On Wednesday 26 February, I’ll be speaking at the H1 Event in Leeds about delivery style. More specifically, about how to judge where your organisation is with delivery, where you want to be and then deciding on the most appropriate way to get there. Something that comes up time and again during 101 Ways’ engagements and even during my coaching
While Yorkshire and the Humber has previously lagged behind when it comes to gender diversity, including in the technology sector, this is changing. We believe that 101 Ways and northern businesses should work together to help push this forward by creating and supporting communities.

Outside of Brexit, IR35 is the buzzword in the UK at the moment. As you’re no doubt aware, the UK Government is proposing that the public sector changes to the IR35 rules are rolled out substantively in the private sector from 6 April 2020.

The burning question on every CTO’s lips: How do you scale successfully? And who better to answer that question than an expert panel? Leading the charge was Ed Conolly, Group CTO at OVO Energy, Jon Mullen, Associate Director, Product Engineering Director at Comparethemarket.com and our very own Founder of 101 Ways, Kelly Waters.

Leadership roles within Product can be quite isolating. Often, you’re expected to have all the answers to every problem thrown at you. Senior product leaders may also find themselves reporting into non-Product-focused people, such as CMOs, CTOs and CEOs So where do senior product leaders go for support?

At our last event, we talked about the obstacles faced by people looking to move into a career in tech. And my were they extensive (you can read about them here)!
