For our next insightful session, we are thrilled to host Radek Orszewski, a distinguished Lean Agile Coach & Consultant, as our special guest. Together, we will explore the critical and often overlooked topic of "Recognizing and Managing Cognitive Load."
In the demanding world of IT, cognitive load may significantly influence specialists in the industry. But what exactly is cognitive load? How can we effectively spot it, and more importantly, how do we get to the core of the problem to handle it? In this session we will dive into real-life examples of cognitive load and its impact, providing insight into how it may cause burnout and employee churn. This is an important discussion from the perspective of every employee, and an extremely vital one for team leaders and company management seeking to foster healthier, more productive environments.
We'll also touch upon the fascinating topic of how the popularization of Generative AI tools may change cognitive load, and how this relates to the evolving idea of a "10x developer."
This is a unique opportunity to gain a broader perspective on mental well-being in the tech industry and empower yourself with the knowledge to make informed decisions for a more sustainable and effective work life.
