J**oin us for a FREE online workshop featuring [StrongSuits](https://strongsuits.com/about-strongsuits/what-is-strongsuits/),** a strengths based team and personal development tool. This tool is designed to help you discover your strengths and understand their impact on how you communicate and collaborate with your team.

October is ADHD Awareness Month and the theme is "Awareness is Key." Being neurodivergent or an ADHD-er doesn’t end after the awareness month so we are keeping the momentum and increasing the awareness. In this session you will gain a better understanding of ADHD and the importance of a focus on strengths.

**We welcome all.** This workshop is open to both new and returning participants and requires no prior experience.
StrongSuits is grounded in four key insights from modern psychology:

* People perform best when they focus on their strengths.
* How we perform is driven by our mindset (the stories we tell ourselves.)
* Diversity makes teams stronger.
* People interact and communicate in different ways.

This workshop offers valuable insights for team members, coaches, facilitators, managers, and leaders, helping them understand their own strengths and limitations as well as those of their teammates. Special emphasis will be placed on unlocking the potential of ADHD strengths and neurodiverse teams. Learn how to maximise the benefits of cognitive diversity within your team!

Unlocking Your Strengths with StrongSuits

Online event

What happens when the marketing teams and the digital tech teams communicate, collaborate and are fully connected around their purpose? What happens if they don’t and stay at “briefing-arms-length” of each other?

Our experience is that full connection and collaboration between marketing and tech is rare, and the more common scenario is a bit of an ‘us’ and ‘them’ situation; where people are divided by very different perspectives and perhaps even differing language. As a result, opportunities are missed, progress becomes slower, and the creative ideas that can emerge from diverse perspectives are lost.

In this event, a career marketer meets a business-savvy tech native to raise and discuss some contentious issues.

* Is the digital tech team a service or a partner to the marketing team?
* What happens when marketing comes up with a new campaign that cannot be delivered with existing capabilities?
* A core rule for marcomms is to talk in the tone and language of our audience – Do we apply that to our internal team interactions?
* How can the tech team benefit from marketers' expertise?
* How can the marketing team benefit from digital tech expertise?
* Would it be so crazy to bring both competencies into the same team?

With these questions and more at the heart of our discussion, we’ll dig deep into the issues and ask: ‘What are the next steps to fulfil the potential of the marketing & technology relationship?’

Join us to be part of what promises to be a lively discussion, full of insights and actionable experiments leading to a future full of new possibilities.

Are Marketing and Digital fully Aligned and On-Target? 

Technical debt in digital and service businesses seems to be the problem that does not go away and keeps getting bigger, slowly paralysing organisations. When time is constrained, and most of it is consumed by failure demand and BAU activities that take twice as long as they should, little is left to build the future. Time for radical change, time for Dantotsu!!
Dantotsu is a method developed by Toyota for achieving radical quality improvements and offers a fresh perspective on how to break free from this cycle by relentlessly focusing on eliminating defects and optimising practices.

In this session, we’ll dive into the principles of Dantotsu and how they can be applied to overcome the common challenge of quality in Tech product organisations. Fabrice will share first-hand experience of how Theodo uses Dantotsu in support of their clients’ success.

We will discuss practical steps to create a radical quality culture at team-level, scale it across the organisation, and ensure that quality becomes a driving force for growth of both the people and the business. By learning how to create a culture of continuous, radical improvement, you can set your organisation on a path to sustainable excellence.

This meetup is ideal for both business and technology leaders, as well as practitioners, who are looking to drive substantial and meaningful quality improvements in their organisations. Whether you are struggling with tech debt or simply looking to build-in quality, this session will provide valuable insights and actionable strategies. Join us to learn, share, and connect with others and identify new possibilities for your situation.

This event will be hosted and facilitated by Philippe Guenet.

LeanTech Series: Attack your tech debt with radical quality using Dantotsu

This is the last meetup in the LeanTech series. We will wrap the series with a focus on Leadership. Leadership and change resistance have often been mentioned as challenges to progress digital and Agile transformations.

Drawing from the principles outlined in the *LeanTech Manifesto*, and in the presence of Fabrice Bernhard, one of its co-authors, we will dive more into the traits of Lean leadership and the application of such leadership in the world of tech, digital and Agile.

There are many commonalities and considerably more history of practices to draw from and learn. We will focus on value delivery, continuous improvement, and customer-centricity, central to Lean Thinking. We will discuss the core qualities that define a LeanTech leader, such as fostering a culture of experimentation, empowering teams, and aligning strategy with operational excellence. These traits are essential for driving innovation and maintaining agility in a competitive landscape.

Whether you're a business leader, a technology executive, or part of an agile team, this meetup will provide valuable insights on how to develop and strengthen your leadership skills to drive success in the digital tech world. Don’t miss the opportunity to learn from the experiences of LeanTech leaders.

This meetup will be co-facilitated by Fabrice Bernhard and Philippe Guenet
