It turns out that I'm actually in a Jazz Band.

 

Most client problems include a number of unknowns which demands the ability to play with the band and break out into a solo as required in a context of high ambiguity.

 

I also prescribe to the scientific process requiring empirical data as feedback for decision making as illustrated in the Deming Cycle (PDCA). I am a huge fan of Deming.

 

Therefore I coin the term: EMPIRICAL JAZZ

 

Thoughtworks acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the land where we work and live, and their continued connection to Country. We pay our respects to Elders past and present. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples were the world's first scientists, technologists, engineers and mathematicians. We celebrate the stories, culture and traditions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders of all communities who also work and live on this land. 

 

As a company, we invite Thoughtworkers to be actively engaged in advancing reconciliation and strengthen their solidarity with the First Peoples of Australia. Since 2019, we have been working with Reconciliation Australia to formalize our commitment and take meaningful action to advance reconciliation. We invite you to review our Reconciliation Action Plan.
