Welcome to the Software Process and Measurement Cast 73!In the SPaMCAST 73 I interviewed David Bovis.  David and I discussed the psychology of change.  Have you ever wondered why some people are better at making change happen?  I believe it boils down to two related factors.  The first is salesman ship and the second is an understanding of psychology.  Both topic are highly related.  Since we are all change agents this is an incredibly important interview.As an independent service provider David has functioned as a Design consultant and project manager for tooling & components sourced from China and as a Lean development Consultant. David is now delivery Director for PCC.Interested in addressing the sustainability issues surrounding organizational change, since 2001 David has studied Theology, Philosophy and Psychology, recognizing organizations succeed for the same reasons families do – the psychological quality of relationship between people. David’s specialist area is now the ‘psychology of organizational change and culture development’ in support of Lean (TPS) and systems thinking principles. Inverting the standard approach to Lean development, proven to be largely unsustainable over the last 35years, David regularly challenges the strategic setting of measures, to address the detrimental impact assumptions, from standard accounting practice, have on behaviors.

Customer satisfaction is a messy mix of expectations, experiences, and perceptions - with maybe a hint of functionality.
