Jim Benson on "The Collaboration Equation", obeya rooms, humble hubris and building what people need

Sustainable Xagility™ - board & executive c-suite agility for the organization's direction of travel

Jim Benson is back again on the Xagility podcast. This time we talk about his book "The Collaboration Equation", lessons from billion dollar construction projects, obeya rooms, humble hubris, building what people need as well as leadership structure and unachievable KPIs. Join us on this fun and informative episode! About Jim Benson: After three decades as a business owner, team leader, and employee in both companies and government agencies, Jim found there is one key factor in every organization. They take on more than we can finish. Almost every client (individual or organizational) Jim has worked with, regardless of vertical, is overworked. Being overworked means they don’t have time to pay attention to their work, its context, or their co-workers. This fosters hasty decisions made with a lack of information. These poor decisions create re-work, unnecessary emergencies, and unrewarding working conditions. Since writing Personal Kanban and winning the Shingo Research Award, Jim has had the good fortune to: * work with Fortune 10 companies, major world governments, and the most dynamic startups * monthly keynote conferences globally * be interviewed in major publications including Time, Newsweek, Wired, LifeHacker, The New York Times, the Times of London, Inc, and Businessweek.
