Agile – mindset & entrepreneurial advantage with Adi Sita

Written on February 11, 2020.

Tech Startup School proposes a new challenging meetup. This time we turn to entrepreneurship, agile and how the two connect for creating successful business changes. RSVP here to save your front row spot on February 12, starting at 18:30!

About the event

Many times, entrepreneurship implies fear. Which is normal, considering today’s volatile business environment. Agile shifts fear into excitement, creating a business culture where change is welcomed. How? Through a particular mindset that supports the importance of fast adaptation more than a plan, and people more than processes.

We will talk about change and mindset, about productivity, adaptability, and efficiency. We will focus on people who manage processes. All in an interactive way, as entrepreneurship involves courage and a bunch of different ideas and answers to problems, that we can all learn from.

About the speaker

Adrian has over 15 years of experience in IT development, and he is currently focusing on learning as well: eLearning and Agile trainings. The human factor is always central to his actions, so he learned a lot from interacting with various people, being happy to return the favour while teaching.

Event agenda

18:30 – 18:45 – Welcome & registration
18:45 – 20:45 – Agile: mindset & entrepreneurial advantage with Adi Sita

Critical thinking for entrepreneurship

Written on January 21, 2020.

The new year starts with a blast and a new Tech Startup School meetup dedicated to critical thinking for business purposes: better understanding how you make decisions, your business contexts, what influences you, why some actions work or don’t work etc. RSVP here to save your front row spot on January 21, starting at 18:30!

About the event

You will train this skill under the masterful watch of Radu Atanasiu. He teaches Critical Thinking for Business and Managerial Decision-Making at Maastricht School of Management, at Entrepreneurship Academy, online, on iversity.org, and in executive education workshops.

Radu is a business angel and the founder of DeBunavoie.ro – a volunteering platform.

Here’s his proposal for the evening:
“What are you counting on?” We’ll start with the famous question posed by Ilie Moromete, a question that is more pressing than ever. Then, we’ll identify the weak points of a business plan, in a practical manner. The Achille’s heel in most business plans which fail is represented by false assumptions that managers don’t even realise they make. We will train our sense of identifying these assumptions, especially for our own business plans, in an interactive session based on case studies, and the business experience in the room.”

Event agenda

18:30 – 18:45 Welcome & registration
18:45 – 20:45 – Critical Thinking with Radu Atanasiu
20:45 – 21:30 – Networking

Registration
