Rob Day, Director, Turnaround
TOPIC: Breaking Paradigms – Old ways of thinking do not produce new ideas.
Code Crackers is a highly interactive, table-based session. You will work with others to tackle a problem where the path forward is deliberately unclear. Expect discussion, experimentation, and moments of being stuck. That discomfort is intentional. When familiar approaches stop working, a different way of thinking emerges.
