Coming in 2021 : Taptu Masterclasses

We’ve been listening to you; and we’ve heard the things you want from us most...

...so in 2021, Taptu will package our accumulated digital strategy, design, technical skills and experiences as training for high performance teams and businesses. 

TL;DR: In early 2021 we're launching professional education masterclasses. Our first short course will be Modern Digital Product Delivery. Contact us for info.

How did our education offering emerge?

Many of you will remember that in mid-2020 Naomi joined our team in a dedicated customer engagement role. Our initial intention was to better connect with each of you, listening, learning and responding to what you want from us most as a business.

Well since then we’ve collected, distilled and interpreted so many great insights, which have been shaping our forward planning and development for 2021.

But some of the most consistent feedback took the form of:

• We love what you do for our business, having you deliver on our behalf, or partnering with our teams; but so much of your knowledge is never replayed beyond its point of application. We wish we could access the same knowledge as information in a more persistent way.
• We love what you share with us, but we're not always ready to on-board some lessons and facts. Sometimes we would love to incorporate knowledge at a time and place of our choosing, rather than during an in-flight project.

So, like any business that values continuous improvement, we listened, heard, reflected and responded.

Does this mesh with the rest of your business?

Yes it does. Our vision has always been to inspire others, as we strive to build the technological capacity and potential of South Australia, now and into the future. 

Our two business brands approach this in their own unique ways.

Taptu applies digital experts with flexibility and precision; augmenting teams so they can grow, evolve, and ultimately realise signature outcomes for their businesses.

Head Full of Heart seeks to augment teams with young professionals, enhancing value, sustainability, opportunity and outcome; in doing so, also build meaningful careers for our next generation of experts, leaders, and innovators.

Similarly, both brands contribute heavily in the tertiary sector, as well as supporting the formation of professional technical communities.

So, while we might not have seen this eventuality when we began our journey, in truth it simply represents an organic and natural evolution of our business based on our vision and accumulated abilities. This addition will allow us to extend our reach, while still allowing us to remain a small, tight-knit and well regarded team.

What will we be offering?

Our first offering will be Modern Digital Product Delivery. This will be made up of modules of content, allowing us to equally target executives, leaders, start-up founders, enterprise architects, product owners, project and portfolio managers and their software delivery teams. It has been tuned for start-ups and scale-ups, all the way through to commercial, enterprise and Government agencies.

As part of this training we'll be drawing on our real world experiences to connect together and position the key industry techniques you already know, ranging from Product Lifecycle, Agile, LEAN, Design Thinking, Kaizen, Genchi Genbutsu, Enterprise Architecture, Investment Strategy and Enterprise Portfolio & Change.

We'll also make the content very real and practical by using our own bespoke software as a reference example, as well as the product management practices and tooling we use in their construction and evolution.

We are currently in the process of delivering this content in the form of closed pre-release sessions, ensuring we have a refined product. We then intend to open it up in 2021, first to existing clients, then to the broader market.

We also have ... actually, not so fast ... I'm not going to give the whole game away here!

Instead follow us, wait and see.
