Recent research summarised in the book Accelerate points to a set of practices that lead to high software development organization performance.

Simultaneously, research from the Santa Fe Institute on complex adaptive systems over the last 20 years seems to point to a grand unified theory of organizational design and software architecture.

"So have we cracked it? Do we now have the answer to the question: how do we create and scale high performing software and organizations?"

In this talk, James explores this research and takes a look at the surprising links between organizations, microservices, elephants and cities.
