Build.Grow.Lead

Learn from leading product people, company builders, and growth leaders, and get a practical insight into the art and science of building, growing, and leading incredible tech businesses.

Turing Fest’s consists of three tracks — BUILD, GROW, and LEAD that foster interdisciplinary learning and networking, to help you and your team break down silos and see the bigger picture.

Program agenda:

Week 1: Thriving in chaos: How do you keep shipping in the face of global chaos? How do you sell when no-one’s buying? And how do you steer a company and keep your team happy, safe, and productive through a black swan event like COVID-19, and the economic fallout that will follow it?

Turing Fest Online Event will kick things off with a series of sessions exploring how to adapt to unpredictable circumstances.

Week 2: The stack

The choices you make about the tools your team uses can have lasting consequences — both positive and negative — for how you work. Discuss the platforms, technologies, and processes that help growing startups work more cohesively, ship products more efficiently, drive tangible growth, and help us scale.

Week 3: People & Teams

Your team is your business’ most valuable asset. Attracting, hiring, training, and retaining the right people is never easy. How you structure and empower your teams can have an outsized impact on whether your business thrives or fails.

Turing Fest Online Event will be exploring the challenges facing tech companies around talent, org design, collaboration, and internal communication.

Week 4: Customers & Markets

Business love to talk about ‘customer-centricity’ — but truly understanding and optimizing for your customer is a challenging and ongoing process. From the boardroom to the codebase, discuss how to build and scale the products your customers actually need.

Week 5: Strategy: Without a clearly-articulated vision and strategy, your product is going nowhere and your business will stagnate. Discuss how some of the best engineering leaders and growth strategists come up with The Plan — and how they adapt when The Plan meets the reality of the market.

Week 6: Growth

‘Growth’ means something different to each of your teams — whether you’re trying to scale technical infrastructure, boost the bottom line, or expand and mature your organization. But how and how fast you grow can be the difference between making a dent in the universe or… not.

Week 7: Culture & Ethics

Technology businesses in 2020 face more ethical questions than ever before. From biased algorithms to brand safety, and from customers’ privacy concerns to how to build more diverse and inclusive teams, we’ll take a hard look at the cultural complexities facing technologists and entrepreneurs today.

Week 8: What’s next?

2020 has been a difficult year — and 2021 looks set to bring its own challenges. But there are opportunities as well as obstacles ahead — so to help you prepare, we’ll take a look forward at what’s on the horizon: technological innovations, changing patterns of work and shifting customer needs, economic and social upheaval, and more.
