People often ask what it means to get "good" at Team Topologies. Rather than memorising patterns, it's really about learning to see organisations differently and developing practical judgement. Explore the Team Topologies Fluency Program → teamtopologies.com/fluency-program

Organisational design has quietly moved up the leadership agenda. For a long time, this sat in the background, something to “deal with later”. That’s getting harder now. That’s why we wrote the 2nd edition of Team Topologies → www.teamtopologies.com/book

The Govt should be introducing legislation to provide more transparency, not less. Their proposed changes to FOI are deeply troubling, though not surprising given in the last parliament they were the 2nd most secretive in 30 years. That needs to change. www.canberratimes.com.au/story/907156...
