What if the whole business went fast together?

You've spent two years getting product and engineering shipping multiple times a day. Releases are fast and of high quality. Then you notice the company isn't actually moving any faster.

Herry Wiputra spent seven and a half years at hipages tackling that exact problem. After accelerating product and engineering, he made a controversial call - break the silos open, restructure around cross-functional teams that own customer flows end-to-end, and put senior leadership members on the hook as direct sponsors of each team. Simon and Herry walk through the decision, the near-mutiny it triggered, the guardrails that kept it from collapsing into chaos, and the two environments where the whole approach is an anti-pattern.

A decision case on cross-functional teams, theory of constraints, and what it actually takes to move end-to-end velocity from a tech conversation to a board-level one.

Guest: Herry Wiputra, Chief Product Officer, hipages

Hosted by Simon Elisha — former AWS Chief Technologist, 35+ years in enterprise technology.
