Lean TECHniques is excited to host the second annual Tech Journey Open — a golf outing focused on raising money and providing scholarships to students participating in Tech Journey’s Tech Camp program.

This year’s Tech Journey Open will take place on Thursday, Sept. 8, 2022 at Beaver Creek Golf Course with a 10:00 a.m. shotgun start.

Last year’s inaugural event raised over $19,600. This money was used to support the Tech Journey organization as a whole and also provide Tech Camp scholarships to nine high school seniors.

Tech Journey is a Des Moines-based nonprofit committed to inspiring and supporting underrepresented youth as they learn about the possibilities within technology. Tech Camp is Tech Journey’s flagship offering — an immersive summer program focused on educating, inspiring and connecting individuals from traditionally underrepresented groups in the tech space with local professionals. 

“Tech Journey is such an important organization in our community. Through their work, they’re opening doors for students who otherwise might not get the chance to learn that they have a passion for technology. We know that the best solutions come when you can bring people together who have different backgrounds and perspectives. Tech Journey is helping inspire the next generation and connect them with organizations like ours who can support, mentor and, ideally one day, even hire them. We’re excited to see what impact we can make for Tech Journey as we come together with others in the Iowa tech community to support such a great cause,” said Danielle Brommer, Lean TECHniques Chief Growth Officer.

We hope you’ll join us in opening doors to the tech industry for Iowa youth by participating in the second annual Tech Journey Open.

SGTech seeks to uncover the philosophy and ideas that shaped Singapore’s development in the digital forefront and the defining moments that led to the Singapore of today, with its drive to become a Smart Nation. Industry veterans spanning the private and government sectors and features several contributors bring to the table their intimate knowledge and reflections of the ICT industry.

For half a century, Singapore has made remarkable progress in technology since the early years when the first mainframe was installed in the Central Provident Fund (CPF) to automate the Board’s manual ledger accounting system. The Committee on National Computerisation was established, with the aim of training and educating the population to use computers and grow Singapore’s IT manpower pool. This constant emphasis on IT adoption and innovation has become a national narrative through the years.

Policymakers, entrepreneurs and top executives have driven and architected Singapore’s ICT industry in its formative years. Singapore needs to push the envelope of IT and reflects on how to kickstart Singapore’s IT journey as the chairman of the Committee on National Computerisation.

The last 45 years of Singapore’s tech journey comprises several areas: development and impact of several national IT projects like TradeNet and LawNet; businesses set up by Singapore entrepreneurs; profiles of businessmen and made-in-Singapore products and services; information highway development in the early years from Singapore One to fibre broadband; Internet, dotcom wave 1 and Web 2.0 companies, investors and public sector funders; and the buildup of talent and manpower. IT scene in Singapore developed as a result of community cooperation

SGTech is a premier trade association for the tech industry in Singapore. Within a rapidly evolving technology landscape, SGTech strives to create an ecosystem that anticipates trends and develops sustainable initiatives to strengthen the community and help the industry grow. SGTech has close to 1,000 members ranging from innovative start-ups, vibrant small and medium-sized enterprises to top multinational corporations that leverage technology as a core driver of their business.

SGTech works closely with various stakeholders to promote emerging technologies in areas such as Digital Media, Cloud Computing, Wireless, Security and Governance. SGTech also provides platforms to help members with opportunities to increase their market presence and business outreach. Smart Nation Chapter is supported by the Smart Nation and Digital Government Office (SNDGO).

Singapore has embraced technology as a crucial engine of the economy and society. The country’s infrastructure, as well as government digital services, are often recognised for their technological readiness. As Singapore continues to leverage new technologies to digitally transform government digital services, there are lessons to share and much to learn from other countries that have developed new ways of improving the online experience for citizens. We share some of the notable awards and significant milestones that Singapore has garnered over the years.

As reported by OpenGov Asia, Due to few natural resources, Singapore has to be creative to build its economy. Its use of innovative finance to rid the city of inadequate and unattractive housing and provide dignified public housing to the majority of its citizens has been hailed at many urban conferences as an example to other developing economies.

The Singapore government has never shied away from taking calculated risks in investing in the future. The nation has become one of the most developed and richest countries in the world by pursuing its smart nation strategy to protect its technology and growth prospects in the region.

Singapore needs to innovate and enhance its growth strategy to overcome our physical limitations and bring good jobs and opportunities to all Singaporeans. As part of Singapore’s roadmap to become a smart nation, the enhanced growth strategy for the digital economy will go hand-in-hand with the digital government strategies.

The Smart Nation plan encourages innovation and collaboration between citizens and companies to improve growth and the lives of people. Despite being heavily pushed and backed by the government, officials repeatedly emphasise that a smart nation is not built by the government, but by everyone – citizens, companies, and agencies.

From Delta to Google: Executive MBA Phong Truong’s Journey to Switching Industries

Executive MBA alumnus Phong Truong

When Phong Truong was an undergraduate student at Georgia Tech, he visited Delta Air Lines for the first time and began envisioning a future career at the company. His dream became a reality when he was hired as an aerospace engineer after graduating in 2010. He rose through the ranks working on aircraft maintenance programs. But after more than a decade at the world’s busiest airport , Phong was ready to spread his wings and soar to his next opportunity.

He always wanted to earn his MBA directly after graduating, but realized he didn’t have enough work experience when considering the program earlier in his career.

The timing became right in 2020. One of Phong’s friends, who also worked at Delta, was pursuing his MBA, inspiring him to reconsider that path. The decision was easy for Phong to return to his alma mater, and he also liked the curriculum of the Georgia Tech Executive MBA program compared to other top-ranked business schools.   

Phong joined Scheller’s Executive MBA program in 2020 and became a Double Jacket the following year after graduating with his Executive MBA in Management of Technology . The 17-month program was a life-changing experience for Phong. He formed life-long friendships, improved his time management skills, and found his next dream job.   

Phong didn’t intend to switch industries when he joined the Executive MBA program. However, his cohort inspired him to explore other professions. “My classmates helped me understand what the culture and career progression is like in other industries,” he said.

Phong found valuable insights in those conversations, but he knew he needed help tailoring his resume from engineering to be more tech focused. He sought assistance from Cynthia Lynch, director of Executive MBA student engagement at the time, to help him revamp his resume. With her guidance, he rebranded and translated his skills to where he wanted to go.

“After graduating with my Executive MBA in December 2021, I realized that pivoting into a completely different role and industry would need more than just a degree,” he said. “I needed additional work experience too, so I took a more indirect path through a lateral position transfer at Delta, which helped me translate my skills into tech.” 

Phong's lateral move at Delta was from lead principal engineer of Cabin Maintenance Programs to Techops supply chain manager, where he transitioned from an operational, engineering-focused role to a more strategic, commercially focused role.  The valuable experience he learned in contract management and commercial negotiations helped shape his skills to be more transferable to consider pivoting to a new industry outside of the airline industry.   

While in the Executive MBA program, he applied to tech-focused roles and interviewed at some of the Magnificent Seven companies. Although the interview process was long at some companies, Phong was fully prepared when he interviewed at Google. He applied some of the lessons learned from his cohort and previous interview and was excited when he was offered the program manager of networking operation at Google in early 2023. He secured his second dream job.  

Now, Phong spends his days working in networking commercial and business operations. He is a financial data governance lead within Google Cloud and supports the business operations for many product areas that support the expansion of the cloud infrastructure around the world. He says pivoting into data isn’t entirely new. He has data analytics experience working with aircraft reliability data as a lead engineer at Delta and eventually translated his engineering skills to his current role.

“If you’re looking to switch jobs or careers, your path may not be well-defined,” he said. “You have to keep your mind open because opportunities may come at any moment, and you have to be open and flexible.” 

We talked with Phong to learn more about his Executive MBA journey, the value of his cohort, and switching careers.  

How did you know Scheller was the best option for your career aspirations?

I was ready to challenge myself and be open to new opportunities; I wanted to unlock my potential. I chose Scheller because of its focus on a technology-focused curriculum. Working in Big Tech was a long-term goal, and I didn’t have sufficient transferrable skills to pivot to the industry before I started the Executive MBA program. I knew I needed the extra edge to put me over the top. Attending the orientation session and seeing students talking about their capstone project they recently completed got me excited about the program.   

What were your expectations going into the program?

I was excited! Going back to school reinvigorated me. When you’re in a work setting, you’re focused on meeting your divisional goals to support your company. But with school, I put the work phone down, emails aside, and dedicated myself to expanding my knowledge. 

Why did you decide to choose the Management of Technology specialization?

One of the things I liked about the Global Business specialization was that students worked on a project with a local Fortune 500 company in Atlanta. But I chose the Management of Technology track because of its technology and start-up-focused curriculum, which aligned with my future career aspirations.  

What was your cohort experience like and the connections you formed with your classmates?

I still talk to my team members on my capstone team and a few others from my 2021 cohort. We have a group chat and have met up several times since graduation. We’ve returned to Tech to participate in two Georgia Tech Pi Miles. It’s been great to build that network and also friendships. The Executive MBA program motivated me to continuously network, where that wasn’t a focus earlier in my career.

How did you balance work, personal, and school and going through the pandemic? 

My first semester in Fall 2020 and second semester in Spring 2021 were hybrid. I preferred the in-person classes versus virtual because it was important for me to connect with my classmates and professors and get the full experience as if I were back in undergrad. At the same time, I juggled my full-time job as an engineer at Delta, which taught me extreme task management. Managing my time helped me refocus my personal and work life and focus on what matters. During the 17-month program, you don’t have time to do a lot of non-value-added things, unfortunately.  

When did you realize you were learning new transferable skills and wanted to make an industry pivot?

Networking with my cohort helped me understand the ins and outs of other areas of expertise outside of my industry. I think the strength of the network and the MBA program helped me a lot. The career sessions I had with Cynthia Lynch before she retired helped as well. She helped me reshape my resume and how I was selling myself so that I could better position myself as a suitable candidate for my next role.

Were you nervous or excited about switching industries from engineering to business? 

Both. I spent my entire career with Delta Air Lines — almost 14 years. Jumping into a new company and industry was nerve-wracking because it was almost like the first day on the job after college. You’re starting with a new network at work.  I experienced some imposter syndrome. But I was excited because Google has always been one of my dream companies, and Delta was the other one. I never knew I had the skill set to make a switch, and the Executive MBA program helped show me that I did have those transferrable skills. 

You participated in the Lean Six Sigma training that is offered to Executive MBA students. What was that experience like? How do you implement what you learned into your career? 

I highly recommend the Lean Six Sigma (LSS) Green Belt program because it is a free course offered by the Executive MBA program.  LSS is a methodology that I used previously in my work experience at Delta in improving processes and reducing errors in aircraft maintenance programs. I also use it in my personal life to improve routine tasks such as organizing a garage or changing the oil on my car. 

How has your view on leadership and technology changed since graduating from the program? 

I think it’s constantly evolving. Experiencing and studying different leadership styles at companies has changed my mindset since I received my MBA. However, I see similarities between the two companies in that they both lead with empathy. That’s the best leadership trait of Ed Bastian and Sundar Pichai. 

Thinking back from your first day of class to your last day, is there anything you would change?  

I am naturally a motivated and driven person, so being completely focused on achievement was top of mind. However, if I were to go through the program again, I’d have a more relaxed view and enjoy the classroom discussions without stressing out over grades (there are still exams however).  

What advice do you have for prospective students who want to pursue their Executive MBA? 

I have two pieces of advice. I wouldn’t start the program until you’ve had five to 10 years of work experience so you can bring your experiences and relevant examples to the class to share. Then, you can apply the lessons from class to your everyday work and maybe to a different role. 

My other advice is to come to class and be ready to listen to your classmates. You should absorb all the knowledge from people outside your industry and functional role and understand what’s out there. You never know where you will end up. I didn’t think I would work at Google or in the tech industry, but that’s where I am now. Be open in your career mindset.

A journey as co-author of Tech Radar

Thoughtworks Technology Radar is a twice-yearly snapshot of tools, techniques, platforms, languages and frameworks. Each edition of the guide reflects the incorporation of our open knowledge culture, sharing our experiences and using the global approach first. 

The first edition was released in January 2010. In 15 years of history, we can say that we still believe in the vast majority of the techniques of each edition of the guide, especially those that were placed in the "adopt" ring. The Radar has maintained its structure, but we have advanced over time by making it more intuitive and accessible for each of the technologists around the world. 

Camilla Crispim, Principal Engineer Consultant and co-author of Tech Radar, has a history of impact with Radar. "I’ve been with Thoughtworks since 2013. I did a lot of things in my time in technical leadership roles for teams and accounts, but I was also Technical Assistant for the CTO Global, who at the time was Rebecca Parsons. Consequently, I was Product Owner of Tech Radar from 2016 to 2018. In 2020, I was invited to return to the group, as co-author, representing Brazil". 

Getting to volume 30 of the Radar takes us back to a long journey in which Thoughtworkers had contact with different technologies and developed a variety of knowledge. Only in this edition, 22 people participated in the definition and construction – not to mention all the Thoughtworkers who suggested inputs and gave feedback. Of these 22 of the last edition, 6 of them are co-authors since the first edition, which began only as an internal publication.

"Thoughtworks is not observant of industry trends. We are the movers of the industry. Therefore, Radar is not a simple publication, a list of technology or a survey of what is happening in the market. It is a biannual opinion on technologies and practices with which Thoughtworkers have experience from the work we do with our clients," says Camilla. 

We solve complex real-world business problems and this ultimately triggers innovation – primarily on how to solve these complex problems. For this reason, we are often the cradle of practices and techniques, or the first to apply new technologies in the most diverse contexts. No wonder our people have active roles as thought leaders, having published more than 100 books in different languages. 

"Some subjects began as blips on the Radar and show the tone of the technology industry today. Infrastructure as code first appeared in January 2011 and Kief Morris, Infrastructure Delivery Architect at Thoughtworks, published a book on the same topic in 2016. This makes me very proud to work at Thoughtworks because we change the way the industry makes software", Camilla concludes.

This year’s Tech Journey Open will take place on Thursday, Sept. 8, 2022 at Beaver Creek Golf Course with a 10:00 a.m. shotgun start. Last year’s inaugural event raised over $19,600. This money was used to support the Tech Journey organization as a whole and also provide Tech Camp scholarships to nine high school seniors.

Tech Camp is an immersive summer program focused on educating, inspiring and connecting individuals from traditionally underrepresented groups in the tech space with local professionals. The weeklong camp has different learning tracks covering a range of technology topics such as software development, hardware and physical computing and web development and media.

Tech Journey Executive Director, Tim Sieber, said, “Tech Camp provides a really unique opportunity for central Iowa students to learn about opportunities within the technology industry. Our goal is to engage and support students from traditionally underserved populations within the tech industry including females, minority groups and those with socioeconomic challenges. The money raised from the Tech Journey Open helps us further students’ interest in technology-related fields. It’s really amazing to watch as these students uncover passions and interests they didn’t know existed and build confidence in an area they may not have focused on previously.”

Des Moines-based Lean TECHniques, a software and IT consultancy, is the presenting sponsor and main organizer of the Tech Journey Open. Danielle Brommer, Lean TECHniques Partner, said, “Tech Journey is such an important organization in our community. Through their work, they’re opening doors for students who otherwise might not get the chance to learn that they have a passion for technology. We know that the best solutions come when you can bring people together who have different backgrounds and perspectives. And as an employer, we want to have as diverse of a workforce as possible. Tech Journey is helping inspire the next generation and connect them with organizations like ours who can support, mentor and, ideally one day, even hire them. We’re excited to see what impact we can make for Tech Journey as we come together with others in the Iowa tech community to support such a great cause.”
