Succeeding with Transformation
Succeeding with Transformation
**!IMPORTANT!!** You must sign up with your real name and mail through an external page, as Meetup does not support that. **BOOK YOUR SPOT HERE: [TicketTailor](https://www.tickettailor.com/events/pawelernestolchowik/2010630) (it's free!)** ## **Succeeding with Transformation** **Change, fatigue, resistance - and how managing complexity helps us** **BOOK YOUR SPOT HERE: [TicketTailor](https://www.tickettailor.com/events/pawelernestolchowik/2010630) (it's free!)** We're inviting you to a full-day event focused on a question many organisations struggle with: **Why do so many transformations stall - even when the intent is good and sound?** This event will explore **how to succeed with transformation** in environments shaped by uncertainty, interdependencies, and ongoing change. Rather than treating transformation as a one-off initiative, we’ll look at it through a **complexity lens** - as something that unfolds over time, affects people differently, and rarely follows a linear *path*. Throughout the day, we will explore topics such as: * change fatigue and why “just one more initiative” often backfires * resistance to change - not as a problem to remove, but as a signal to understand * the limits of traditional change management approaches * what complexity thinking adds to strategy, transformation, and leadership * practical perspectives that help leaders navigate change more sustainably While individual sessions may differ in focus, all contributions will connect to a shared theme: **what helps transformation succeed in complex, adaptive systems**. This is a **save-the-date / early invitation**. More details about speakers, agenda, and format will follow. If you work with strategy, transformation, or large-scale change - and are curious about approaches that go beyond simple playbooks - we invite you to **book your time and join the conversation**. 🎤 Follow us on LinkedIn, we’ll be announcing more speakers soon, links to our profiles are below See you there!

Coffee Talk
Coffee Talk
Fulfillment. Joy. – Do you know what it is? Do you feel it now? Many of us are living lives that have “just sort of happened”. We had a dream, a vision (maybe we still do) for what we wanted our lives to look like. Somewhere along the way, life took over and something else ended up happening. We made decisions, took a turn down a path, and now our life isn’t what we thought it would be. Or we’re living someone else’s life. Maybe it’s what our parent’s wanted for us. What we believe our partner or a potential partner might want. Or maybe it’s what we believe we need to do and have to be happy. I was one of these people. My life checked all the boxes for what I thought I needed in order to be happy. And still, I wasn’t. Join me for a coffee talk on what it means to live a Life By Design. Where your choices are deliberate and based on your authentic, true self. What you have to let go off to achieve this (hint: the notion that vulnerability is a weakness and feelings of fear and guilt) and who you will become in the process.

Finding real traction is another. ​For the first Founders Circle in Copenhagen, we’re bringing together experienced founders to share how they approached go-to-market — what worked, what failed, what they misjudged, and what ultimately helped them gain traction. ​This is an honest, practical conversation focused on early positioning, first customers, channel experiments, pivots, and the messy middle between idea and growth. ​ **Panelists** ​**Tony Beltramelli** Founder & CEO at Uizard ​**Dennis Green-Lieber** Founder & CEO at Propane ​Moderated by **Simon Hansen**, CPO at Airtame
Time for improv fun!
Time for improv fun!
Welcome for some fun improv games together :) About us: We are a bunch of people of all ages and backgrounds, gathering to share the common passion for improv. Improvisation, or Improv for short, is a form of live theatre in which the story, characters and scenes are without a script and made up in the moment, completely different every time. The actors are acting, directing themselves, writing the plot and interacting with each other all at the same time without previous planning. Improvisation can help you with your social and business skills by training your mind to think quickly and react to unexpected situations. In Improvisation, there are no lines to memorize and you play off other creatively challenged fun-loving, global-minded people who loves laughing at themselves. It’s a great way to socialize and make new friends. It’s a welcoming atmosphere, we want you to join in the fun, whether you are a complete beginner or an experienced improviser – come and lets enjoy together! We usually start with some warm-ups that help us relax, listen and focus. Then we move on to doing different kinds of short scene fun games with each other, making characters, stories and our small worlds. In improv mistakes are welcome and you will have goooood times! We charge 50 kr in advance in order to cover our expenses. Swish is king! See you very soon ;) Please come only if you are in good health! P.S. You can also follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/themiip

From Web Forms to Web Components - Burton Smith
**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you. The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 **Abstract** Web Forms gave .NET developers a powerful abstraction for building reusable UI controls long before design systems were a thing. Web Components finally bring that same idea to the browser natively. This session explores how the Web Forms mindset translates into Custom Elements, Shadow DOM, and HTML templates. We’ll examine how Web Components enable design systems that work across frameworks, how they differ from server‑driven controls, and why they’re becoming a foundational layer for modern UI. Whether you’re maintaining legacy apps or building greenfield projects, you’ll leave with a practical understanding of how to apply familiar patterns in a modern, standards‑based way. **YouTube Link** TBA
