✨SPECIAL EVENT✨What does leadership & innovation look like in this moment?
**✨ SPECIAL EVENT✨ What does design leadership and innovation look like in this moment? - with Adam StJohn Lawrence**
*\*\* Highly acclaimed international guest speaker and global thought leader\*\**
Organisations today are under increasing pressure. Expectations are shifting, complexity is rising, and AI is rapidly becoming part of everyday work. At the same time, the more technology advances, the more distinctly human capabilities like judgment, facilitation, collaboration, and meaning-making are coming into focus.
What does design leadership and innovation look like in this moment at the interface of human, technology (AI) and business? How can designers not only protect their craft but continue to influence decision-makers to stay the course and make human-centred decisions?
Join Adam StJohn Lawrence for an interactive evening with the MelbourneDT community, exploring how we work at the intersection of humans, technology, and business in a time of ongoing transformation.
**This is not a traditional talk**. Expect an active, engaging session in Adam’s distinctive style, combining participation, reflection, and open discussion. The focus is on making design matter in real organisational contexts.
**Together, explore:**
✨ How to position design, innovation, and facilitation in ways that resonate in today’s business environment
✨ The language we use to communicate value and influence decisions
✨ The evolving role of facilitation as systems become more complex
✨ What changes when we begin working not only with humans but alongside AI
**About Adam StJohn Lawrence**
✨ Adam StJohn Lawrence is the co-author of the best-selling book "This is Service Design Doing" and co-initiator of the Global Service Jam. Named the Godfather of facilitation, Adam is one of the founding voices of Service Design and Design Thinking globally. *He's kind of a big deal.*
Adam is no ordinary facilitator. His background spans psychology, the automotive industry, and professional theatre and comedy. Improvisation and rehearsal-room practice are central influences in his work, not as performance but as disciplined ways of working with uncertainty, emotion, status and collaboration.
Much of Adam’s work takes place under real pressure, with ambiguity, competing agendas and difficult conversations present in the room, and he brings this wealth of real-world experience to his workshop sessions. He shows you how to work with status and egos, conflict, uncertainty and shifting power dynamics in real-life situations with real people, that you can transfer and apply in your next meeting.
What Adam teaches you is that "strategy" is not a separate conversation, held behind closed doors or in PowerPoint slides. Rather, it's expressed through behaviour, through how people listen, challenge, decide and create together. He shows you how to "see it" in action and influence the strategic process not matter what level you're at.
**Who is this for?**
Everyone.
Tickets limited. Book fast. Pizza & drinks included!

Abbas Heidari, Engineer
With an IT career spanning over 30 years, I have always been passionate about bridging the gap between technical architecture and human collaboration. My journey began in 1995 in software engineering, and after completing my Master of Information Systems at the University of Melbourne, I transitioned my focus to the Atlassian ecosystem in 2015.
Currently, I serve as the Atlassian SME at Woolworths Group. Working within a high-impact team, I focus on delivering enterprise-grade solution consulting and sustainable governance to support thousands of users across a complex, large-scale environment.
I am particularly dedicated to:
■ Enterprise Solution Consulting
Architecting the Atlassian product lifecycle to meet the intricate, scalable needs of the Woolworths Group.
■ Community Leadership
Since last year, I have led the Atlassian CUG (Company User Group) within Woolworths, fostering a culture of knowledge-sharing and cross-functional best practices.
■ Product Influence
Active participation in Atlassian’s Early Access Programmes (EAPs), providing direct feedback to help shape the future of the tools we use every day.
■ Governance & Enablement
Establishing frameworks that balance operational efficiency with internal security while empowering teams through specialised training.
I believe the strength of the Atlassian suite lies in the community behind it. I’m always keen to exchange ideas on governance, scalability, and how to build a thriving internal user community.
Andy Fleming, Lead DevOps Engineer
G’day everyone, I’m Andy from Melbourne (Australia) and I've been a Community Champion since late 2025.
I’ve been an Atlassian geek since around 2008 when I started using Jira, Confluence, Bitbucket, Bamboo, Fisheye and Crucible for my startup, and have been in a number of Atlassian Admin and advocacy roles across multiple industries since then.
Primarily a Developer and DevOps guy in office hours, I love tinkering with a new tool or process and working out how it can help teams do what they’re doing better, with more clarity and transparency.
Fair chunk of experience around JSM (and the alternatives) and a passion for DX and DevSecOps type processes. Bringing some order to chaos, helping people with work and processes and generally helping people get stuff done.
My undergrad was focused on AI 30 years too early, but now spending a lot of time there as it all comes full circle, so Rovo is of particular interest.
Looking forward to meeting hopefully lots of you 🍻

Data & Analytics Wednesday - The Data-Driven Brand
**The Data-Driven Brand: Using Analytics to Shape Perception**
Can you use analytics to improve tacos? This being CBUSDAW, we think the answer is probably “yes”, but we’re not sure how to implement or test this theory.
For our April meetup we’ve got Sara Kear, CMO of Condado Tacos, to investigate this delicious question. Sara will explore how she blends quantitative data and qualitative customer feedback to shape brand positioning and drive business decisions. We all know that marketing and analytics go way beyond attribution. Sara will show how Condado uses customer insights to inform product and pricing strategy.
She’ll also highlight how Condado leverages customer feedback at scale to influence operational priorities, positioning marketing as the voice of the customer across the organization. In the last 12 years Condado has gone from one location in Columbus to 52 locations across 10 states, so we’re guessing there’s more to that growth than really good guac (though the guac probably helps).
Ultimately, this talk focuses on the intersection of art and science—using data to inform creativity and build a brand that resonates with customers in a measurable way.
**About Our Speaker**
Sara Kear is Chief Marketing Officer at Condado Tacos, where she oversees brand, restaurant design, menu and pricing strategy, off-premise including catering, and customer data strategy. Since joining in 2021, she has helped grow the brand from 19 to 52 locations while building a data-driven marketing organization focused on loyalty and customer insights. Condado has since been named to the Inc. 5000, recognized as Breakout Retailer by Chain Store Age, and consistently ranked among FastCasual’s Top 100 Movers & Shakers.
