Loops and Cycles

For leaders and learners who want good work to come to life.

Get Loops and Cycles in your inbox once every now and then. We explore the software game — the nature of our teams and organizations, how our ideas unfold into reality, and what it means to play strategically.

Loops is a bit more raw than the essays and resources published on the site: ideas in progress, questions I'm thinking through, and provocations for working diffreently. You'll get some occasional side quests, like winemaking or sake-brewing, too.

Give it a try! If you don't like it, you can always leave.
