I had a great time at alphalist CTO Summit in Hamburg. Feeling energised from the talks and discussions over food and meeting new people.

Thanks to Tobias and team at alphalist for inviting me - what a great community!

Super interesting discussion:

How learning fosters innovation and builds a culture for innovation across the organisation

Alexander Matthey (CTO @ Adyen) & James Hopkins (Manager, Customer Success @ O'Reilly)

"We try to find people that like change ... When onboarding we give people a clear picture of where we're going, then we give them the room to manoeuvre within their role to help us get there. We also help people learn how to make good decisions..." -- Alexander Matthey

#CTOSummit24

Cloud Cost Optimisation discussion
Panelists:
Claire Fautsch (CTO @ JobLift), Jan Ramm (CTO @ metergrid), Alex Ischenko (VP Engineering @ Elopage) & Neil Metzler (Senior Cloud Business Advisor @ Doit)
Moderator: Tobias Schlottke

Claire: "focus on unallocated costs" - tag everything and decide where the cost should be allocated (which service or product).

Boyan Dimitrov (CTO @ SIXT) & Sarah Polan (Field CTO @ Hashicorp) sharing insights on platform engineering.

Sarah mentions the key principle from Team Topologies (and 3EO, etc.): platform engineering must take a product centric, nimble, agile approach, seeing internal teams as customers.

I'm very happy to be speaking at the alphalist CTO Summit this week in Hamburg, DE. As a part of code.talks conference, the CTO summit is an amazing event, organised by alphalist and Tobias Schlottke.

My talk is on getting to fast flow from "cold start" by using flow-aware suppliers.

What is your experience with warming up a culture and operating model for fast flow? 💬
