Loops and Cycles

For leaders and learners who want good work to come to life.

Get Loops and Cycles in your inbox once every now and then.

We explore the product game — the nature of our teams and organizations, how software unfolds into reality, and what it means to play strategically.

Loops is a bit more raw than the essays and resources published on the site: a short bite, the seeds of a new direction, a hypothesis you can carry into your work.

This is an invitation to join the exploration: try following along — if you don't like it, you can always leave.
