Coaching Development Teams: Teach a Man to Fish

Talk at PHPCon Poland 2011 (English - UK)

Rating: 5 of 5

"Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime." so goes the famous Chinese proverb, and the same principle applies elsewhere in life. In development teams, we often recruit to fill skills gaps or to increase our output, which is time-consuming and expensive - and isn't always necessary. In this session we'll look at strategies for enabling our existing teams to perform better, by seeking and sharing knowledge, skills and processes. This is the talk for anyone with an ambition to improve their technical or softer skills, for themselves and their futures.

Little boring at the beginning, but later much better. Liked solutions for "0 punds training budget". And that accent! ;)

Inspiring, interesting talk, well said with beautiful accent. I'm glad that Lorna mentioned about risk and ROI, which are often put aside.
