Clarke is the author of The Bottleneck Rule, Rolling Rocks Downhill, and Corkscrew Solutions. He’s a computer scientist with an MBA, has been powered by the Theory of Constraints (ToC) and Lean for over 25 years and Agile since 2003.
Why UN-Common Sense
As popular as Agile is, its success rate is not particularly high. Your three hosts believe this is because most organizations are being led by cargo cult and echo chambers. Many brilliant and proven concepts are not in any of the more popular approaches. This has resulted in a huge gap between what is possible and what is being achieved. The Uncommon Sense sessions will present many concepts that organizations should be using but that are not popular while also uncover myths present in popular methods that are holding organizations back.
The hosts of Uncommon sense are either creators of cutting edge, but proven approaches (Al, Steve) or an experienced trainer / practitioner in Agile methods. This will ensure you get both the theory and the practice of the methods being described.

About UN-Common Sense
Uncommon Sense is a weekly session hosted by Al Shalloway, Steve Tendon and Joshua Barnes. The intention is to rethink many myths in the Agile space while presenting proven, but little used, concepts and techniques. The hosts of Uncommon Sense sessions represent the only two full value stream approaches that incorporate Patterns, Lean, Flow and Theory of Constraints while also attending to the human elements and culture of an organization!
