Session: Why we need to talk Tech Excellence

Good intentions and top talent alone will not drive your organisation to your goals and more often than not what is needed is nested under the categories of HR, Culture, Ops and Change management. Tech Excellence is the translation of Operational Excellence in the world of fast-moving high-growth organisations and this talk will wrap up the key themes that TechEx works in.
Find out what TechEx is, how it helped us at OLX and how it might help you today!


Key Takeaways

  • Learn about Tech Excellence
  • Get tips on how to develop the right heuristics
  • Hear about the OLX group case study
