#16 - Matt Ballantine - Unf*cking Work
This month James and Michelle speak to Matt Ballantine about unf*cking work.
Matt is a sociologist and technologist who has worked managing and leading technology teams in organisations across the public and private sectors for the last 30 years, including the BBC, Microsoft and Reuters.
Since June 2022 he has been an Engagement Manager at Equal Experts. He usually also has at least a couple of side projects on the go at any given time.
In this episode, we talk about:
The lie that all problems can be solved by technology
Human-sized organisations and all the things that go wrong when people increase beyond that number.
And why performance management processes are the devil incarnate!
