Barry is also Co-Founder and Chief Incubation Officer at venture studio, Nobody Studios, and faculty at Singularity University. Barry brings insights from his career at the intersection of business model innovation, product development, organizational design, and culture transformation. He describes how we can learn but not make progress and how some discomfort enables breakthroughs. He explains what questions can help you identify where you get in your own way, and what small iterative changes can do for you.     KEY TAKEAWAYS   [02:22] Barry was interested in business but a new university tech course takes him by surprise.   [04:49] Barry moves to San Francisco to work for CitySearch.com which almost merges with Elon Musk's first venture, Zip2.   [05:39] The power of technology in business becomes clear to Barry.   [06:28] When Barry finishes his degree his pre-signed job with an economic downturn.   [08:24] Barry moves to Edinburgh and starts building games for Sony, Sega, and Disney.   [09:20] Barry and team find out they have no idea how to scale when the business takes off.   [10:12] A 6-month sabbatical after 3 years working is Barry's preferred working rhythm.   [11:44] Australia offers Barry an interesting opportunity in e-learning and ‘game' businesses.   [13:02] On to London, Barry joins pioneers in the agile movement and shares the genesis story.   [14:34] Working at ThoughtWorks is a mad experience and a huge accelerator for Barry.   [15:11] The company was contrarian. It had no-rules, but a strong culture, setting the bar for how people showed up.   [16:12] Barry was inspired by Ricardo Semler, the young CEO of a Brazilian manufacturing company.   [18:17] Why have people report to you if they know what they're doing?   [19:29] ThoughtWorks was 30% female engineers—publishing this data openly which supported diversity.   [21:16] Barry co-authors Lean Enterprise his first book.   [24:03] Barry's ‘unlearning' Aha! And Eureka moments in a Sichuan restaurant in San Francisco.   [25:40] Diagnosing limiting beliefs, ‘Unlearn' as a system of experimentation.   [27:00] Asking the questions to find out where you're stuck, what you're afraid of doing.   [28:04] Barry offers piercing diagnostic questions--what 3-4 ideas do these questions raise for you?   [28:42] Barry's personal example of using the Unlearn method.   [29:18] Figuring out what the outcome is you actually want.   [30:42] After defining the goal, experimentation starts with small uncomfortable shifts in behavior.   [33:48] Leaning into discomfort is one way to find breakthroughs.   [35:01] A senior bank executive used unlearning to stop making any decisions!   [38:10] Barry trains with BJ Fogg an innovators of behavior design, author of Tiny Habits.   [39:24] Defining your vision and future is key to finding focus and moving forward.   [43:22] IMMEDIATE ACTION TIP: You don't just have one shot, you actually have many. If something didn't go how you would like, that wasn't IT. It was just a moment. Take the lessons from it—look for some hard lessons rather than to other folks as to why it didn't work. Then dust yourself down and prepare for the next opportunity because it WILL arrive.     RESOURCES   Barry O'Reilly on LinkedIn Barry O'Reilly on X @barryoreilly BarryOReilly.com   Barry's books: Unlearn: Let Go of Past Success to Achieve Extraordinary Results Lean Enterprise: How High-Performance Organizations Innovate at Scale.     QUOTES (edited)   “Every single person that walked through that door was bright, talented, and capable. Culture has a huge impact on the way people feel comfortable and how it can also cause an adverse reaction.”   “I strive not to have anyone to report to me. I want them to own their work. I want people to be engaged and focused on their work. I'll be there to provide feedback, guidance, mentorship, whatever it is. That's my responsibility.”   “If you don't make diversity visible people will not know it's a place that they can be. They need to see people like them in leadership roles.”   “A lot of Unlearn is a system of experimentation. You are diagnosing limiting behaviors or beliefs and reframing them as outcomes that you want, and then experimenting to drive those outcomes.”   “The trick is doing uncomfortable things but making them smaller.”   “You never learn stuff, if you don't create the space for it to happen.”   “What can hinder us from creating an exciting future for ourselves, each one of us is the habits of the past.”

Webinar by Barry O'Reilly March 6 from 1:00 - 2:00 ET Presented by Barry O'Reilly In this session, you will: Learn to use a systematic approach to adapting your behaviors and mindset in order to meet the demands of an exponential rate of innovation. Discover how to let go, reframe, and rethink past successes in order to succeed in the future. Identify and address the personal obstacles that you need to unlearn. Challenge your thinking, get outside your comfort zone, and achieve results beyond what you thought was possible. Effective leadership comes with a large learning curve. In today’s rapidly evolving business climate, this is truer than ever for seasoned leaders and entrepreneurs alike. Many leaders rely too heavily on past achievements, practices, and ways of thinking to drive positive business results today, but they often need to unlearn those behaviors before they can take a step forward. Join executive coach Barry O’Reilly as he breaks down a transformative framework that shows leaders how to rethink their strategies, retool their capabilities, and revitalize their businesses for stronger, longer-lasting success. "Unlearn: Let Go of Past Success to Achieve Extraordinary Results" shows leaders and entrepreneurs how to deliberately move away from once-useful mindsets and outdated behaviors that were effective in the past and embrace new behaviors that are effective in a world ripe with emerging technologies and accelerated change.

It's two Barrys in a row on the podcast, as my guest for Episode #335 is Barry O'Reilly and we're talking, in depth, about his latest book, Unlearn: Let Go of Past Success to Achieve Extraordinary Results. Barry is a business advisor, entrepreneur, and author who has pioneered the intersection of business model innovation, product development, organizational design, and culture transformation. See his full bio. Last week, I shared a shorter discussion with Barry that served as a preview of the webinar that he's presenting on Wednesday. You can find a link to register for the live webinar (or to view the recording) at leanblog.org/335. Barry and I chat about topics including 1) experimental approaches to entrepreneurship, 2) how leaders need to make it safe for people to try new things, and 3) why you have to unlearn before you can learn something new – that's the pathway that allows you to then achieve breakthrough results. These are good ideas in business and they also talk about the interesting case of tennis legend Serena Williams and how she reinvented her game to extend her greatness. I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did and do hope you'll pick up the book.

He and Brian Ardinger discuss creating a culture of experimentation in enterprises and seeing everything as an assumption.  Barry came to the U.S. originally from Ireland on a student visa and worked at City Search “putting people on the Internet.” He soon joined a mobile games development company and created a popular game called Wireless Pets. Soon large corporations started calling asking the company to build games. This caused Barry to develop an experimental mindset. Soon Barry moved to Australia to build next-gen content for E-learning in Southeast Asia. Game design and game theory is teaching new skills in safe environment. It allows for rapid experimentation and behavior. Then Barry joined a consultancy in London called ThoughtWorks. They were pioneers in Agile software development where he worked with companies to reinvent portfolio management and how to fund and test ideas.  Barry’s first book, Lean Enterprise, highlights how to create experimentation in enterprises. Amazon does this well because they have a culture that makes experimentation cheap and fast. They are able to gather better data and are unlearning existing beliefs and learning new ones that can help them break through and innovate.    In his new book, Unlearn, Barry says people recognize that we always have to be learning, but it’s tough to learn new stuff. The limiting factor is the ability to unlearn behavior especially when it’s made you successful. Letting go and moving away from things that limit us, like outdated info. Barry highlights the most bureaucratic regulated companies in his book and describes how these people are making amazing changes.  Barry also hosts Exec Camp, where execs leave their businesses for up to 8 weeks to launch new businesses to disrupt their existing companies. It’s like an accelerator for senior leaders. They learn and unlearn new things about themselves. For example, the International Airlines Group came to Exec Camp, to launch six new ideas to disrupt the airline industry. They tested ideas with customers and had to unlearn the behavior of pushing ideas on customers. They soon began to see everything as an assumption.  We’re conditioned to believe that the way we solve a customer problem is the only way to do it. Tech changes how to solve problems. Startups are able to start with a blank set of assumptions. Individuals get disrupted not companies. If you are adapting your features and behaviors, you won’t be disrupted. May need to shift your tactics or beliefs.  FOR MORE INFO To find out more, go to Barryoreilly.com on Twitter @BarryOReilly.
