In this podcast, recorded at the Agile on the Beach New Zealand conference, Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods, spoke to Lynne Cazaly about the dangers of perfectionism and using visual tools to make sense of information and ideas.

Why listen to this podcast:

• “Ish” has come to mean approximately or good enough
• Perfectionism is the opposite of “ish” and is dangerous
• We often overcomplicate things and spend inordinate amounts of time trying to achieve a standard that is not necessary
• Perfectionism is a serious problem today and is causing personal and social harm
• Sensemaking as a way of understanding the deeper meaning of what is being talked about or expressed
