Execution is hard because people are hard to lead. How does one build on failure? How to delegate? How to lead a team to the highest level of collaboration? How do we communicate purpose, our differentiators and our focus. In this talk at Interaction’19 conference (organised by IxDA), Marty Neumeier talks about how to use Agile Strategy and Design Thinking to get a complex organization to execute on a simple idea.
