This episode is unlike any other as we discuss a rarely broached subject: Technical Due Diligence (TDD). Ever wondered how TDD can spotlight potential challenges and also reveal gaps in your organization? Well, the answer lies in a place you might not have looked into: People.

🔹 People are the core of every organization. But do we ever pause to ponder some crucial questions related to them, especially during a technical due diligence?
🔹 Are your teams primed with the requisite experience for the challenges ahead?
🔹 Is your leadership structure robust enough to guide your organization to its envisioned future?
🔹 How well do your teams collaborate, ensuring efficiency and harmony?

Chris Philipps, a leading authority in European TDD and the Founder & Managing Partner of Philipps & Byrne, joins us to shed light on these questions. With over 500 TDD projects under his belt and a decade as an Interim CTO, Chris brings an unparalleled perspective to the table. 🌟

🎤 Which queries about team dynamics are critical during a TDD?
🎤 Chris's golden advice for founders about hiring and shaping their teams?
