Kick-off

Two industry veterans with an abundance of grey hair facilitating an actioned packed two hours looking at Bootcamp from a slightly different lens. Yes, there will be some familiar topics, but the business world (including startups and scaleups) is increasingly grappling with how to recruit and retain teams working and trying to innovate in hybrid mode, and getting that extra bit of support going to market. So join us to stretch the thinking around how we survive, divide, collide and thrive.

What Just Happened? Investing In Wild Times

Covid recovery was just gathering pace, and then Public markets get smacked, covered in red, inflation like we haven’t seen for years, and interest rates only interesting if you’re on the lending side of the equation. The feeling is whiplash. But is it the same in the private sector? Have valuations taken a hit in the same way? Is money still available, and if so what are the conditions? Best tips for a pitch? How to extend runway? Learn from the ones who have the money.

The Stats on People

The world of people in charts. Yes everything is digital, but we still need humans. So what do they want from their work? What motivates them? What attracts them and makes them stay?

15:05 - 15:40
Roundtables with coaches

What has worked, what hasn’t in your business? How do you retain people in one of the hottest employment markets in living history? How do you innovate when your teams are distributed, or working from home? Is it better to have certain days in the office, or should it be fluid?

15:40 - 16:05
This Little Piggy Went To Market

They’re big, they grew larger during the pandemic, but now are looking at their models in the face of changes that continue to throw up curve balls. Microsoft pivoting Industry Cloud and trying to look at the world through a solutions lens, AWS the leader in Cloud but challenger in product / solutions, and Google pushing marketplace. How does your business benefit? All these players have marketplaces connecting independent software vendors to their existing customer base, so how can you benefit from an origination channel there for the taking? Does it work? .

Lessons of Resilience

You’re the boss. You have a team, you have investors, you have customers, you have suppliers, you have a girlfriend/boyfriend, family, pets…and they all need you. When everything is going right, sweet, you can manage all the balls in the air. But when things start to close in on you, how do you cope? Take it from me, at least I wasn’t in a war zone…
