London Tech Leaders Executive Dinner - The CTO Confidence Gap
Are organisations really equipped to deliver at the pace technology demands?
Technology leaders are under increasing pressure to deliver more faster innovation, better customer experiences and greater business value, while continuing to navigate legacy technology, complex systems and growing demands on engineering teams.
The challenge isn’t simply having the right technology. It’s understanding whether your engineering organisation is set up to consistently deliver.
For this exclusive executive dinner, we’ll bring together technology leaders from across our community for an honest conversation around the realities of modern software deliver, and what leaders can do to create an environment where developers and engineering teams can perform at their best.
The discussion will explore the relationship between developer experience, engineering effectiveness and business outcomes, including how leaders are thinking about:
Understanding developer experience, identifying the friction, blockers and inefficiencies that can prevent engineering teams from doing their best work.
Improving engineering effectiveness, moving beyond assumptions and gut feel to understand what is really happening across development and delivery.
Balancing speed with quality, enabling teams to deliver faster without creating technical debt, reliability issues or unsustainable workloads.
Creating healthier engineering teams, exploring how leadership can remove friction, improve developer experience and create the conditions for high-performing teams.
Connecting engineering activity to business outcomes, demonstrating the value of technology teams in terms that resonate beyond the engineering organisation.
Learning from peers, comparing approaches, challenges and lessons with other technology leaders navigating similar pressures.
This dinner will challenge leaders to answer the question, do we understand what is enabling or preventing our teams from delivering at their best?
Under Chatham House Rule, this will be an open and candid discussion with no sales pitches, giving leaders the space to share what’s working, where they’re struggling and how they’re approaching the evolving challenge of engineering effectiveness.
Come to compare notes with your peers, challenge your thinking and leave with practical ideas for improving developer experience and engineering performance within your organisation.
All events are free to attend, with food and drinks being complimentary!
