Make haste slowly: from antiquity to AIWednesday 1st July 2026, 6:30 pm. Speaker: Seb Rose – consultant, coach, trainer, analyst, and developer for over 40 years.
Refreshments and networking from 6:00 pm. This event is free of charge and open to all, though registration is required - you may not get past venue security if you do not register in advance. SynopsisIf I asked you whether outputs or outcomes were more important, which would you choose? My guess (and hope) is that you’d choose outcomes. If I asked you to characterise your employer’s preference, perhaps you’d feel that they talk a lot about outcomes (confidence, satisfaction, quality), but seem to value outputs (features, releases, sales) more. In this session, I will explore the ancient paradox of making haste slowly, from the construction of prehistoric stone circles through to software development using agentic AI. I hope that I’ll be able to convince you that, even though the building of Stonehenge may seem to have nothing in common with pressure for you to use Claude Code, an aspiration to “do something well” is an essential prerequisite for delivering successful outcomes affordably in both contexts. I’ll go further to argue that to “do something well” some sort of living specification is required to drive the work that’s being done. About the speaker
