Do you know a story from “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People” about a man who tries to saw down a tree?
He was working hard for hours but without success. And it was because he did not take a break to sharpen a saw.
What was his reasoning?
“I don’t have time to sharpen the saw. I am too busy sawing.”
How is this story connected with a daily life of BPM practitioners?
If we allow ourselves to be too busy to sharpen our skills and learn new things all our hard work will be for nothing.
You may say: I know I should learn, but I don’t have the time.
And this is where podcasts come handy.
My daily commute is 2*25 minutes. For you, it is probably even longer.
And this time is enough for two or more podcast episodes.
Below you can find a list of podcasts that I find useful for BPM practitioners.
Not all are directly about BPM. But all are great sources of inspiration. Give them a try and you will start your day with new ideas.
Podcasts come and go. So, to show you only the active ones I used 2 criteria:
a) More than 5 episodes
b) Latest one from 2017.
