Summary

Tony Blair, what a guy! Am I right, folks? He can't stop whining about how we need fewer houses and more apps. He can't stop pointing a finger at the Labour party and saying that it was better when we were pro-privatisation and pro-bombing. And now, of course, his institute has a great plan -- a policy paper full of nothing but management consultant speak -- with one sole defined policy goal: national ID cards. Yes, he still wants them.

I'm going to do one more, one more case study, and then we'll carry on.

0:17.2

Case study, Spotify's multidisciplinary teams.

0:20.6

Spotify is organized around multiple teams

0:22.7

each team known as a squad has end-to-end responsibility

0:25.5

for a specific service area covering all phases of design,

0:29.1

commit, deploy, maintenance, and operations.

0:31.1

Squads areas of focus should be mutually exclusive

0:33.0

to minimize interdependencies.

0:34.5

1:17.4

It's amazing to me that like Spotify, a music streaming service whose main business model is like

1:23.8

ripping off artists in order to make like super normal profits.

1:32.4

It's somehow not going to be the model to reorganize every single government department.
