SPaMCAST 177 - The Beginner's Mind

Welcome to the Software Process and Measurement Cast 177! The SPaMCAST 177 features my essay titled The Beginner's Mind. The essay begins: Why is it easier for some organizations to innovate or to change more than others? Why do some organizations become less flexible after a new idea is successfully implemented? I believe that the concept of the beginner’s mind holds a substantial clue about why some people and organizations either embrace or resist change.    Interested in becoming a radio star?
