#168 Embracing Flow – with Nigel Thurlow

In this episode Being Human, I speak with Nigel Thurlowex-Chief of Agile at Toyota and co-author of The Flow System.
Tired of the framework merchants and the over-commercialisation of the Agile movement, Nigel could see that a new approach was needed. A philosophy that went beyond Lean and Agile to embrace complexity thinking, team science and the critical question of leadership.
He believes, first and foremost, in education as the driver of change. Present people with the science and trust them to apply it in their context.

In this episode, we talk:

  • The holy triad of complexity, team science and distributed leadership
  • Why leadership training must change
  • Going beyond Systems Thinking
  • New physics
  • How information is upstream of energy
