Summary
For over 100 years, we’ve sought the best ways to apply the scientific method and engineering principles to make products better and to make products better. Our approaches have evolved as our technology has evolved – better precision and observability have allowed faster, more complex products to be built. And while the tools and approaches may seem radically different, there are several throughlines to explore. Those tell us what’s coming next and, importantly, how we can contribute to better-functioning organizations in our brave new world.
Meet Jonathan Odo
With extensive experience in over a dozen organizations, from startups to Fortune 100s, I believe agility is about praxis – the methodological, considered application of theory. My unique breadth of experience spanning many industries and roles has helped me foster novel insights and solutions to truly wicked problems.
My latest, and so far favorite, role has been as Product Operations Leader. Empowering product, technology, and business leaders and whole organizations to accelerate delivery through coaching, mentoring, and the synthesis of complex data.
What I love about it: the scaling of product operations, the development of high-performing teams, and the creation of operating models, all pointed at unblocking people from doing their best work. Designing enabling constraints is the most meaningful work I’ve been privileged to undertake.
