Episode notes

The speaker discusses the importance of both technical tools and a new way of working in achieving better project communication and collaboration. They mention using tools like Miro and FigJam as an evolving whiteboard, rather than static slide decks. However, they also acknowledge the challenges of maintaining organization in these tools without community norms. They highlight the value of wikis and wiki culture in creating a cohesive and productive collaborative environment. The speaker emphasizes the need to develop community rhythms and norms to ensure successful project outcomes.

Jerry Michalski helps organizations become more trustworthy by exploring their language, processes, and intentions. That’s fascinating in itself — but I wanted to talk with him primarily because he curates an online resource called Jerry’s Brain, a deep repository of interconnected thoughts. He’s worked on Jerry’s Brain for a quarter of a century, longer than any other such experiment I’m aware of. So, I wanted to find out why and how he does this.
