# Video: Discussing Evolutionary Value Delivery with Tom Gilb

By Roy Osherove September 14, 2012

**Historical article** · Originally published September 14, 2012; technical details may be outdated.

During JavaZone yesterday in Oslo, I got to meet with Tom Gilb and his son - Kai. I don’t know much about what they teach relating to Evolutionary Value Delivery (EVO for short) so i was intrigued to find out more. Tom was kind (well, he’s very israeli in his version of kind…) enough to speak with me for about 50 minutes about his philosophy.

It slowly made sense to me, and you can find a way to quantify and make meaning out of vague ideas you’d like to exercise. In retrospect, had I known that Tom is also [doing certifications on this matter](http://www.gilb.com/Value+Delivery+Certification), I would have had many more interesting questions to ask him relating to that (I am a sceptic about that, but it might work in this context.. maybe. what do you think?)
