X : What interesting emerging technology have you seen? Cloud?AI?
Me : None of that is emerging and the question is irrelevant. What you should be interested in is the emerging behaviours / practice. The technology just supports this.
X : Like DevOps.
Me : Not emerging. A given.

Me : Not emerging. A given.
X : What is emerging then?
Me : This. A next generation of behaviours.
X : Hmmm, I don't agree.
Me : Hmmm, I don't care. I have a population study to counter your or my opinion.

X : Well, how do I do leaderless leadership?
Me : The whole field of distributed leadership is emerging. There is no guide yet, there are just companies experimenting in this space. You asked for emerging.
X : I should experiment?
Me : Depends.

Me : Depends.
X : On what?
Me : Guiding principles. If you don't have basic principles in place then behaviours like non-hiearchical structures are likely to cause as much harm as good. Same with all of them.
X : Basic principles?
Me : Try this. Get good at this first.

X : Basic principles?
Me : Try this. Get good at this first.
X : Principles first then look at the new behaviours?
Me : Yes.
X : Where does technology fit in?
Me : A supporting act. Buying a data lake doesn't make you data driven anymore than buying a Porsche makes you a good driver. Get the principles and behaviours right first.
Me : Yes.

X : Those principles look hard.
Me : They are a lot of work. Focus on user needs is not as easy as paying a large invoice for a new bunch of equipment. Focus on the thing that matters - the principles / the behaviours - and stop opting for the easy decision of buying some tech.

X : Why do people do that?
Me : It's easy to do. Learning how to be a good driver is a lot harder than writing out a purchase order for a Porsche.
