ManageOps #3
Details
ManageOps returns for our third event, and we're excited to see how our community of technical leaders is growing!
This event aimed at people working in tech leadership, whether as an Engineering Manager, technical lead or any other role involving leadership, development and support of others.
Like our last event, we'll have a talk from a community tech leader, with space for Q&A and discussion afterwards.

This month, we'll be hearing from Will Peachey, Director and member of the board for School of Code. Will is committed to building sustainable teams that find ways to deliver outstanding results. With over 30 years of experience in global professional services firms running teams and leading business units, he has lots of examples of good and bad practice to learn from. Here's what Will is going to talk to us about:
Attract and retain your team for the long haul: using communities of practice to make your team sing.
Is it money, is it power? Perhaps for some, but most folk in tech want purpose, and perhaps unsurprisingly we mostly find that means working well together. This talk will build on what good communities of practice are and suggest ways you can take learnings into your own teams.

After the main speaker, we'll have more space with a roundtable chat about a hot topic of the month – help us decide what this should be on the night.
So do you need guidance on hiring strategies, managing 1:1s, implementing complex policies like on-call or other leadership challenges? Would you like to hear from your peers in the West Midlands about how their organisations are responding to the remote/in-office debate? Let us know.
ManageOps is generously supported by TechMids, who help us promote and organise the event, and Substrakt, who kindly provide food and drinks during the event – we’re also very grateful to the team at the Jointworks for providing their lovely venue to host us.
ManageOps is still getting started and we want it to be shaped by you, its attendees – come along and help define what a meetup for technical leaders (or those aspiring to this role) should be. Excited to see you there!
