• “Reviewing testing capability independently of other aspects of an organisation is often like moving deckchairs on the Titanic*”

I was happy…
• Reviewing
• Interviewing
• Strategising
![Page 5: Ash_Winter-DEWT7_V1](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051720/589a4ec71a28ab040e8b5c89/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Started seeing signs…
• Few talked about testing
• Structural Constraints
• Too much WIP
• No Product vision

A Teaching Hospital• Awesome ward
dashboard product
• Negative process
== negative
attitude
• Testing as a
symptom
• Recommended
balanced testing
strategy

When I returned…
• More (of
our)
consultants
• Minor local
testing
improvements
• Same pain
existed

Next time…
• Consider the system
• Root causes
• Options not solutions

Book Publisher
• Great books, bad software
• 3rd Parties
• Wanted more consultants to
solve their
consulting
problem

I recommended…• Deep system changes for external
services…
• Not more consultants…
• Time to celebrate a job well
done?

New directions…
• Less sales that way
• I quit• Deeper into systems thinking
• Nomadic since
