When people ask me, "Why haven't you left the Atlassian ecosystem in 16 years?" the answer is simple: The Atlassian ecosystem is friendly, a safe place to grow professionally, and incredibly diverse. This diversity makes it a unique environment to learn about other cultures or simply understand different perspectives. Diversity in all its forms is something I am passionate about because I genuinely believe that knowing, accepting, and trying to understand different ways of seeing the world makes us better people. And being better people makes us better professionals. That's why this year, when we were planning The Deiser Connection, our team agreed to showcase the unique characteristics of Atlassian's implementations across different systems of work around the world. We have more in the pipeline, but for now, I leave you with these three episodes where you can listen to Solution Partners from Hungary, the United States, and Spain talking about their business (the implementation of systems of work around Atlassian) in their regions. Don't miss it! Special thanks to our guests for participating and being open to share.  Attila GASPAR and Tibor Hegyi from META-INF | Atlassian Double Platinum Partner Thad West from Isos Technology Guillermo Montoya and Nuria Garcia from Deiser | We drive your success with Atlassian And also thanks to Federico Baronti for make it possible!

Workday is growing!

I recently reached 3 years at Atlassian which have absolutely flown by! Just thought I'd share some of my top learnings...so far: 1️⃣ 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐠𝐚𝐦𝐞: In my consulting days, clients would often only keep you around until shortly after deal close. In my first year at Atlassian, I saw what was actually happening on the ground 1-2 years later. I remember thinking, 'if only I knew this before, I would have done things differently on my old projects'. So before we close a deal, we try and make decisions that will lay the right foundations for employees to thrive at Atlassian longer term 2️⃣ 𝐁𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐭: Some of the hardest parts of M&A is navigating the human element, particularly when you're in the pressure cooker of the deal process. So it's critical to build trust through strong leader relationships and transparent employee communications. Not everyone is going to like everything you do on a deal, and so the only way to keep momentum through tougher moments is having a strong foundation of mutual trust that you're trying to achieve the best possible outcomes 3️⃣ 𝐊𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐮𝐩: I joined Atlassian when it was 5k people, now we're 12k people! That means the world we bring acquisitions into looks very different each time. We must regularly tap into our partnerships across the business and CoEs to keep up with the latest developments and adapt our M&A playbooks accordingly. That way we can ensure we're bringing the very best of Atlassian to every deal 4️⃣ 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐱𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐤𝐞𝐲: In M&A sometimes you have to break stuff. The stakes are high and sometimes you need to favour progress over perfection and make some hard calls (on both sides). That can often mean things look slightly different for M&A employees compared to BAU. Therefore it's important to invest time early in the integration process to share context and the rationale behind deal decisions to help the business and their support teams accommodate the nuances of M&A cohorts in way that is fair and equitable to all 5️⃣ 𝐑𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭: It was a strange experience onboarding remotely during lockdown. Now Atlassian has fully embraced distributed work and I can't remember what life was like before! Atlassian has proven we can maintain employee productivity and connectedness as a distributed company, so we strive to do the same in M&A. Our practices, tools and rituals are set up to be remote first, and we've proven we can still achieve great people outcomes on deals that way. We also have the option of intentional F2F opportunities at specific deal moments to achieve specific outcomes. Holistically it gives us far greater flexibility in what we deliver and how we deliver it to meet the unique needs of each deal Finally, I've always said you're only as good as your team. To the M&A team and our countless collaborators at Atlassian, thank you for always bringing Good Vibes Only (our team mantra) #atlassian #mergersandacquisitions #atlassianpeopleteam

I could not be more energized after a phenomenal 2024 Partner Kick Off! After stepping off stage, our theme of Momentum really hit home for me, both personally and professionally. I walked into the spotlight today more confident than I’ve ever been and it’s because our journey here was not happenstance; it was the result of active, purposeful decisions. Those decisions weren’t always easy, they didn’t always come quickly or without sacrifice. But standing in front of our partners and spotlighting the incredible progress we’ve made, as well as the roadmap of bigger and better things to come; I have to say, watching the pieces come together made every part of the process worth it. For me, looking back at what it took to build this momentum and find balance along the way, centers on a few key truths: • I’m not alone. Making progress, be it personal or professional, can only happen because I’m surrounded by some of the brightest, most innovative minds I’ve had the pleasure to lead or follow in my career. To everyone who contributed on the journey to this moment…thank you. • Sometimes to find balance, you have to be out of balance. Making peace with that, giving myself the grace to go out of balance sometimes, is a game changer. • I love what I do. And I really do mean that - I love this work, getting to make a tangible difference, watching our decisions and actions make an impact so quickly. The hard work and long days energize me to be more present and excited in my personal life, as well. And there are no doubt some long days (and nights ahead). But last week, I made a commitment with my team to attend 100% of partner events during SKO. Even if we’re double-, triple-booked, even if we’re tired. Why? Because, partners, you showed up. Because you invested time and effort to be here, and continuing the momentum we’ve built together means showing you that your investment will always be matched by our own. If you show up, so will I. If you invest, so will we. Because for us to succeed, we need you. Part of putting action behind our words is keeping a close, active connection between our teams and our partners. That’s why I announced from stage that we have just launched a new ServiceNow Partners LinkedIn page, for all of us to come together and grow together. I hope you don’t just follow the page, but you get involved. It is your involvement that will make the difference.   This is a week full of announcements - today alone we made 42 announcements from stage during PKO, including important steps in our joint GenAI story. That might be too many to list here, but I can’t help but call attention to our Specializations unveiled this morning. https://lnkd.in/g4UkX7Bv I will tell you what I told every partner and colleague from stage today: The momentum we’ve built is incredible, but our journey together has only just begun.

Building connections and alignment at Google! 🎉 Last week, Elisabeth and I facilitated a one-day summit for a large team of Product Managers at Google. It was energizing to see this team, who hadn't come together in person before, build connections and lay the groundwork for 2024. And, given it was a hybrid event with many people in the room and a handful on video conference, I was delighted by the inclusive nature of how organizers and participants brought everyone together through breakouts, chats, and interactions. Thank you Shivani Govil and Mwende Gitaari for inviting Regroup to support you and your team. We are grateful for the opportunity, and I'm so inspired by the leadership you both are bringing to develop this organization. A huge thank you to my colleagues, Tom Burke, for facilitating an excellent storytelling skill-building workshop and Elisabeth Bertram, MACP, MSOD, ACC for being such a great collaborator. 🙌 When you're part of a distributed team, working in a fast-paced, dynamic, and complex environment you can go further faster by building relationships, aligning on vision, clarifying shared workstreams, and building critical skills. If you could use help designing and facilitating a team summit -- and increase the impact and ROI with less effort -- reach out! We'd love to help! 🌟 #TeamDevelopment, #ProductManagement
