We're very pleased to receive one of this year's Gordon Pask Awards.
We'd like to thank the people who are part of our adventure: The crew at Energized Work who continue to inspire and challenge us; our clients, who have been courageous enough to try something different; and our friends in the agile community who have supported our endeavors. This award is for them all.
A few years ago we said companies valued the wrong things; businesspeople weren't accountable for their decisions; software development lacked craftsmanship; and people weren't empowered to do the right thing. Our 'No Compromise-No Excuses' approach gained us a reputation as zealots. Yet to us, it was just a decision not to compromise on the stuff we think is important.
Craftsmanship, personal discipline and rigor are important to us. But software is much more than code. We wanted to work with companies who recognized their software as assets and were prepared to push the boundaries, to change their organization and culture, to achieve greater effectiveness.
We're excited by the future - working with new companies, evolving our use of pomodoros, productstreams and lean accounting to maximize client profit, and testing our ideas for user-driven development. Rest assured, we'll continue to challenge the status quo and we'll continue to learn and improve.
