BUSINESS AGILITY

“Business Agility – yes it is happening outside of IT and this is how you can help bring along your business partners”.

Over the years, Agile has become viewed as a process that technology teams use to deliver value. Agile values and principles have been adopted by many technical teams to improve the flow and quality of their delivery. The widespread adoption of Agile in the Information Technology space may lead some to believe that it is an “IT thing”.

In recent years the conversation regarding Agile has been reshaped to focus on how Agile is in fact, not just an “IT thing”, but a way to achieve organizational goals in an accelerated way and to do so with responsiveness and flexibility. Many organizations are expanding their thinking from Agile being about process to applying Agile principles and values to the way they run their business, not just within the technology space.

THRIVING IN CHAOS

AvidXchange is teaming up with OneTeam Leadership and Carolina Women in Tech to host an interactive roundtable focused on identifying and developing your leadership skills in times of uncertainty and unrest.

Many successful people are mentors, coaches, and are overall responsible for their team’s development. However, it’s easy to overlook developing yourself while you are so busy addressing matters that require immediate attention. In times of great uncertainty, such as right now, developing your leadership skills has become urgent. Without intention and attention, it is too easy to let the current circumstances unduly drive how you live and lead.

Join us for a highly interactive session where you’ll learn from others, share best practices, and identify strengths and gaps in your own leadership.

#WomeninTech Breakfast: MOMBoss

 

Is being a MOMboss about getting all the tasks done? Or is it about being able to prioritize and delegate so that everything gets done itself? Juggling kids schedules, house cleaning, managing lawn mowing, cooking healthy meals and entertaining the whole family during quarantine on top of a full work day sounds impossible, but is part of everyday life for a working mom. During this breakfast we will talk about challenges and wins, selfcare and team management, making hard decisions and sacrifices and what actually happens behind the scenes.

Erika and Shamyra will share their experience of being a MOMboss on Tuesday, June 30th during our interactive 1 hour talk. Our host is Katya Gorlatova, mom in tech of two kids, ages 3 and 6, and a business owner.
