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.

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. Leaders and managers are generally not trained to amplify the humanity of the people they lead. In fact, many have been trained through school, university, at work while being managed, and now in their praxis to do just the opposite. It is in the messy humanness that our future lies. The stakes are high, it’s going to be interesting.

How not to get lost? ..and then, when you finally achieve your long-awaited goal and you become a leader, suddenly you realize that your road has just begun… What then? Those any many other questions will be answered during a speech, where I will share some stories (also personal) of the bumpy road towards leadership.

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.

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.

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.
