You can arrive any time during registration. This is a chance for attendees to check in, grab a drink, and chat. The event will formally start at 18:30.
This talk focusses on the impact of some seemingly good intentions.
There are examples of what can happen when the team is given feedback of ‘is this the best we can do?’ and another example of when in the land of experimentation or ideation, how using the phrase of ‘there are no bad ideas’ can bring in bias and cause the team to be impassioned to the point of not accepting feedback or other ideas.
In this session, Rebecca will share lessons from the world of product management, including stakeholder approaches that have worked well, those that haven’t, and what she’s learned along the way. Expect practical tips, real-world examples, and ideas you can apply to your own stakeholder challenges.
What is identity, the importance of identity access management and how we can protect it.
Leadership is a buzz word that is brandished by all managers. But, what does a good one look like? Let’s look at history to get a clue. From Arctic exploration to the Punic war.
