In November 2024 Deliver Sessions meetup was hosted at Northcoders’ office in Manchester Technology Centre, for an evening of talks about how people have got better at what they do. We asked speakers to think about: Here’s a few notes on what they put together. From Engineer to Head of Product Delivery: Hard Lessons and…

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…

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…
