The official blog of Adam Mattis
Welcome to the official blog of Adam Mattis. Through the years I have learned a lot, broken even more, gained insight to the world, and have built and tested some pretty cool things. This blog serves as a consolidation of those experiences for your enjoyment, enlightenment, and for my own record. Enjoy!
Adam Mattis – Hazard Ground Podcast
I don’t often talk about my military experience, but when my buddy Mark Zinno asked me to jump on his podcast, I couldn’t say no. I hope you enjoy this episode of Hazard Ground.
Employing Veterans (Not every day is an easy day.)
Yesterday, was sitting with my client I heard: “Adam, are you ok?”
We have outgrown Agile (long live Agility.)
The days of Agile purists quoting the signatories words and intent are largely behind us. It is not that the perspectives are less relevant, it is that the perspective and problem have changed. It is no longer just technology which has been disrupted, it is quite literally every sector of business in the world.
Innovation w/ Joe Vallone

Put me in, COACH.
We are all sure to understand the impact of coaching. What if I told you that YOU needed a coach?
A Case for Change Management
If you are honest with yourself, yes YOU sitting there in the bathroom on on your phone, and YOU sitting there at your desk reading this post in a partially minimized browser, YOU are bad at change.
What I Read in 2018.
The question I am most often asked: “..what books do you recommend?” The answer is nearly endless.
Does your organization lack vision? If so, it may be time to quit.
The big domestic automakers are in many ways operating under the same philosophy which tanked Sears and is scuttling GE: they felt immune to digital disruption, their products went stale, and their customers fired them.
BUREAUCRACY: Time of Death, 2018.
The model for modern business management was established more than 200 years ago and solidified by a company who was recently delisted from Dow Jones. It’s time for a new approach to business, and Haier may be on to something.
