Makings of a Great Technical Manager

Have you worked for a great manager? What were the qualities that made him or her stand out from the rest? Share your experience and tap into the collective wisdom that will be present. We will uncover the most important qualities and skills for a technical manager to posses.

We will use the Nominal Group Technique (NGT) to gather up the group's experiences and ideas. NGT works faster than traditional brainstorming, yet generates more complete and higher quality results. Next we will identify the factors that have had the biggest impact using DOTS, a technique that efficiently harnesses the collective wisdom of the group, while avoiding groupthink.

This is really two workshops for the price of one. You will walk out with a better understanding of what makes technical managers succeed, as well as knowing how to use NGT and DOTS to tap into the wisdom and knowledge of a group.
