Presentation at the Scan-Agile conference
Last week, I was at the Scan-Agile conference in Helsinki. I did a completely new presentation which I called "Journey through product development literature". It was a new style of presentation that only consisted of quotes from different books. I had a lot of fun making and doing the presentation.
I got some requests to list the books I talked about. Here they are:
- Hackers & Painters - Paul Graham
- How to Read a Book - Adler, Van Doren
- Dynamic Manufacturing - Hayes, Wheelwright and Clark
- Toyota Culture - Liker, Hoseus
- Just in Time - Ohno
- 8th Habit - Covey
- Clean Code - Martin
- Hard Facts - Pfeffer, Sutton
- Cross-Functional Teams - Parker
- Flexible Product Development - Smith
- Winning with Products - Cooper
- Product Development Performance - Clark, Fujimoto
- Revolutionizing Product Development - Clark, Wheelwright
- Fast Cycle Time - Meyer
- Designing Team-Based Organizations - Mohrman, Cohen
- The Discipline of Teams - Kaztenbach, Smith
- Wisdom of Teams - Katzenbach, Smith
- Leading Teams - Hackman
- X-Teams - Ancona, Bresman
- Reflections on Quality - Crosby
- Teams at the Top - Katzenbach
- Leading Self-Directed Teams - Fisher
Not all of the books are recommended reading though :) Some of the really good (and modern) ones are "Leading Teams", "Fast Cycle Time", "Toyota Culture" and "Hard Facts"
