How to maximize your tech team ROI (or really any team)

I want to discuss how to maximize your tech team ROI. As we all know, tech teams are super valuable and provide some of the key competitive edge for any business. I've been in technology my whole life both as an electrical engineer and marketer and want to share some perspectives. But much of this applies to any team not just tech.

Some experiences I will draw upon:

** Things I learned on the Goldman Sach's CIO's team to foster collaboration for a large enterprise

** What led to Target's tech turnaround and helped them compete and thrive in a crowded retail space

** Some lessons learned at BacklotCars; how we grew the company 114x in 4 years and sold for $425M

I want to touch upon:

** Optimal team alignment and structure

** Creating sense of ownership

** Avoiding disaster and keeping a level head personally and professionally when things go off the rails

** Fostering creativity, innovation, and teams

** Blocking and tackling -- what are the basics
