Normalize Your Team: Working Genius IS the Primary Key
by Mitch Bliven | at Minnebar20
Most technology organizations optimize their development pipelines, yet few remove the friction from how work moves through their people. Bad systems don't scale and if your human architecture isn't intentionally designed, even the best software architecture will suffer from stalled decisions.
This session unpacks the Working Genius framework as a relational schema for your team. We will identify the invisible bottlenecks between the first spark and final implementation, aligning your teamโs natural energy with your release cadence to eliminate deployment friction.
Join us to learn how to debug your team dynamics and take home a framework to:
๐ ๐ฎ๐ฝ ๐ฆ๐๐๐๐ฒ๐บ ๐ฉ๐๐น๐ป๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ฏ๐ถ๐น๐ถ๐๐ถ๐ฒ๐: Know where your personal and organizational blind spots are before you initiate a project, so you avoid the misfires that slow down execution.
๐๐ฒ๐ณ๐ถ๐ป๐ฒ ๐ฌ๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐๐ฒ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ป๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ป๐ฐ๐ถ๐ฒ๐: Create clear ownership and intent to synchronize execution and eliminate the waste of rework and delay.
๐ข๐ฝ๐๐ถ๐บ๐ถ๐๐ฒ ๐ง๐ต๐ฟ๐ผ๐๐ด๐ต๐ฝ๐๐: Aligning roles to how people naturally think and contribute reduces burnout while increasing output and accountability.
You'll leave with a concrete mental model to stop relying on unstructured, high-friction collaboration, and start treating your team's dynamics with the same architectural rigor as your codebase.
I am sharing this framework because it is the tool I used five years ago to re-engineer my own career. Making the transition from a W-2 employee to founding a business is never easy, but Working Genius made it possible.

His path started in social work, then moved to the private sector where he found a passion for using data to solve problems. Unfortunately this did not stop him from being entirely burned out. After eight years he was introduced to Working Genius which led him to discover that his natural gift of curiosity wasn't a nuisance, but his greatest professional strength.
Today, Mitch combines a human-centric perspective with data-driven rigor to design high-performing collaborative teams. Through the Working Genius framework, he helps organizations identify where team friction originates, align people to their natural strengths, and build communication systems that accelerate execution.
