Topic Focus: Retrospectives & Innovation
How do we make an organization have less waste, debt, inconsistency, & unpredictability so that it is efficient, productive, predictable & cost effective? My career has given me insights into how teams are functioning, what ails them, & what makes them tick. My ability to see teams in their current state, lets me understand how they got there & where they want to go.
I understand that technology risk is the least of risks in a technology company. Together we will look at how just connecting as individuals through little team exercises can uncover items that can bring organizations together with the with the same goals. To achieve big things.
