The expected payoff occurs because the left side has
less area than the right side

76. Your Actions
• Find a mentor or partner to help guide
your journey
• Consider your social mission
• Try something small to learn faster
• Sense the complex system - Amplify
the good and dampen the negative

So I met this guy in 1985 – he was just my rock geology professor, but he is thread that runs through my life in helping me find my good work.In 2002, I helped Bernard with his first conference on engineering in developing countries – introduced me to his good work and I was sold – just like all of you This is the year I founded Rally and we learned that we would soon have a son

Social Responsible Engineering – why we are a serviceComplex world – an agile approach is required just to probe and sense the solution – Design Thinking/Lean Start-up – Empathy, PrototypingSocial Context – Web/Enterprise 2.0
2002 – Started by donating 1% of Rally to the community to later become EFCO
In 2009, Bernard and I crossed paths again at EWB USA conference and with Dave Douglas the Chief Sustainability Officer at Sun – I became fascinated with the Citizen Engineer Concept and presupposition as well as got invited to join this 10 year effort to build an Academy for Systemic Change
In 2011, Bernard and I advised the Unreasonable EIR in 2011 and mentor in 2012
October of 2012, we released RallyforImpact as a social enterprise inside of Rally Software Inc to help mobilize citizen engineers around the world. We know Why we are doing this and we are following a lean startup approach to figure out WHAT is the best thing for us to do. This trip is part of gaining that awareness.

This is not all of, what are we missing
Scientific Method starts with a Question
Then Observations and time to Ponder before we come to a hypothesis
School did not teach us about this world!With 8 Billion people on the planet – we are changing the planet!

On the left the typical civil engineer approach and on the left the agile approach.The agile approach is like design/build approaches, you build a thread, a span, a function at the time or a PROBE. Given a working thread, you can sense if it will work and create the desired outcomes in technical or social behavior.I know what you are thinking, how do you iterate on a bridge or a water system? Yes it is harder than in something like software where I come from, but I am here to tell you that it is being done and it just takes a little practice.
Making this a complex context, not just a simple or complicated contextOur 20th century solutions are the problem, now we have to change our social systems to preserve the natural systems we are accustom toWe have to start thinking like these scientists and that starts with a different kind of book
Remember, for us engineers – our schooling almost programed out of us, but there is hope
