Hello folks,

Another week, another conference. I was speaking at Seacon yesterday about collaboration antipatterns and bridging silos. I had a lot of fun and got a bit creative with keynote animations and gifs.

One of my slides from yesterday

Some of the conference themes were autonomy, bridging silos and teamwork. There was filming, so I expect the videos will go up on their YouTube channel soon. I also got to catch up with some friends and make some new ones.

Happy Friday and enjoy this week’s posts
