Interesting discussion, and excellent interview. Too few podcasts debate the issues the interviewee is raising. this was refreshing in that some discussion occurred.
While the classical view sees software development as largely separate from the wider organizational environment the organizational learning perspective embeds software development within this environment. From this point of view the act of software development has a role to play in higher order organizational learning by the company.
