what am I going to talk about
• sense making
• we face two problems
• timeline
• back in the day
• ski resorts and a drinking weekend
• agile adoption, the two day master and waterfall sandwiches
• how do we do it they way we want to do it
• broaden our horizons
• none of this is new
• food for thought

habitat or place
“more properly understood as the place of our multiple belongings; the sense that we
all, individually and collectively, have many roots: cultural, religious, geographic, tribal etc.
We can never be fully aware of the nature of those belongings, but they profoundly
influence what we are"
