A few months ago we had an initial look at how to manage and implement change in our conversation with Caspar Jans (in Episode 16) and we are continuing that series with an excellent conversation with Wings Liang about Quality Excellence and how organizations need to “shift left” and can gain competitive advantage by changing their perspective.

One of the biggest problems of architecture groups was (is?) that they are doing good work, but that will not be recognized by others.
