People, get ready: Investing in collegial relationships to build better commercial awareness
Having commercial impact at a senior leadership level means looking beyond just engineering and at the whole organisation. Organisations are complex and organic, however, and for all the experience we do have, there’s plenty we’ve missed out on. So, how do we work out what perspectives we’re missing?
Featuring:
Strengthening company alignment
As a senior leader, you are often the in-between person who is matching the business needs, product execution and the team’s talent. That work requires you to communicate proficiently to ensure everyone understands the needs and the status of progress. In this talk, we’ll cover the basic communication paths to be successful as a senior engineering leader and dive into two of the most difficult parts of it: forward planning and driving accountability in your teams.
Featuring:
Building an effective technical strategy
There are many things your team could do over the next year or two. How do you decide which of them to prioritize? Documenting your strategy is important, but it's only the first step. You need to communicate it effectively so that people can use it to make decisions. And finally, you need to track your progress: are you delivering what you need to? Is the strategy still the right one?
