The SENDcast
Why does the Assess, Plan, Do, Review cycle matter? with Sara Alston

The SENDcast

Since the 2015 SEN Code of Practice SEN support has been based on a graduate response that includes an Assess, Plan, Do, Review (APDR) cycle. Unfortunately, this cycle is becoming fragmented, with each component operating in isolation. Assessments are not being linked to children's needs or plans to support them. Plans are made but not implemented and reviews are just a recap of what a child can or cannot do. Sara Alson, SEND and Safeguarding Consultant and Trainer, joins Dale in the studio to discuss why the APDR cycle matters.  Sara stresses that it is an ongoing process that should adapt to the needs of each child, ultimately aiming to improve their educational experience. I thoroughly enjoyed this episode, especially Sara's engaging analogies, including her comparison of Monopoly rules to planned interventions! Make sure you listen to learn the key elements of an effective APDR cycle and how to implement it successfully.

In this episode, host Munir Haque welcomes Matt Fullbrook, creator of the One Minute Governance podcast and the Ground-Up Governance platform, to the show to discuss his 23 years of experience in more than 300 boardrooms, ranging from local non-profits to global corporations. Through extensive research, Matt discovered that there's not much consensus in academic literature about the impact of governance on financial performance or leadership effectiveness. This prompted him to redefine governance for himself, moving beyond traditional frameworks to develop a more evidence-based and practical approach that he discusses with Munir.  Matt currently experiments with clients, conference participants, and students to test and refine governance strategies, ones that prioritize decision-making effectiveness over strict structural rules. He stresses the importance of diversity and inclusion in governance, challenging the traditional approach that prioritizes skill sets before diversity. Matt and Munir talk about how diverse perspectives enhance decision-making and should be an integral part of board composition from the outset. Matt's conversation highlights how he seeks to help boards and executives embrace governance as a tool for success rather than a restriction. He works to reframe governance as an ongoing process of improving decision-making instead of enforcing bureaucratic control.About Matt FullbrookMatt Fullbrook has advised over 250 boardrooms during his 20-year career as a corporate governance researcher, educator and consultant. He is also the host of the One Minute Governance podcast, creator of Ground-Up Governance, and a frequent speaker and media commentator.Highlights of Matt's academic career include serving as the leader of corporate governance research at the University of Toronto's Rotman School, as co-academic director of the joint Rotman-Institute of Corporate Directors Board Dynamics for Executives program, and as Academic Director of the Credit Union Executives Society's High Performing Boards series.In addition to his governance work, Matt is a professional bass player with KC Roberts & The Live Revolution, a touring band who have released seven studio albums.

I'm your host Munir Haque, an executive coach and senior board strategist. I have partnered with Action Edge Executive Development to lead their governance and political acumen division. In each episode we meet with governance leaders and step into their boardrooms, where decisions shape the world around us.Munir Haque: [00:00:58] In today's episode, we have Mr. Matt Fullbrook. Matt is one of the most recognizable and respected voices in North American corporate governance. Bringing 23 years of experience to more than 300 boardrooms, ranging from local non-profits to global corporations. As the creator of the One Minute Governance podcast and the Ground-Up Governance platform, Matt has created a massive library of practical insights to master boardroom challenges. Matt serves as an Executive in Residence at the Rotman School of Management, University of Toronto, where he has shaped the future of governance for the past two decades. He is currently the Academic Director of the Rotman ICD program, Working Effectively with Your Board, a program for senior executives. In addition to his governance work, Matt is a professional bass player with the KC Roberts & the Live Revolution, a touring band that has seven studio albums. Welcome to the show, Matt.Matt Fullbrook: [00:02:02] Thanks for having me, Munir.Munir Haque: [00:02:03] A lot of things that many of our other guests have talked about that are changing standards or the trend, but I think where I'd like to get to with you is pushing that a little bit, and seeing if you can challenge any of that. Interesting enough, whether or not that's something that you're even challenging yourself, having been in the industry for 23 years. Whether now you're challenging stuff that you were forcing down the throat of your clients and your students over the last umpteen years. Are you starting to rethink some of that stuff?Matt Fullbrook: [00:02:37] The short answer is absolutely. The most embarrassing illustration of what you're talking about is, and I say embarrassing but I'm a pretty shame-free person so I don't actually feel embarrassed, but objectively it's kind of embarrassing that I came out of that long stretch studying and talking about and educating people on governance. If you'd asked me three years ago, you've got this job in corporate governance, what is that? I wouldn't have had a really useful answer. I certainly wouldn't have had a really useful answer about what I thought 'good' looked like. I would have given the usual, it's about structures and processes and practices and so on. Forgetting the fact that governance is a thing that people actually do and forgetting the fact of, what is that exactly? What's the difference between doing it really well and not doing it so well? It was that realization that I was really struggling to describe, for lack of a better word, my life's work that made me go, I wonder what I'm missing here. When you start digging a little bit deeper, you realize that corporate governance in the management literature is one of the most studied topics. Of the tens of thousands of academic papers, I'm using academic papers just as an illustration here. There's no consensus on what corporate governance is, whether there's any causal relationship between governance and financial performance, whether CEOs matter or director independence etc. There's all this dogma out there that I had helped to perpetuate that's not rooted in any evidence. I've been on this journey to try to, at least for myself, develop a set of definitions and concepts and stuff to try that's actually rooted in something that I believe in, instead of something that's generically embraced, despite the fact that we can't support it.Munir Haque: [00:04:47] You said that you're trying things, so how do you report back on that and figure out if it's working?Matt Fullbrook: [00:04:54] I'm going to struggle to answer that second piece, because figuring out if it's working is more abstract than it sounds, but I ...

#195 - Working Effectively with Legacy Code and AI Coding Assistant - Michael Feathers

“Legacy code is a code without tests. If you have code, and it has lots of tests, it's relatively easy to change. But if you don't have the tests, you're really in serious trouble.” Do you dread working with legacy code? Michael Feathers, renowned software expert and author of the classic “Working Effectively with Legacy Code,” joins me to discuss the challenges and strategies for working with legacy code, a topic that remains highly relevant even after 20 years! Michael explains why he defines legacy code as “code without tests,” emphasizing the crucial role of automated tests for code maintainability, rather than simply defining it as an old inherited code. He also provides insights on the psychological challenges of working with legacy code and stresses the importance of approaching it with curiosity and a sense of adventure. The conversation also explores the evolving world of AI assistant in software development, drawing from Michael's forthcoming book, “AI-Assisted Programming”. He shares how AI can assist developers in various tasks, such as explaining code, identifying potential issues, generating tests, and exploring new possibilities. Listen to this episode to explore the intersection of legacy code, AI, and the future of software development!   Listen out for: Career Journey - [00:01:24] “Working Effectively with Legacy Code” Book - [00:02:05] Definition of Legacy Code - [00:04:55] The Importance of Automated Tests - [00:06:39] Understanding Legacy Code - [00:09:47] Mindset for Working with Legacy Code - [00:11:15] Rewrite vs Fixing Legacy Code - [00:13:50] Microservice for Legacy Code - [00:15:36] Approach to Dealing with Legacy Code - [00:17:33] Seams - [00:20:03] Strangler Fig - [00:21:42] Understanding Refactoring - [00:22:48] Testing Pyramid - [00:24:28] Code Nobody Wants to Touch - [00:26:10] AI for Understanding Legacy Code - [00:27:53] AI Churning More Legacy Code - [00:30:06] “AI Assisted Programming” Book - [00:32:47] Prompt Engineering - [00:34:16] Doing in Small Steps - [00:35:09] Best Use Case for AI - [00:37:29] Developer's Fear of AI - [00:39:16] SudoLang - [00:40:59] AI as Test Assistant - [00:43:42] Context Window - [00:45:19] Waywords - [00:47:14] Managing AI Sessions - [00:48:53] Using Different AI Tools - [00:50:30] 3 Tech Lead Wisdom - [00:52:28] _____ Michael Feathers's BioMichael Feathers is the Founder and Director of R7K Research & Conveyance, a company specializing in software and organization design.

In this Mob Mentality Show episode, Chris Lucian and Austin Chadwick dive into the complexities of modern CI/CD (Continuous Integration / Continuous Delivery) pipeline code and IaC (Infrastructure as Code), exploring why these critical components of software delivery often exhibit the same problematic attributes as classic Legacy Code. Drawing inspiration from Michael Feathers' seminal book *Working Effectively with Legacy Code*, they analyze the paradox of cutting-edge DevOps practices turning into technical debt almost as soon as they're written. ### Episode Highlights: - **CI/CD Pipeline Code and Legacy Code Parallels**: Why does so much CI/CD and IaC code resemble legacy code? Despite being crucial for continuous delivery and automation, CI/CD pipelines can become fragile, difficult to change, and filled with technical debt if not handled carefully. Austin and Chris discuss why this phenomenon is so common and what makes the codebases for CI/CD pipelines especially prone to these issues.    - **“Edit and Pray” vs. TDD Confidence**: Do your CI/CD changes feel like a roll of the dice? Chris and Austin compare how the lack of test-driven development (TDD) practices in CI/CD code leads to “edit and pray” scenarios. They discuss the confidence that TDD brings to traditional application development and how applying similar principles could reduce fragility in CI/CD code. - **The Pitfalls of YAML in IaC**: Is the problem inherent to YAML? The hosts explore whether the complexity of YAML syntax and configurations is the root cause of the brittleness often found in IaC. They provide real-world examples of IaC configurations that suffer from high cyclomatic complexity—making them feel more like full-blown applications rather than simple configuration files. - **Fear of Change in CI/CD and IaC**: Why are developers often afraid to modify CI/CD pipeline code or IaC? Chris and Austin highlight the psychological aspects of fragile infrastructure—where fear of unintended consequences and lack of fast feedback loops result in slower iterations and more bugs. They explore why these codebases are often re-written from scratch instead of extended and safely enhanced. - **Reducing Fragility through Experiments**: The episode features a recent experiment where CI/CD pipeline code was developed in Python using TDD and separation of concerns. This case study reveals the pros and cons of less YAML and a shift towards more code-based "configurations." Could this approach be a solution to reducing brittleness in IaC and pipelines? - **A World Without Brittle Pipelines?**: Imagine a world without fragile pipelines and brittle configuration files. Chris and Austin discuss strategies to move towards more resilient infrastructure and how teams can focus on improving feedback loops, reducing complexity, and enabling safer, faster CI/CD iterations. Join Chris and Austin as they explore these and other crucial topics that are impacting DevOps teams around the world. Whether you're struggling with high bug rates in your pipelines, slow feedback loops, or simply want to better understand how to manage the complexity of modern infrastructure, this episode is for you!

Obsessions are repetitive, unwanted thoughts that are very difficult to control. They commonly cause distress and anxiety and are often focused on a specific theme such as germs and contamination. Compulsions are repetitive behaviors or thoughts that help make the obsessive thoughts go away. They can be very time consuming and prevent the individual from participating in activities the person values. Treatment is available for patients with OCD, and most can be helped.

Online and offline, our world is a hugely complex tangle of modern creations and the legacy of the past. As we build upon the shoulders of times gone by, we are in a constant process of assessing what is still useful, what needs to be adapted and what no longer serves us. Aleks looks at the process of salvaging value from the world around us, looking at the pleasure and pain of sifting through the past, the pressures to preserve, how value can evolve over time, the allure of creating from scratch in the face of complex legacy systems and structures, and how treasure is often in the eye of the beholder. Michael Feathers is a software architect and author of Working Effectively with Legacy Code. Over the years, he advised many different companies on the strategic reuse and modernisation of their legacy code and systems. He is currently the Chief Architect for Globant, a global organisation helping companies transform their businesses. Dr James Hunter is a maritime archeologist and curator at the Australian National Maritime Museum. He is also an avid diver. James has excavated sixteenth century Spanish galleons, wrecks from the US civil war and many vessels sunk in World wars.

In Japan we usually need a couple of meetings with the client to get the business.  In Meeting One, we build the rapport and trust, we explore their needs and try to understand if what we have is actually what they need.  We are tremendously disinterested in slamming any square pegs into round holes and wasting our precious sales time. If we have understood their needs and we can help them, then we set up Meeting Two, right then and there, to come back with our proposal.  In some cases, we might have a simple requirement and we can provide the pricing and terms on the spot and try and do the deal while we are in the first meeting.  Usually anything with big numbers attached to it needs a proper proposal, because various sections of the buyer's company will need to conduct their due diligence on the deal, so there are multiple decision-makers involved. How much detail should the proposal include?  Some salespeople in Japan work on the basis that Japanese clients are always hungry to devour as much data and information as possible, to make sure they reduce the chance of making a mistake.  So they have a long and very detailed proposal for the client to wade through.  This is a very tricky equation.  We are in danger of diluting our key points by over-powering them with too much information.  On the other hand, as noted, there is always more than one person involved in the decision and some people will be data vampires who want to suck up as much information as possible.  So we have a number of audiences for our work and how do we keep them all satisfied? One answer is to keep the main body of the proposal fairly simple and clean – we don't bog it down in endless detail.  The heavy lifting detail can be moved to an accompanying document or we sequester it at the end of the proposal, as a separate entity for those who need lots and lots of information.  We know that the Analytical personality style will be looking for numbers to three decimal places and these types are usually in the technical fields or are to do with the money side of the business and we have to cater for them too.  Driver and Expressive personality styles will not be interested in so much detail – they want to get to the point and keep moving, because they either see time is money or they dislike getting into the weeds. Because we know that our document will get moved around it is a good idea to assume some of the readers won't know anything about who we are and what we do.  So, a small section outlining the company background and the scope of work we cover will be a good little addition aimed at people we will never meet,  The people in the room with us know about us of course, but we shouldn't assume they are going to tell all of the other readers everything they know about us. We can consider some additions and deletions for the proposal.  Additions would be ancillary services or products which the buyer might like to consider.  You get this on Amazon and other shopping sites, where they tell you what other similar buyers also bought as a way to add to the shopping cart while they have your attention.  We can do the same and add in some additional suggestions which may help the buyer.  In our case, we might be talking about a training course and we might add in as an optional extra some one-on-one coaching as well.  They won't have mentioned it in the original conversation, but we put it in the proposal and price it, as a way of stimulating their thinking.  If they don't want it, then they can just take it out and we only price the main service.  A deletion would be scope creep.  If we are not specific enough, buyers will agree to our proposal and then assume it also covers a bunch of other stuff, all of which costs us money, but which was not covered in our original pricing.  Without going crazy, we need to delineate what we are going to include for the price and what is not covered, but which could be included for an additional payment.  Payment cadence is also a good thing to mention.  Perhaps you want to receive payments on the way through the project, is if is stretched out over time and you cannot get paid up front.  Some big companies are very happy to screw the little guy and will force you to agree to 60, 90 or 120 day payments.  Their CFO has done a calculation of how much they can make extra by not paying us in a timely manner and force us to wait to get paid. It is a good idea to stipulate your payment cadence terms in the proposal and make it clear from the start.  Sometimes you just have to suck it up if you want the business, but it is a better idea to try and fight for better payments terms from the get go. After a while we will come up with some templates which work well and we can keep polishing the process.  Some salespeople like to use PowerPoint slides and others like to use a word document – I don't think it really matters too much.  One exception - please, please please,  don't cram all of the information which should be spread over ten slides into two or three slides and make the whole presentation a gigantic mess.  There are specialist software packages for proposals, but that strikes me as an additional expense I don't necessarily need, but there may be some value to them.   We should automate the process as much as we can so that we don't have to keep building every proposal from zero.  There will be some common features which we won't need to alter. We can build up probably 80%-90% of the content, which will become a set piece for every proposal, as we discover what works best. I hate having to send off a proposal unescorted, naked, into the world, without any protection.  “Send it to me” are nasty words, I never want to hear.  That is why in Meeting One, we set the date and time for Meeting Two, because we need to be there to walk them through that proposal.  We need to be using all of our ninja level body language reading skills to see how they react to different parts of the proposal.  Left to their own devices, they will go straight to the pricing page and decide it too expensive, because they haven't read anything in the rest of the proposal which justifies the price.  We have to be there to guide them through the value, before they get to the pricing. Take another look at the proposals you are handing over to clients.  Are the contents and presentation being maximised or have bad habits crept in and inertia is now ruling the process rather than clever thinking?

Bob Harris is the Owner of the Decorative Concrete Institute (DCI), an industry leader in decorative concrete installation, consulting, education, and training. He's also the Partner and Senior Director of Decorative Concrete Consulting for the SSI Team. Bob has been a speaker and presenter at various concrete industry events and has conducted training sessions across the globe for more than 20 years. He has produced instructional videos for notable organizations and is the author of several books, including Bob Harris' Guide to Stained Concrete Interior Floors.  Before DCI, Bob was the Director of Product Training for a large manufacturer of decorative concrete products. He also worked as the Senior Superintendent in Disney's theme parks, doing decorative, “themed” concrete work. Bob was among the first to be inducted into the Decorative Concrete Hall of Fame in 2010. In this episode… Every contractor wants to provide sustainable, high-end concrete surfaces for their clients. But as the industry changes, it can be difficult to keep up and ensure that you're implementing the best practices to create an outstanding final product.  One common challenge is the mystery of concrete mix design. Because concrete is not a one-size-fits-all practice, people have started using mix design to fit the needs of their specific project. However, because mix design involves a concoction of ingredients, it can be difficult to predict the outcome and manage the concrete accordingly. Luckily, expert Bob Harris knows what contractors should look for and how to avoid mix design mistakes. In this episode of This is Concrete, Chad Gill sits down with Bob Harris, Owner of the Decorative Concrete Institute, to get his advice on working with concrete mix design. Bob explains what polishers should look for, why you should complete tests upfront, and how to avoid messy outcomes such as concrete pitting.

I also share how these changes affect veterinary practices, what you can do to improve your targeting, how you can keep your ads from going crazy from all these changes, and some things you can think about for the growth of your marketing using Facebook and Instagram Ads. Because of the last few years of controversies with Facebook, they have been made to change their tracking and data collection thus changing how their ads ultimately work. With the newest wave of scrutiny coming from apple with their IOS 14 update of not allowing third-party pixels or cookies to be used on their users it has been impactful for the platform. By using their aggregated measurement tool Facebook now has a new way to track conversion events from ios 14 users.  Other ways you can collect conversion events and data include:  Using UTM tracking- UTM codes are a great method to use for analytics for your ads. Creating the UTM codes at the end of your URLs allows you to gather data from each platform in an easy way. Create Landing Pages - Creating landing pages for each platform and every ad. You will be able to easily see where traffic is coming from. Reminder!

Welcome back, Michael Brandwein!Your staff being able to work together may be one of the biggest keys to the success of your camp program.You can have the coolest activities and the best classes around, but if the staff running those areas don't work well with your camp counsellors, you're missing out on the full potential of those programs.It's understandable why this can be a problem. Your specialists (activity leaders, program staff, etc.) are usually older and may not have as much camp-kid-experience. Your counsellors (group leaders, unit leaders, etc.) are younger and may not understand how they can jump in and properly assist when they don't have the skills in those programs. When differing experiences and differing expectations meet, you know that it can be a recipe for trouble.It may manifest in the counsellors not taking the initiative the specialists are looking for, or the specialists treating the counsellors as a glorified babysitter. In any case, communications break down, people get bitter and it causes a big headache for Day Camp directors everywhere.However, like all staff conflict, it's often something that we can get ahead of and address in your staff training before the summer even starts!Staff conflict? Intentional training? Hyper-specific camp problems that seem unsolvable? Are you thinking about who we're thinking about?That's right! He's back, friends!
