Why does work move so slowly when everyone is constantly busy?
Because software delivery isn’t a speed race — it’s a relay.
Teams optimize the runners, but the real delays come from the baton: the waiting.
High utilization creates queues, queues create delays, and flow collapses.
If this sounds familiar, try this:
Work feels slow even though everyone is constantly busy?
That’s not a people issue — it’s flow physics.
High utilization creates queues, queues create delays, and suddenly nothing moves.
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone.
I built a small learning page + simulation to explore why “busy” ≠ “fast”.
🚨 Most features are wasted.
In the age of AI, we’re not just scaling value — we’re scaling waste.
⚠️ 70–90% of software features never get used.
That’s not inefficiency — it’s a silent killer of innovation and morale.
In my new chapter “Minimize Waste” from The Cybernetic Enterprise, I explore how product discovery, lean thinking, and AI can turn waste into wisdom.

🚀 Après y avoir pensé pendant des années, j’ai enfin lancé mon blog pro :
✭ The Good, the Waste and the LEARNING ✭
J’y partage mes pratiques de management inspirées du Lean, pour les tech leaders.
Le premier article parle du Gemba : comment rester connecté au terrain pour mieux décider et comprendre les obstacles rencontrés par les équipes.

When your team sees how their work affects real people like a nurse relying on an e bike, building hardware becomes about solving problems, not just checking specs.

Try this now. Grab any object - your mug, a notebook, a receipt. Sketch only its outline for 30 seconds. Write one word under it. Something like Focus or Enough. Now do the next thing.
Limits aren't cages. They cut the noise so you can act.

You don’t need the whole map. Just trust that the friction is shaping who you’ll become.

Try this right now. Get any paper. Write two lists:
“Things people expect me to do”
“Things I truly owe”
Tear off the first list. Toss it. Your hands just freed your mind.
Remember: you drive your choices. Not every request in your path.

Here's what helps: try closing your eyes during your next set. Focus on your hands gripping cold iron. Listen to your breathing. Let three clean reps be enough on their own. The weights know what you did, even when people don't.
Real strength happens first when nobody's looking. That never changes.

Find the exact points where progress stops. Break down these barriers without mercy, even if it goes against normal rules or department boundaries.
Only combine efforts when working together makes things much more valuable. Otherwise, keep projects separate and fund them as individual, promising investments. Oversee all your different experiments.

In my STEM studies, the content is typically objective, factual, mechanical, and devoid of humanity.
More recently, first through #leanthinking, and then into #agile, #systemsthinking, #industrialengineering, I've come to realize that engineering with humanity creates progress for everyone, for the long term.
Thinkers like Galbraith, Follett, and Matthews show us a fair path, showing the bigger picture and putting humanity over profits.
IMHO, @debcha belongs in that same pantheon.

🚫 Stop rewarding complexity.
✅ Start noticing what could be removed.
Simplicity makes systems stronger. And simpler is almost always harder.

New in Beta:
by Mattias Skarin
Dive into real-world Kanban case studies and discover how teams like yours created a shared focus, improved time to market, and turned things around.
With illustrations of the Kanban boards, diagrams, and graphs that led to success, you’ll get a look behind the scenes. This updated edition even includes a diverse library of Kanban board examples to jump-start your journey.
Every roll of Green Aware compostable bags I’ve ever bought is deeply frustrating to open. Refuse to believe they are not ‘aware’ (both puns deliberate).
I hate products that make it so hard to remove the packaging that you actually damage the contents. I suppose there can be a strong commercial disincentive to fixing a user problem that generates more sales.
For any Engineers, Analyst, Process Improvement Consultants, Quality Technicians, etc.
My brother is in your tribe. He wants to sell you silly shirts, hats, and other trinkets that only you will understand.

Read another commentary on the NHS that included the phrase 'improve productivity'
To achieve this:
1. Stop asking staff, especially clinicians, to do more
2. Streamline processes to remove non-value adding tasks
3. **Make things easier** e.g. issue personal devices that enable staff to write the electronic records we ask them to produce
I know, simple isn't it?
