Driving a High Performance Culture
Formula 1 is a high performance sport, but for the technology companies which compete to create the fastest cars in the world there is a dual requirement - to combine the best in people in technology in a way that unlocks new levels of performance.

SISU, czyli jak wzmocnić hart ducha i jak stawiać czoła wyzwaniom w zwariowanych czasach?
Sisu to unikalne, fińskie słowo, oznaczające odporność psychiczną i hart ducha, ale również orientację na działanie i determinację w dążeniu do określonego celu pomimo przeciwności losu. To, do czego my potrzebujemy kilkunastu (jakże ważnych!) słów, Finowie zmieścili w dwóch prostych sylabach. W zwariowanym, niepewnym otoczeniu biznesowym, w obliczu recesji oraz niespotykanej od 100 lat ogólnoświatowej pandemii, sisu wyrasta na kluczową kompetencję XXI wieku.[...] Topic: #Professional Growth

With the advent of Artificial Intelligence, we can see a new era of production and work on the horizon. The hope is that we will be able to get machines to do the things we were never good at, the ones that require physical strength, speed, weather resistance or are super monotonous. And then we could do the things we are uniquely good at. The human stuff. Creating meaning. Building Connections. Curiosity, reflection, art, creativity.

The Art of Writing Headlines
You know you understand your story only if you can tell it keeping it simple, clear and short. What if “short” means seven words? Well, then you might use the skill of writing headlines. They need to be brief and to the point. Informative and catchy. Exciting but not misleading. Create a headline and sell and tell your story with a little help from the former BBC Online journalist, now InterComm’s executive communication consultant Rafał Motriuk.

Human centric learning experience design
To lead and manage is essentially to help others learn and grow within the context of work. Outsourcing learning into the training room, conference hall or brown-bag lunch session is, while attractive, shortsighted. Managers and leaders teach, if they want to or not. They teach by how they act around others. They teach by how they communicate, by how they relate to their team, and by the way they accompany the processes of doing the work.[...]

Driving a High Performance Culture
Keynote
Formula 1 is a high performance sport, but for the technology companies which compete to create the fastest cars in the world there is a dual requirement – to combine the best in people in technology in a way that unlocks new levels of performance. The leadership of Formula 1 teams recognise that technology alone is not the answer – this simply provides a suite of tools which enable a group of people to deliver success and drive innovation. The story of digital transformation in this sport comes down to a desire to guarantee success – a data driven environment in which high quality data is supplied – often in real time – in order for a team to improve decision making and accurately predict outcomes. In driving a high performance team the way in which data is retrieved, stored, secured, managed and accessed is critical as it is information which fuels the ability of top teams to effectively manage risk, ensure sustained performance and unlock competitive advantage. In achieving this, the technology helps human teams to perform at a level which was previously unimagined.

Remote, globally spread, multicultural team spirit – Myth or reality
Case study
Building and managing remote teams might be challenging and not always work. Without a real team spirit, no team will perform at their best. Is it even possible to build a team spirit between remote, globally spread, multicultural group of contractors? In this session, I will focus on facts and myths about remote teams. I’ll present best practices about building and managing remote teams basing on success and failure stories. We’ll also try to answer a question … Is it really that different from a typical stationary team?

Data-oriented team leading: Tracking skills and behaviours
Case study
We can do better than just “line manager to employee” feedback. A carefully made survey with a bit of data analysis can generate surprising personal feedback reports and also increase the team’s awareness. I am sharing my experience, toolset and insights after doing this in practice. By looking from multiple perspectives, we tend to get more robust and complete understandings. We can apply this principle when leading a team. In fact, 360-degree or multi-rater feedback is a well known approach, but its effectiveness totally depends on how well it is tailored to the team and the organisation. We discuss here concrete details on how to implement a similar approach in a software development team, making use of data analysis and visualisation. In the end, both leader and team members get valuable insights to improve their work and daily life.

Transformation into Agile Organization at Scale
Case study
An agile IT department is not only a business expectation but also an essential criterium for efficiency. While this is a relatively simple task for small businesses, it can be much more difficult in large corporations. IT managers who want to really improve their organization must find answers to a number of questions. What’s the required mindset to successfully perform agile organization transformation? How to improve the efficiency of IT organizations while not creating chaos? How to involve employees in the decision-making process so that they feel co-responsible for the result? During my presentation, I will share my experiences and specific examples that address those questions.

Kręta droga do ścieżek kariery
Case study
O wypracowywaniu ścieżek kariery z perspektywy HR i managera IT Czy managerowie i specjaliści IT podobnie myślą o rozwoju? Jakie kompetencje są kluczowe? Jak je zmierzyć? I jak uwzględnić wartości firmy w systemie oceny. To tylko niektóre z wyzwań, z którymi zmierzyłyśmy się podczas wypracowywania nowej struktury stanowisk IT w Ringier Axel Springer Polska. W naszej prezentacji opowiemy m.in. o tym jak udało się zaangażować w zmianę naszych inżynierów i co z tego wynikło, o postrzeganiu przez inżynierów kluczowych kompetencji we współczesnym świecie IT oraz o tym, czy perspektywy specjalistów i managerów IT połączyły się w tym projekcie, czy wręcz przeciwnie.

Fix Workplaces. Not Women
Panel discussion
Workplaces do not work for everyone in the same way as they were never designed for difference. They were designed for an ideal worker to succeed. The more you differ from the ideal the more barriers you are going to face. Let’s try to unpack the message and find out what holds women back…

The Art of Writing Headlines
Workshop
You know you understand your story only if you can tell it keeping it simple, clear and short. What if “short” means seven words? Well, then you might use the skill of writing headlines. They need to be brief and to the point. Informative and catchy. Exciting but not misleading. Create a headline and sell and tell your story with a little help from the former BBC Online journalist, now InterComm’s executive communication consultant Rafał Motriuk. With your headline and your story will you be able to leave your audiences hungry for more?

Human centric learning experience design
Gear up Workshops
To lead and manage is essentially to help others learn and grow within the context of work. Outsourcing learning into the training room, conference hall or brown-bag lunch session is, while attractive, shortsighted. Managers and leaders teach, if they want to or not. They teach by how they act around others. They teach by how they communicate, by how they relate to their team, and by the way they accompany the processes of doing the work. In this workshop, Bastian Küntzel will introduce participants to the highly acclaimed learning experience design framework called The Learner’s Journey. If your job involves helping others learn (and every job does) you do not want to miss this.
