This event has already taken place. Have a look at our upcoming events to see what’s coming up.

 

Welcome to the next Agile Reading meetup!

 

Our mission is to grow the Agile community in Reading and share new trends and techniques in the Agile world.

 

Join us for this month’s Agile Reading meetup, where Ann Bergin, Agile Software Developer at the Royal Society of Chemistry in Cambridge, will take us on a journey of cultural diversity and sense-making.

 

In this talk, Ann will bring us on a virtual sense-making trip around the world using language and the Cynefin framework to help us find better ways to communicate complex concepts between diverse groups. She will present us with “untranslatable” words and expressions in various languages to outline how different cultures communicate in metaphor.
