(FS:R) - E=mc²: The relativity of excellence in a complex tech world - Eduardo Marval
Session Overview:
We are often told to "hit the ground running" when joining a new team or starting a project. But speed without direction is just chaos.
In this session, we reimagine Einstein’s formula E=mc² through the lens of professional success.
We will challenge the idea that technical skills alone drive impact, exploring a framework to help us activate the full potential of ourselves and our teams.
FutureSkills Learning Outcomes
- Rethink your impact: Understand why technical expertise is linear, but the power of Context is exponential.
- Master the 'Activation Phase': Learn a practical framework to rapidly make sense of people, processes, and technology in any new environment.
- Augment with AI: Discover how to use AI to turn your context insight into tangible strategies in minutes, not months.
Personal Bio:
Eduardo Marval’s journey into technology began as a kid in Venezuela, hacking custom monsters and objects into his own server for the game Tibia Online. That early hunger to understand "how things work" led him to study Systems Engineering at the Universidad de Los Andes and has defined his 15+ years of professional career as a technology leader.
Now a Senior Engineering Manager at AND Digital based in Reading , Eduardo specialises in untangling complex technical challenges for major enterprises like Rightmove and Hargreaves Lansdown. He believes that technical maturity is only half the battle; the rest is Context. He is passionate about building team cultures where curiosity thrives and where "hitting the ground running" is replaced by strategic understanding.
When he isn’t drawing architecture diagrams or leading teams, you can find Eduardo strategising over a boardgames, solving puzzles, or tearing up the dance floor with his Salsa moves.
