6th October: James Priest and Liliana David - "SOCIOCRACY 3.0" [ENG]

Hi!

With a new month, comes a new meet up. We would like to invite you to a talk by James Priest and Liliana David on Sociocracy 3.0. Please note different location than usual (details available below).


SOCIOCRACY 3.0 (S3) - EMPOWERING CONSCIOUS COLLABORATION, FOR HAPPY, MORE EFFECTIVE ORGANIZATIONS

Summary: 
Discover how Sociocracy 3.0 patterns help teams and organizations to navigate complexity, deliver maximal value and maintain or grow agility throughout the entire system.

Agile and Lean have delivered fantastic results for improving flow of value to customers, but sooner or later agile teams bump into limitations in the surrounding organization.

This session explores the S3 framework and its menu of actionable patterns that people collaborating together can use to more effectively benefit from agile principles at scale, regardless of their chosen approach to product development and service delivery.

S3 builds on the foundations of classic sociocracy, radically applying lean and agile principles to dynamically steer and evolve organization.

During this session you will:
  • Learn what S3 is,
  • Understand the relevance of its optional framework of patterns for organizations wishing to grow and maintain resilience, tap into collective intelligence and improve value delivery,
  • Recognize how pulling in S3 patterns can facilitate the evolution of people’s ability to effectively collaborate with others locally and at scale,
  • Understand the importance of "invitation, respect and flexibility" as powerful and perhaps essential ingredients in any successful organizational change initiative.

    19 of September: Wojciech Burkot - "Getting out of a software monolith" [ENG]

    We are very pleased to invite you to another meet up in September! This time we will welcome Wojtek Burkot on stage :)

    Wojciech Burkot - "Getting out of a software monolith"

    Abstract:
    Wojtek will talk about getting out of a software monolith: old and ugly but bread bringer nevertheless. A monolith, written by people no longer around, or the ones pretending they had nothing to do with its creation, is a side effect of an early success of product organization. Regretfully, this success usually predates proper organization structure and all the attempts at changing the monolith face inevitable effects of Conway’s law “The organization of the software and the organization of the software team will be congruent”.
    The talk will be an attempt at synthesis, as we all are bored to death by analytical case studies, still some examples will be provided, without naming the names.

    About our speaker:
    Wojtek Burkot is one of the most wanted professionals in Polish IT world. During last years he shared his knowledge and experience supporting Motorola, built Cracow's Google engineering team and played a CTO role for Allegro Group. Wojtek worked as a researcher in CERN, holds a PhD in nuclear physics and spent a couple of years educating future IT psofessionals at AGH University of Science and Technology and Jagiellonian University.


    Agenda: 
    Let's meet at 7 pm and start the talk at 7:10 pm. 
    Networking and discussions are welcomed after the presentation :)

    When: 19th of September 2016
    Where: Klub RE, Świętego Krzyża 4, Kraków (http://www.klubre.pl/kontakt.htm)
