Technical leaders today can easily be overwhelmed by the tasks they must perform and the rapidly changing technology they must wrestle with daily. Understanding the stages most companies go through as they grow, and the key decisions that must be made at the stage transitions, can help leaders cope more effectively in their roles.

This talk will present these stages of growth and outline key decisions that must be made as a company transitions from being a startup, to small, to mid-sized, and beyond.

This session will be of interest to technical leaders at all levels, from Lead Tech to CTO, who want to gain insight into how to better anticipate changes that will occur as their company matures and grows.
