Welcome to the Software Process and Measurement Cast 104.

SPaMCAST 104  features my interview with Nigel Green coauthor of Lost In Translation.  Nigel provides insights that suggests a new path for projects that focuses on the human dimensions of change.Nigel Green is an business change consultant, IS advisor and author who specialises in the conception, management and delivery of business-led IT solutions. He is fascinated by two things: the way people actually use IT and how well IT reflects real-world behaviour. His list of favourite authors hints at his values: philosophers, economists, architects, physicists, anthropologists, entrepreneurs, technologists and systems theory thought leaders are on that list. A business/IT translator for over 25 years, Nigel specializes in large organizations with complex and distributed operating models.
