| It's a Noisy World Out There | GOTO Chicago 2023 | 2023-05-22 |
Research shows random variability — noise — often causes more error than bias: simple additive algorithms (a+b+c) outperform experts in Paul Meehl–style… | ||

Research shows team-size limits: Dunbar ranges (1.5 intimates, 5 close, 15 best, 50 good, 150 meaningful friends, 500 acquaintances, 1,500 known names) and… | ||
| Who Do You Trust? Beware of Your Brain | YOW! Melbourne 2022 | 2022-12-08 |
Humans are hardwired to make instant trust judgments that form quick us vs them groups and produce predictable bias. Classic field experiments show how 22… | ||
| About trees, agility and me | Craft Conference 2022 | 2022-06-02 |
Argues that forests run on an underground fungal network that lets trees trade carbon and minerals, citing Suzanne Simard’s 1997 experiments that trace… | ||
| Incentives: why or why not? | Stretch Conference 2021 | 2021-12-07 |
Starts with Pavlov and Harlow evidence that rewards often backfire: extrinsic carrots vs sticks evoke behaviorism while puzzles and Lego studies show enjoyment… | ||
| How to Talk to the Elephant | Agile India 2021 | 2021-11-18 |
Uses Kahneman’s System 1/2 mapped to Haidt’s elephant (emotional) vs rider (rational) and gives concrete tactics: tell identifying stories, ask for advice… | ||
| About trees, agility and me | Build Stuff 2021 | 2021-11-17 |
Claims that forests operate as a cooperative system supported by an underground mycorrhizal network (the "wood wide web") that trades carbon for minerals, with… | ||
| A Cheap Effective Method for Dealing with Stressful Situations | Agile India 2020 | 2020-10-11 |
Expressive writing claims measurable health gains: Pennebaker’s 1983 trial halves subsequent clinic visits, psychoneuroimmunology followups show reduced… | ||
| Thinking Fast and Slow | DevConf 2018 | 2018-09-26 |
Explains Kahneman’s system 1 vs system 2 model with concrete numbers: system 1 processes ~11 million bits/sec and does ~95% of thinking, system 2 fatigues… | ||
| Experiments, the Good, the Bad, and the Beautiful | Agile India 2018 | 2018-03-04 |
Argues for replacing grand "experiments" with tiny actionable trials, showing why randomized science is usually impossible in orgs and why small simple fast… | ||
| Myths and Patterns of Organisational Change | Agile India 2018 | 2018-03-04 |
Claim: rational argument alone rarely changes organizations, so use social psychology, influence research and repeated small trials to shift behavior. Concrete… | ||
| Moral Foundations Theory help in overcoming resistance | Build Stuff 2017 | 2017-11-15 |
Claim: facts rarely change minds because decisions come from fast, emotional brain systems; experiments (fMRI, behavioral economics) show confirmation bias… | ||
| Continuous Retrospectives | GOTO Copenhagen 2016 | 2016-10-03 |
Proposes replacing end-of-project retros with a public real-time timeline (sticky notes or index cards posted as events occur) plus an experiment row for… | ||
| 2016 Keynote Linda Rising | Agile on the Beach 2016 | 2016-07-06 |
Claims that Agile is proven lack no randomized controlled trials; decision-making relies on persuasive stories and placebo-like belief more than evidence… | ||
| Panel Discussion and Close | Agile on the Beach 2016 | 2016-07-06 |
An improvisational fishbowl improv panel lets audience members swap into one of four seats and feed questions written on Post-it questions, prioritised by the… | ||
| "Welcome to Codemotion!" | Codemotion Amsterdam 2016 | 2016-05-11 |
Multitrack conference at unexpected scale with tightly run logistics and consistently full rooms; attendees come from many countries and cities including Rome… | ||
| Keynote Myths and Patterns of Organizational Change | Codemotion Rome 2016 | 2016-03-18 |

| Interview | Codemotion Rome 2016 | 2016-03-18 |
Change succeeds only when it addresses people’s emotions and perceived losses, not just logic: loss aversion explains why experts resist new practices, and… | ||
| The Power of Retrospection | Agile Pune 2014 | 2014-11-21 |
Argues that regular, short retrospectives turn learning into measurable change, using a real-time timeline of color‑coded cards to capture events and emotions… | ||

Argues that engineering choices usually follow convincing stories and emotion rather than randomized science, citing Semmelweis’s handwashing that cuts… | ||
| Interview with | GOTO Chicago 2013 | 2013-04-23 |
Argues that intrinsic motivation beats carrots and sticks, citing the Harlow 1949 rhesus monkey experiment that shows play for its own sake; demonstrates that… | ||
