    In the topic of change, understanding this model (http://www.stevenmsmith.com/my-articles/article/the-satir-change-model.html) has been very useful to me. In your case, the people in your new/previous teams are also going through a change process of their own.

    I look forward to continue learning from you through this blog, James. Congratulations and good luck on your new challenges!

    I've just started getting into this blog, and even though I'm a continent away, I'm pretty interested in what's unfolding here. Looking forward to learning some new things from you guys. ;)

    Dave you should apply! And to nongolos ... testing strategy is the same regardless of language and location. It just has a different accent ...

    James,

    Have a good time there at Google and maybe you can come to us (Sogeti Netherlands) in the future to talk about the innovative things you startup by google

    Quote "I am used to mind-bogglingly complex problems and comfortable with partial solutions that point toward a better but still imperfect future. "

    As a Test Manager the quote above rounds up most testing for me.

    It's about involving the developers in a journey of process improvement and working towards perfection while knowing that it may never be achieved.

    It's good to see the oldies like us (I am 56) are still valued by the best places to work. I was hired at 54 by Dell to add some good old common sense to these fast bright young guys who can't learn fast enough. BTW, I'd like to suggest you talk about test infrastructure, a topic often forgotten.
    Thanks!

    Hi James,

    Looks like you've got your work cut out for you at Google. Very interesting times ahead.

    We had been corrorsponding when you were at your previous place. It would be great to re-open that dialouge again about New Zealand and Australia.

    Look forward to hearing from you,

    Iain Jenkins

    p.s. Can only agree with your stand on Kashmir.

    What's the difference between Googler and Googlian? I just saw some people call themselves Googlian and some call themselves Googler.
