Engines of Creation

Episode 3 | On Openness | Interview with Kevin Marks

On today’s episode we are going to meet a real Web pioneer, Kevin Marks, if you don’t know him I suggest you look at the Wikipedia page dedicated to him, because, yes the guests of this podcast do have their own Wikipedia page :) 
Kevin is a SW Engineering expert who worked in companies like Apple, Google and Salesforce and have been at the forefront of Digital Innovation from the 90s. He brings a look that spans the whole horizon of how the digital industry has evolved so far and can evolve in the future. 
During our conversation we will discuss how abstraction layers can commodify industry sectors, and how this evolution towards commodities can be described using tools like Wardley Maps, but also how looking into what didn’t work can help making sense of the complex fractals of these nested abstraction layers.
In the second part of our conversation we will turn our attention towards Open models, looking at examples in the web like micro-formats as well as in the larger digital industry how open source set a standard for distributed governance, and we will close talking about what the approaches from companies like Apple, Google and Microsoft can tell us about how to find the right balance.

Episode 2 | On Feeling Uncomfortable | Interview with Sudha Jamthe

For the second episode of the podcast we are going to meet a very special person, Sudha Jamthe, as you will hear from her own introduction, she is a true innovator, and she is an inspiration for me as a true leader who appreciates and embraces complexity, in particular with her passion for communicating complex business and technology topics in engaging and effective ways. 
We are going to discover with her what are the patterns that enable innovation, and how a data driven approach can unlock the creation of innovative products. 
Also, we will be diving into Artificial Intelligence, understanding its adoption trends and challenges, in particular taking into account the business skills and ethical concerns surrounding it, and, finally we’ll understand with her how the ability to embrace uncertainty, by feeling uncomfortable and by being vulnerable, are the superpowers to be a modern leader.

Episode 1 | On Embracing Change

Change is at the core of everything, that's what I've learnt from the experience of all the people I've interacted with and that managed to become successful.
If we really understand it and we can change our beliefs according to this fundamental assumption, the way we work can completely change.

Through Engines of Creation episodes, we will understand the culture, the mindset, and the ways to identify and manage complexity in evolving businesses and organisations. We’ll explain how, by creating the right conditions for the individuals and the teams, innovation and creation emerge naturally and spontaneously.
