The best part of this week at #CTOCraftCon has been the validation on many levels of the role of a CTO, the methodologies a CTO should leverage, and where my beliefs overlaps with what has been presented on-stage. Flying to London for the conference was a great investment in my personal growth.

And that's a wrap of another awesome #CTOCraftCon event. It was great to caych up with some old friends, meet some new ones, listen to insightful talks and participate in roundtable sessions! Thanks @andyskipper and the team for organising it. Until next time ๐

This was an awesome where @cfhirschorn shared her experience and wish we'd have more time ๐
Fantastic to hear from Crystal Hirschorn this morning on A tech leaderโs playbook: Galvanising product & tech organisations to deliver repeated success. #ctocraftcon
"What should a CTO look for in an investor?"
So many post-it takeaways from the final roundtable, on fundraising and the role of the CTO, that they're spilling off the sides! Thanks to Dr Kari Dempsey and Jonathan Holloway for leading this one. #ctocraftcon
"It's about making it safe for someone to say 'I'm going to opt out of that'."
Great final panel on "Challenging ways of working โ finding happiness at work" this afternoon featuring Georgina Shute, Liz Pope and Ryan Murphy, led by Lauren Langdell.
#ctocraftcon
Tech principles (the things we care about that guide how we go about our work) are more important than a tech strategy.
Thanks Mark Durrand for "Learn to Stop Worrying and Love Having no Tech Strategy"; a good tech strategy is lightweight!ย #ctocraftcon
Agile, DevOps, and CI/CD pipelines create the perception that dedicated testers are becoming obsolete, but this view is shortsighted. So how can you embed test expertise in modern software development teams? Katja Obring talking here about going beyond testers.
#ctocraftcon
Giving and receiving feedback is hard. But there are far better ways to give feedback than the dreaded "Do you have a minute?" - Clem Pickering shared a few feedback recipes with us this afternoon, including both formal and informal methods. #ctocraftcon
"Itโs not about work life/balance, itโs about integration"
Elena Bladh in conversation with Emma Hopkinson-Spark on leading your personal growth, and looking at how you can get a handle on your own strengths and areas of development.
#ctocraftcon
"We all opened up... it was emotional"
To those in this afternoon's roundtable on leadership lessons from downsizing and reorganisations: well done! Joel Chippindale and Michael Hefferan led a great and cathartic session.
#ctocraftcon
"Your voice matters, your ideas are valued. You are safe to explore them here."
Great lightning talk from Georgina Shute on psychological safety: how to cultivate an environment where burnout is minimised, productivity soars, & innovation becomes sustainable.

Okay, while we break for #ctocraftcon lunch (enjoy!) I'm going to try and thread together all @corey_latislaw's sketch notes so far, starting with yesterday's.
First sketchnote of the day! Enjoyed this keynote by Matej Pfajfar at @CTOCraft Con! Innovating at pace with simpler decision-making. #CTOCraftCon

Have you seen these great sketchnotes @cfhirschorn?

Enjoyed this talk by Crystal Hirschorn at #CTOCraftCon about onboarding yourself at a new organization.
I like to think of it as a discovery process that you might run with a client โ talk to everyone, learn everything you can so you can make good decisions.
