? Innovation? Because everyone else is doing it?
