Learn To Fail Faster As A Developer with Codeworks co-founder Arol Viñolas

October 19, 2016 @ 19:00 - 21:00

Hi all!

Fail fast, fail often” is a familiar mantra in Silicon Valley, but still not always the way to go in Spain. Entrepreneur and co-founder of Codeworks Arol Viñolas has developed his own method of failing fast, which he’ll gladly share with all of you!

Arol:

I love the idea of how people can grow through creative activities at work: Google was encouraging its employees to spend 20% of their time building projects they think will most benefit the company. I thought it was brilliant, and decided to apply it to my own company.

But 20% of your time is much, how do you handle it? My co-workers were really puzzled, trying to figure out how they should proceed. So, I applied several approaches: internal hackathons, pitches, team projects… None of them worked.

Then one day I read about the “fail faster” idea, and I loved it. With this in mind I created a method for it and results started to come.

In this talk, I’ll tell you why the other approaches failed, and how I came up with the solution, with the help of a game designer and Isaac Asimov!

There will of course be time of Q&A’s as well as free beer! 🙂

See you!
