Episode notes
In this episode, we dive into the fascinating world of exoskeletons, both literal and metaphorical. We start by discussing military-grade human exoskeletons and their perceived usefulness versus real-world functionality. This leads us to a broader discussion on how businesses often build their own 'exoskeletons' around tooling and processes. We explore how outdated or cumbersome systems create hidden process debt and hinder innovation. Our conversation touches on the importance of management in unblocking their teams, and how organizations can become trapped in inefficient reporting structures. Finally, we draw an interesting parallel between biological exoskeletons and business processes, arguing for a more intentional and adaptive approach to both.
