Disclaimer: I like games. I like winning.
Software development is a unique kind of activity
• Cooperative • Finite • Goal-seeking • Competitive
People are increasingly at the center of the game
Organizational survival is a different game
• Cooperative • Infinite* • Goal-seeking • Competitive
Organizational game: set up for the next win
Organizational winning: attract & grow awesome
people
Two-pronged approach to growth
Apprenticeship grows (and attracts)
awesome people (players of the game)
Ingredients of a good Apprenticeship Program
• Mentor, Team, Owner
• Sustainable Ratio
• Culture over Curriculum
• In the Trenches
• Pet Project
• Milestones
• Feedback Loops
Apprenticeship is “easy”, but it’s a hard move
Thanks, Let’s talk!
