Episode 4 | Special Guest - Brian Ponch Rivera - Founder AGLX Consulting | Spatial Web AI Podcast
NEW EPISODE: Special Guest - Brian "Ponch"
Rivera - Founder, AGLX Consulting, Creator of The Flow System, and Co-Host of
the No Way Out Podcast
What is Active Inference AI? What is the Free Energy Principle
(FEP)? And what do they have to do with agility, corporate leadership, and The
Flow System? – Find out in this episode of the Spatial Web AI Podcast by Denise
Holt.
A
former navy pilot, Brian discusses his work in the agile community. He explains
that he started a consulting firm, AGLX, to improve Scrum and Agile practices.
He also introduces his concept of the Flow System, which focuses on team
interactions and is influenced by complexity theory and distributed leadership.
Brian talks about his TED Talk in Budapest on design for flow and mentions the
loss of Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, who coined the idea of flow from psychological
flow. He describes how AGLX has expanded its focus beyond Agile and Scrum to
include topics such as safety, innovation, artificial intelligence, psychedelic
therapy, and fifth-generation warfare. Brian also discusses his podcast, No Way
Out, centered around John Boyd's work on the OODA Loop and attracting guests
from various disciplines. Denise asks Brian about the flow system's development
and its connection to complex adaptive systems thinking. They talk about how
interactions matter more than frameworks in creating agility within
organizations. Brian emphasizes understanding one's external environment to
develop effective strategies through an internal model or map. This aligns with
concepts like active inference principles discussed in recent readings related
to AI, autism research, psychedelics research, category theory, etc., which
have connections with Boyd's OODA Loop framework.
