Today’s episode of Satisfying Software is with Diana Montalion, author of Learning Systems Thinking.
Diana has a wealth of experience of helping software teams navigate complex software systems at places like The Economist and The Wikimedia Project.
If you’re a software designer, architect, or developer interested in non-linear thinking, this conversation will introduce you to new ways to improve your craft.
The conversation covers:
- How to build trust and lead effectively when you’re not certain about the right direction
- Why being right is always temporary
- How to express intuition and uncertainty in decision-making conversations
