⭐ I've always been a firm believer in the power of collaboration and standing stronger together. We all face obstacles along the way, no matter our expertise, and linking up with fellow tech enthusiasts is always a game-changer. Entrepreneurs have been swapping ideas, lending a hand, and tackling challenges together for ages, why shouldn't the tech community thrive on this too? 🚀 Here's the plan: let's kickstart the conversation on creating a dedicated community in which tech leaders can brainstorm, share insights and nerd out together. Picture it: inspiring convos, brainstorms that turn into game-changing projects, and some heated discussions over dinner. 🙌 I'm excited to hear your thoughts on making this community a total success. Together, we can shape it into something special and create stronger connections in the ever-evolving tech world!

Great attendance for this event last week - place was packed! Thanks to Propel Ventures and SustainRecruit for organising - great location too.   Some good conversation and insights on product and tech working together - why it's important and the benefit it has.   Would be great to keep the discussion going on how to get that relationship started well, and then how to scale it. I think Grant was trying to poke at this a few times as the discussion focused more on pros and cons than the how. Also - what about the rest of the org?   I think it's important to foster great partnerships across the whole of org, not only product/tech. That might start with product and tech, and starts top down, but a business needs to build a steady aligned 'heartbeat' across all divisions for best success. Remember too - conflict/friction can be good, combat is not.   To get started this has to start top down - every org has different titles, but to keep it generic… The CTO and CPO need to be partners collaborating regularly, disagree behind closed doors, but a united front outside - set the example for how the teams should work together. Work is then needed to transfer this same relationship model to Heads of Tech/Eng and Product, then Engineering/Delivery Manager and Product Manager, and so on. Partnerships are the goal at all levels - if there's negative conflict it needs to be addressed fast, act fast to coach/mentor/reassign (or rehire).   Starting with Tech/Product is probably good as that's likely a large portion of your org, but this quickly needs to expand to include Operations, Support, Security, Marketing, Sales, etc to ensure there aren't conflicting division priorities being missed, or causing misalignment. Everyone needs to work together. Everyone needs to have a say in priorities. Everyone needs to be across dependencies and potential priority clashes.   To scale, these relationship elements need to be systemic - part of your processes, knowledge base, and induction training. Your processes should require participation, require inclusivity for prioritisation/planning, etc. Your processes should make it easy for people to partner the way the business needs, and hard for groups to accidentally (or intentionally) go off course - regular planning, commitment, showcases, reviews, etc across the whole of business.   I haven't done the topics justice here - but I hope you get the drift…   #tinyleadership #leadership #techleaders #TechAndProduct #technology #product #startups #strategy
