It’s time to pay off your management debt
In this session, we'll delve into management debt – the collection of inefficiencies, unresolved issues, and missed opportunities in how we manage teams. Just like its technical counterpart, management debt accumulates, quietly impacting the organization over time.

Developing commercial awareness to drive business outcomes
This talk is designed to help you become an effective business leader as well as an effective technical leader.

Featuring:
Culture, Clarity, Velocity
Major changes to how our organizations work, from reorgs to strategy shifts to new teams, often expose growth areas in our organizational culture. Yet soon after such a change, we frequently see teams make a mad dash towards velocity improvements, skipping over the fundamental work of investing in the culture necessary to support the change. This can create a nearly invisible impediment to the velocity we're striving to attain. However, there are also situations where culture can ensure clarity and drive sustainable velocity, where your organization's culture becomes a force multiplier for your change work. How can leaders examine proposed changes and prepare their teams to move from a culture that impedes progress to one that enables strategic change?
Featuring:
Transitioning from engineering leader to business executive
This talk addresses the gap in information around moving from operational roles like Director or VP to executive roles such as CTO or CIO. It will explore which managerial skills support executive success, potential pitfalls, and how to balance operational versus strategic concerns. Additionally, it will provide a roadmap for navigating this transition, including advice on prioritizing time with your team, peers, bosses, and supervisory board.
