Navigating 'Engineers are from Venus, Operations are from Mars'
This event is part of the Movac Engineering Chapter, a curriculum of deep-dive workshops, online primers and large-scale 'jams' designed for Kiwi tech company growth leaders. Come and level up with globally leading operators, local stars and peers from your field!
This session will be hosted by Ben Gracewood and Paul Shingles, Movac Operating Partners.
Misunderstandings between Engineering teams and other departments - Operations, Executive Leadership and Sales - are common in many organisations. Sometimes it can feel like you’re speaking entirely different languages.
In this session, Ben & Paul will work through common points of conflict, using real examples from their experience and give you tips and tricks to navigate the weird vibes that can often arise.
We’ll cover everything from KPIs and deadlines, navigating uncertainty, learning from failure, and even try to tackle the age-old argument of which product feature we should prioritise.
Who should attend: Engineering, sales, marketing, and operations professionals from local tech start-up companies.
Times:
Workshop: 2.00 pm – 4.00 pm
