MODERATOR: Ciprian Sorlea, CTO @ Nordlogic Software

I am passionate about technology and people, and I spend a great deal of time getting the two play nice together. All with the intent of building great Software Products.

As an employee, consultant and business owner I had the great opportunity to work with and for companies ranging from Startups to Enterprises and build products used by most of the Fortune 100 companies. For over 20 years I wrote software, I recruited/ coached and managed several hundreds talented engineers, designers and managers and I brought tens of products to life. And I loved (almost) every bit of this.

Currently I am driving the Technology & Product Development strategy at Nordlogic Software, as its CTO.

My IT career is almost of the same age as Google, which I am profoundly grateful for every time my children have questions like Do wombats really poop cube-shaped?
I am curious by nature and maybe because of this I have tried as many roles as I could so far, ranging from developer to team leader, delivery director, product owner and tester.

Going beyond stakeholder maps and engagement models, I want to tell you what I’ve applied and learned in the past years about this vast topic.

Presentation: Going back to the roots is a step forward!

We all work with different groups, and teams and most of us apply the same processes, let’s call them agile. What we usually tend to forget is that we work with people!
The groups, the teams, and the boards are made up of individuals with their own views and principles, and biases.
Let’s deep dive into this for a bit!

Presentation: Positive Psychology in organizations: from philosophy to practical application!

Why do we focus on improving weaknesses, instead of cultivating strengths? And why do we focus on failures and how to avoid or correct them, instead of building on the success factors of a project? Maybe you can explain it to me during our session, because I don’t get it….
