Summary
What if one of the problems in government is that we keep using the wrong pattern for the work in front of us? In this conversation, I sit down with Suhit Anantula to explore his framework of Lines, Loops, and Vibes. Vibes are about instinct, intuition, and sensing what is emerging. Loops are about iteration, experimentation, feedback, and learning by doing. Lines are about structure, process, and scaling what has become clear. The fun part is applying this to government. When should public servants trust a vibe? When does a problem need a loop? And when is it finally ready to become a line? We also wander into reflexes, innovation, public service learning, Peter Drucker, and the strange joy of just jamming on ideas with someone who is thinking deeply about how organizations actually work. Curious to hear what you think: where is government stuck in a line when it probably needs a loop?
