Over the past 22 years, I’ve had the privilege of running multiple blog sites, each dedicated to topics I’m passionate about—agile, new ways of work, product management, program and portfolio leadership, and business agility. These sites (including agileartisan.uk, leanagileleader.co, and ppmpractitioner.com), have served as platforms to share insights, engage with a global audience, and explore the evolving landscapes of my interests.
But as the years have passed, I’ve realized that maintaining multiple sites has become less about focus and more about fragmentation. That’s why I’m bringing everything together under one roof: neilwalker.net.
Why Consolidate?
- Unified Vision and Voice:
Each of these areas—agile, agility, product, portfolio, and other business topics—is interconnected. By combining them, I can present a holistic perspective that reflects the multidisciplinary nature of modern organizations. - Easier Navigation:
For you, the reader, this means a single destination to explore all my content. Whether you’re looking for insights on agile transformations or practical tips on product leadership, you’ll find it all in one place. - Streamlined Updates:
Managing multiple platforms has sometimes meant slower updates and less engagement. Consolidating allows me to focus my energy on creating and curating content that truly adds value. - A Changing Digital Landscape:
The decision to consolidate was finalized when Elon Musk claimed his role as the owner of Twitter, following his $44 billion acquisition of the platform. This shift in the digital world signaled an opportunity for me to rethink my own online presence (and ditch the linked Twitter profiles). With platforms evolving rapidly and uncertainty about the role social media will play in the future, consolidating my content into a space I fully control felt like the right move. - Personal Brand Alignment:
As my career and perspectives have evolved, so has my personal brand. neilwalker.net represents the culmination of over 30-years of experience, learning, and growth, serving as a central hub for my thoughts and contributions.
What Will I Still Be Covering?
While the format may be changing, the core content themes remain:
- Agile and Business Agility:
Exploring the past, present, and future of agile practices, including their application beyond IT, and sharing insights into fostering business agility. - Product Leadership:
How to lead in a product-driven world, with practical advice on prioritization, stakeholder alignment, and creating value. - Portfolio Leadership:
Balancing strategic and tactical delivery in complex environments, with a focus on simplicity and outcomes. - Systems Thinking and Complexity:
Tools and techniques for navigating uncertainty and designing impactful organizational interventions. - Case Studies and Real-World Stories:
Drawing from decades of experience across industries, I’ll continue sharing the lessons I’ve learned and the challenges I’ve overcome.
Looking Forward
Consolidating my content is not just a logistical decision—it’s a strategic one. It’s about creating a richer, more engaging experience for you while allowing me to explore these topics in greater depth. I hope neilwalker.net becomes a space where we can continue conversations, challenge ideas, and inspire change.
Thank you for being part of this journey. If there are specific topics you’d like me to cover or questions you’d like answered, feel free to reach out. Let’s keep learning and growing together.
Looking forward to continued engagement on neilwalker.net!
