API-soup into API platform - Conversation with Jabe Bloom - part 2
We continue with our conversation with Jabe Bloom. In this second episode we talk about how organizational design is still stuck in organizational engineering, how to get beyond that, and how we have to rethink our understanding of roles. Jabe explains Alicia Juarrero’s term or neurological recursion using high-school cliques, how do complex systems stabilize towards hetearchies of mediated interactions between co-existing hierarchies within the organization, and finally how this all informs creating APIs that enable the emergence of higher level constructs. Jabe currently works as a Senior Director in the Global Transformation Office at RedHat. Jabe has been transforming and researching the organizational dynamics and interactions of management, design, development, and operational excellence for over twenty years as an executive, academic and consultant. Jabe is also in the final stages of writing his PhD dissertation at Carnegie Mellon in transition design.
Complexity is a pharmakon - Conversation with Jabe Bloom - part 1

What do you need to go along with a decision? Conversation with Kenny Baas-Schwegler - part 2
In the 2nd part of our conversation with Kenny Baas-Schwegler (Strategic software delivery consultant and Domain-Driven Design expert, Xebia) we discussed why most organizational changes don't work, and what are the four ways of Deep Democracy that can help move into a decision making.
It’s always important to ask: “What do you need to go along with this decision?” And it needs to be communicated what decision was made.
Hosts are Kristof Van Tomme (CEO & Co-founder, Pronovix), and Marc Burgauer (Principal Consultant and Co-founder at Contextualise).
Create fluidity and get the conflicts out! Conversation with Kenny Baas-Schwegler - part 1
We had a conversation with Kenny Baas-Schwegler (from Xebia), who is a strategic software delivery consultant and software architect with a focus on socio-technical systems. With his guidance, we deep-dived into Domain-Driven Design (DDD) and Deep Democracy. How can fluidity and upfront communication help to create a shared language and understand the other’s needs? How does this help an organization to move forward with its strategy?
With collaborative modelling (like eventstorming) teams can experience the complexity within their organization. From there, it is possible to create a structure, but keep in mind that the structures are continuously evolving, they are not static.
Hosts are Kristof Van Tomme (CEO & Co-founder, Pronovix), and Marc Burgauer (Principal Consultant and Co-founder at Contextualise).

Show me your change process! Conversation with Matthew Reinbold - part 2
In part 2 of our conversation with Matthew Reinbold, Digital Engagement Lead at Concentrix Catalyst API Practice group, we discuss how governance should drive change towards the desired behaviors, and why governance needs to have "power with" (not "power over") for sustainable change. It is a grave mistake to assume that all of digital transformation is programmatic: it is lines of communication that are now being rewired within the organization that are subsequently creating brand new interaction patterns. We agree on hoping the pendulum is moving back toward an idea that the sum is greater than the parts.

Show me your change process! Conversation with Matthew Reinbold - part 1
We got into a long conversation with Matthew Reinbold, Digital Engagement Lead at Concentrix Catalyst API Practice group, about how to get the outcomes you want from a transformation effort. APIs enable change, but they need to be accompanied by governance that drives the desired behaviors. Emergent behavior is essential, but it also crashed the stock market. We converse about coherence versus consistence–through salt and pepper–, and what about that alignment?

Opening episode: APIs and Deliberate Complexity
If you've ever wondered how APIs change organizations, our communities and our society, look no further, this is the podcast you've been searching for.
How we transform organizations is a complex problem. We need to explain emergence, and create the conditions that makes it much more likely for certain things to happen. Thinking that you can just import somebody else's model is, from a complexity perspective, fraught with difficulties that are hard to anticipate.
Discover together with us how APIs can help organizations to become more deliberate about their inherent complexity. Expect deep conversations with really smart guests, and discussions covering technological, sociological, and philosophical topics in the field of APIs, Platforms, Ecosystems, and complexity in general.
Hosts are Kristof Van Tomme (CEO & Co-founder, Pronovix), and Marc Burgauer (Principal Consultant and Co-founder at Contextualise).

Creating More Resilient Systems: an Introduction to Affordances -- Interview with Micheal Hibay, pt 1
Michael Hibay is an API evangelist, architect and CTO at Vesti. He helps organizations to establish, evolve and mature their API strategies.
What’s the difference between an API catalogue and an affordance catalogue? What are affordances and how do they define the usability of a system? Why are affordances similar to languages?
The interview got split into 2 episodes. In this first episode, Michael argued that versionless APIs built through an affordance approach, introduce new capabilities without causing breaking changes. An affordance approach in API design also saves money by avoiding the need for new iterations and API versions.
The host is Kristof Van Tomme.

Retrospective with Mark Winberry
In this episode Mark and Kristof did a retrospective discussion on the past episodes and Mark said farewell to the listeners as he will no longer co-host the podcast.
API resilience started in 2020 June to explore how companies can become more resilient and create business value by investing in their API programs, even in such unprecedented times as the pandemia. In the past 24 episodes API team leads and experts shared their growth stories and views on how APIs will shape the future -- both in their organizations and on a more theoretical, “API philosophical” level.
Tune in and listen to Mark’s and Kristof’s digest on some of the most exciting takeaways from the one year history of API Resilience podcast.
“People are not looking for APIs but capabilities” - Mehdi Medajoui (API Days, gdpr.dev) in Episode 09 and Episode 10
“Business developers are developers too” - Katrien Van Gijsel (KBC Bank & Verzekering) in Episode 14
“Communities are everywhere, and now can be everywhere, more so than ever” - Lorna Jane Mitchell on the evolving role of developer advocacy in Episode 06
“The affordance exists between the object and the person. The affordance is not intrinsic in the object” - Mike Amundsen in Episode 13
Transition from code-first to design-first: growing the API program at SAS
SAS is a leading business analytics software company, and also the largest independent vendor in the business intelligence market.
In this episode Jeannie Hawrysz (Lead API Architect and Manager of API and Developer Program Enablement) talked about their team efforts to set new standards for their API program during the time of pandemia.
She explained how they organized internal workshops with their UX/design and product management teams to help outline a design-first based workflow. These efforts eventually led to an internal “cultural revolution” and concluded in an API lifecycle that is driven by API governance principles and a product mindset.
In the podcast Jeannie talked about the challenges of simultaneously catering to diverse personas like data scientists and business decision makers. She also described why and how they started to redesign SAS' developer portal and how low- and no-code solutions might shape their API program in the future.
