Scaling Tech Podcast Ep 60: Evidence-Driven Engineering with David Bland 📱

Any technologist will be familiar with projects where the engineering team is asked to deliver on a long backlog of features, with unclear customer or business value. Instead, how can engineering teams use an evidence driven approach to support the business in building truly valuable applications?

In this live episode of the Scaling Tech Podcast, we speak with David Bland, co-author of the widely acclaimed book "Testing Business Ideas" (Wiley). Co-authored with Alexander Osterwalder, the book has sold over 100,000 copies in 20+ languages, and is widely used by executives, entrepreneurs, and innovation leaders worldwide.

David will share with us how engineering leaders can help their companies to "test strategy against reality." We'll discuss how to surface hidden risks in growth strategies and issue evidence based verdicts, thereby protecting your company from wasting millions on bets that won’t scale, and how to also create millions more in value by proving which ideas drive growth.

David is a sought-after keynote speaker and educator, having lectured at Stanford, Harvard, Yale, and other leading institutions while advising Fortune 500 companies on embedding disciplined, scalable decision-making into their growth practices. We're excited to have him join us on the Scaling Tech Podcast so be sure to join us live and ask David your questions about evidence-driven engineering!
