Title: Building Learning into Team Life
Proposer: Rachel Davies
Type: Workshop
Duration: 90 mins
Description:
When we make time and space for learning within teams, the
products and services we build benefit from new ideas and innovative
solutions. Team members also tend to find work more satisfying and
enjoyable, which helps company recruitment and staff retention. Many us
struggle when it comes to practical ways to encourage people to keep
learning at work. It can help to build in time for learning, exploration
and discovery into team/organization process but how can you get started?
Perhaps more challenging, how can you keep learning initiatives going
without taking on the admin yourself?
Come to this workshop to hear some practical ideas of how you can get
learning built into your team process. We'll talk about a variety
initiatives including: Lightning Talks, Tech Academy for new starters,
Coding Dojos, Conference Club and Gold Cards for research.
