For the March Meetup will have a guest speaker, the usual pizza and chats.

Macro Foley from the Dublin Meetup will deliver a talk “Don’t confuse movement with progress”.

About Marco:

Marco is an individual passionate about performance and people. He studied information systems in Trinity College as a part-time degree. Marco has worked with Deloitte, SunGard and SQS, and currently, work at Aer Lingus as a consultant.

Talk Abstract:

Marco had continuously seen companies losing their focus and clarity on what they are trying to achieve. They become entangled with tasks and fail to make progress. In doing so, project teams, workplaces and the environment become plagued with stress, tension and unhappy workers. Companies see severe impacts on cost and schedules & tend never to address or notice a recurring theme. Leaders, you are responsible for the guidance of your people and striving to meet the goals of the company, shaping a future instead of reacting to it.
Join Marco as he dives into some of my experiences & how simple but brave choices could save a world of pain in projects, leadership & individual professional goals.
