Something very close to my heart is helping folks understand the origin of the practices that are commonly used in management today. I feel that only with an understanding of history can we figure out how to change the future. I often talk about this in my classes and help folks see why things are the way that they are in many organisations.

Working within cross-functional teams can quickly turn into a frustrating game of Telephone if different functions aren’t on the same page. An increased dependence on multiple people and systems can often lead to misinformation, double-entry, or sometimes no information at all.

Hey what's up awesome people. One of the most asked question in my PSPO class is "What is the difference between Product Manager and Product Owner?", "Who has higher authority than the other?".
