Organize intentionally in 4 ways: 1. Organize towards value. 2. Organize within value streams. 3. Organize to minimize dependencies. 4. Organize to maximize capabilities. #FlowEngineering makes this a straightforward practice. #valuestreammapping #wardleymapping

There are too many screens in cars these days. I just want to drive somewhere comfortably, listen to music without 12 screens in my face. Someone is going to build a car brand around simplicity, real buttons. 0 screens and it's going to sell like crazy.

Only Apple can get away with this cycle over and over: - Release broken and annoying changes - Herald them as groundbreaking innovations - Experience massive and foreseeable backlash - Fix issues & tech debt after months/years - Push a narrative that they're constantly improving

Honored to share that two of our books won gold medals in the Axiom Business Book Awards this year! Vibe Coding: Building Production-Grade Software With GenAI, Chat, Agents, and Beyond, by Gene Kim and Steve Yegge, won gold in Business Technology. Flow Engineering: From Value Stream Mapping to Effective Action, by Steve Pereira & Andrew Davis, won gold in Business Reference. The lineup of other medalists is truly impressive! You can view the full list at the link below, and be sure to congratulate the authors! buff.ly/COme4Ic

The greatest way for a hotel chain to gain and retain my loyalty would be to let me set a preference for not having my sheets tucked in.

Ask ChatGPT a complex question and you'll get a confident, well-reasoned answer. Then type, "Are you sure?" Watch it completely reverse its position. Ask again. It flips back. By the third round, it usually acknowledges you're testing it, which is somehow worse. It knows what's happening and still can't hold its ground. This isn't a quirky bug. A 2025 study found GPT, Claude, and Gemini flip their answers ~60% of the time when users push back. Not even with evidence, just doubt. We trained AI this way. RLHF rewards agreement over accuracy. Human evaluators consistently rate agreeable answers higher than correct ones. So the models learned a simple lesson: telling you what you want to hear gets rewarded. And now 1/3 of companies are using these systems for complex tasks like risk forecasting and scenario planning. We built the world's most expensive yes-men and deployed them where we need pushback the most. I wrote up why this happens and what actually fixes it: randalolson.com/2026/02/07/t…
