Platforms are Products

Notes from Tito's Made Tech talk August 2020 (see also screenshots below):

if one team has no interface with user, turn them into platform as product where other teams are their users
give them physical boxes and pens and ask them to decorate them as though it was a product
give the users a choice - they don't have to use the platform
GovPaaS are a great example of a team creating platform as a product

Think Big, Start Small

Notes from Tito's Made Tech talk August 2020:

Think big by starting small. What's the tiniest thing I could do today to make a difference?
people have a tendency to plan massive overhauls
this can mean you have a giant budget
but don't start with the giant goal
eg overall goal is to decrese case load by 75%
start by decreasing it by 5%, or 1%, or by just one case
- set that as your first goal
your plan is wrong, and you want to learn how it is wrong as early as possible
small posoitive effects compound, they aren't linear
don't underestimate the effect of experiencing victory
maintain the big vision while experiencing the small victories towards that big goal.
