Together in business
Your Monday morning dose of positivity and motivation! This podcast is about creativity, productivity and basically people just being nice to each other at work. You can expect a new episode every other week, bright and early, on a Monday morning at 6am CET, to start the week with a good dose of positive energy. To make it interactive and have people participating, in the week between podcasts, I will post the topic of the next one on LinkedIn, so that everyone can comment. My background is in both academia and EdTech/digital product development, so expect some waffling about that too, always with people and processes at the centre!

Scrum and agile principles can be used for improving teamwork in a variety of environments.
I currently work in academia, coordinating a team that does lab work to generate next-generation sequencing, and needs to coordinate with the dry lab team analyzing the data, as well as the various stakeholders in management and other teams across Europe that produce paired, complementary data using other lab methods.
I can see a lot of parallels with the roles in scrum, and I implement most of the scrum events (and other agile principles) to the way we work. The key is to pick and choose what works for a specific team and type of work, and apply it in a way that works for said team and tasks.
