About This Podcast

For the past decade I have been working with scaling technology organizations who need to address the challenges of how to scale revenue, customer base, and employee headcount. "Agile Plays" (http://agileplays.co.uk) are a set of strategies for scalability. Like a successful sports team you compile a set of strategies or “Plays”. These give potential solutions and the team chooses Plays as appropriate to gain advantage.
