The Disgruntled PM

Eddie Dunn joins Trevor Greenberg to strip the corporate jargon from systems design and organizational development. Eddie argues that the secret to ROI isn’t expensive software, but the "Simple Elegance" of a People, Process, Technology hierarchy that prioritizes human intelligence over automation.  By applying the military rigor of Task, Condition, Standard to global projects, Eddie explains how to eliminate organizational noise and avoid the "Fragmentation" trap that stalls both business transformations and veteran transitions. This episode also serves as a guide to using Human Intelligence (HI) to navigate the "Neutral Zone" of change and build world-class infrastructure without using the status quo thinking that leads to implementation failure.   Connect With Eddie: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eddiedunn/ https://www.civilianready.org Like, Follow, and Subscribe LinkedIn Show Page:  https://www.linkedin.com/company/thedisgruntledpm 📺YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpmK5LZHPLJMH0YlNPrRlAA 🎙️Spotify:  https://open.spotify.com/show/6qIhx0QwilQrw41n0aLXnK 🎙️Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/2-disgruntled-pms/id1809317932 💵 Patreon: patreon.com/TheDisgruntledPMPodcast Be sure to check out our sponsor: Future-ready teams need future-ready tools, SpectC raises the bar for how teams execute projects Ready for the future?
