Deliver Sessions: Back to school
Deliver Sessions meetup took a Summer break, then returned in September 2024 – this time, to Auto Trader‘s office in Tony Wilson Place. We had a range of speakers sharing what they’ve learned from trying out new things at work. The power of “I don’t know” Chris Burns (head of product) has been reflecting a lot…

Deliver Sessions: Starting something new
I’ve helped organise Deliver Sessions meetup for a few years, and now I try to write a few notes after each one so I remember all the good topics they cover. For this post, we’re trying something a bit different: part of this is a guest post from my co-organiser Chris Burns! In June 2024 we were…

Deliver Sessions: Same goals, different roles
I’ve helped organise Deliver Sessions meetup for a few years, and now I try to write a few notes after each one so I remember all the good topics they cover. In March 2024 we were hosted at Zühlke’s office in Piccadilly Basin, where we had 3 talks and plenty of time to discuss them. All the…

The latest one, in June 2023, was back at the BBC’s offices, where we talked about facilitation…

Deliver Sessions: Outcomes, outputs, other things
I help organise the Deliver Sessions meetup in Manchester, and I might get into a good habit of blogging a few notes about each one – I enjoyed looking back at the evening of lightning talks we had in November 2022. Our next session was at Digital Guru’s offices in February 2023, where we had…

Deliver Sessions: An evening of lightning talks
I’ve helped organise the Deliver Sessions meetup for the last few years, after the founders (Matt Thornhill and Shahina Patel) handed over to a new team of me, Chris Burns and Zoe Rigley. The meetup went “remote and occasional” for the last few years, which was still fun – but I’m really pleased it’s now…
