- OOP 2014 - Social Sciences Make a Difference Being aware of the state of our minds and our environment is very important not only for Agile teams, but for any team. Let's say that you have made up your mind about what you are going to do and are about to execute your plan.

- Lean Agile Scotland 2013 - Bermuda Triangle of Transformations This talk will explain the three vertices - for example, why an organisation needs a critical mass and proper environment to expand the effect of an idea -, and how they are related to each other - for example, how the setup of a committee can create a cargo cult inside an organisation, which eventually provides false positive results.
