How do we make an impact to the starters in our field regardless of your position in the industry? Let’s put ourselves in the shoes of a newcomer and explore mentoring from a different perspective.

Coming from being a part of an 18 month Graduate Program position at REA Group, my peers and I have been fortunate enough to find ourselves in an environment where mentoring and pairing is a big part of the culture. This talk is designed to give the attendees an insight on what a diverse range of mentees actually wish and crave for, to empower people to mentor and help shape the future of tech.

Lean and Systems Thinking is about to get bigger. By several orders of magnitude.

Whether you are automating testing, automating devops, or introducing lean agile practices across an organisation, let's get together and reflect on our own experiences of automation at scale and other lessons learnt from the Tesla Production System.
