Oregon Founders Study - Findings

Here's a great opportunity to learn from other startups.
PSU professor Charla Mathwick received feedback from more than 150 founders in the 2013 Oregon Founders Study. She has synthesized the results down to four distinct strategies reflected in the sample from the study across a range of 9 potential value proposition strategies. The results provide guidance regarding how to evaluate where a particular firm falls and what a founder might consider doing to strengthen his or her value proposition.
Charla would like to summarize these findings and get some direct founder feedback. The discussion will be relevant to any founder -- regardless of whether they participated in the study.
When: Feb. 20, 2014, 10am-11am
Where: OTBC, 8305 SW Creekside Pl, Beaverton, OR, 97008

Building Highly Engaged Technical Teams
Roll back
| description |
The DAMA Portland Chapter is dedicated to delivering thought provoking data-centric presentations that will make you more successful in your job. Coming this month on 21Jan, the DAMA Portland Chapter will be hosting Paul Spencer on the topic of ‘Building Highly Engaged Technical Teams’ at Cambia Health Solutions in downtown Portland.
Register at: http://www.damapdx.org/
<b>Summary</b><br>
Technical team leaders are often highly trained in their chosen field. But they're also often not trained in how to lead a team. They know that leadership is just as important as the technical side of the job (if not more so), but they've been left to figure out how to do it for themselves. They're frustrated because they haven't got the toolkit they need to get the best out of their team.
To build a truly exceptional technical team, you need to do three things: engage them, enable them, and energize them. In this interactive presentation, we’ll cover the following topics:
· The benefits of having a highly engaged team
· How to engage, enable, and energize your project team
· Aligning the team on communication styles and workplace values
· Empowering the team through servant leadership
· Creating and sustaining a culture of high performance
· Building performance drivers into the daily experience
· Simple techniques for maintaining momentum
<b>Schedule</b><br>
8:30 - 9:00 am - Sign In / Refreshments<br>
9:00 - 10:15 am - Presentation <br>
10:15 - 10:30 am - Break, Chapter Announcements <br>
10:30 - 11:30 am - Presentation continued <br>
Free for members! <br>
$15 for guests <br>
See web site for the list of our corporate members
Note: We have received feedback that registering on the DAMA site is not as easy as it could be, given the need to create an account on the site. Alternative: If you encounter difficulties registering on the site, it is sufficient to send an email to [email protected]. |

ANNOUNCEMENT: PLEASE NOTE CHANGE OF LOCATION: In order to accommodate more registrants, we are moving January 2014 DAMA event to another DOWNTOWN location. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. Looking forward to seeing you all and a great interactive presentation!

Nerd Nite Vancouver #1 – The Neuroscience of Pleasure and Love
Roll back
| description |

We have a new location in Vancouver, WA! Our first event is:
Nerd Nite Vancouver #1 – Lust, Chocolate and Prairie Voles: The Neuroscience of Pleasure and Love
Nerd Nite is a monthly event that strives for an inebriated, salacious, yet deeply academic vibe. We aim to entertain, educate, elucidate, enlighten, and other things that start with “e.” Be there and be square!
When: Wednesday, February 12, 2014, doors at 6:00pm, event at 7:00pm
Where: Kiggins Theater, 1011 Main Street, Vancouver, WA
Cost: $8.00 suggested cover at the door
Come early if you want to order food and drinks and get a good seat!
Is the brain chemistry behind our love for chocolate equivalent to that which drives infatuation with a new lover, the love of a particular song, or addiction? How does the brain sort out pleasure and discomfort? What drives our decisions to stay with one person for life or go from one lover to another, never settling down? This Nerd Nite will focus on these and other questions that reveal much about how neurochemical changes can have major effects on our behaviors—how we love, what we love, and who we love.
Dr. Larry Sherman is a Professor of Cell and Developmental Biology and Neuroscience at OHSU. He was identified as someone who is "Changing our World" by Portland Monthly Magazine and the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry, and he was awarded OHSU Teacher of the Year in 2012.
_________
*A note on the suggested cover: Nerd Nite is completely supported by money collected at the door. We are committed to offering education opportunities to adults who want to learn, so if $8 is a hardship for you, please come anyway and donate what you can. |

Nerd Nite Portland #12 – Then and Now: The Transformation of Portland Landscapes
Roll back
| description |
nil |
→ |
Nerd Nite is a monthly event that strives for an inebriated, salacious, yet deeply academic vibe. We aim to entertain, educate, elucidate, enlighten, and other things that start with “e.” Be there and be square.
When: Tuesday, February 4, 2014, doors at 6:00pm, event at 7:00pm
Where: Mission Theater, 1624 NW Glisan, Portland
Cost: $8.00* suggested cover at the door
This Nerd Nite will feature two excellent talks:
The Willamette River: A History of Sediment and Change
The Willamette River is one of the most important geological features of this area. With no river, no port. And with no port, no Portland. The river has undergone huge changes since the arrival of settlers and cities. Yet throughout the taming the river by building sea walls, the dredging and channeling to facilitate shipping, and the 100+ years of dumping toxins and waste, the Willamette is still a living river with birds and fish and people who dependent on it. Keith Johnson, Manager of the DEQ Northwest Region Cleanup Program, and Kevin Parrett, NWR Cleanup Section Manager at the DEQ, will give us a visual history of the Willamette and how the river and the city have changed each other.
The Subsurface History of Portland
People have been moving the earth around in the Portland Metro area to suit our needs since the earliest days of urban habitation, and this history of cutting and filling impacts many aspects of living and working in the city. Engineer Stuart Albright from Apex Companies will present historic maps and photos of Portland that he uses to evaluate the location and extent of the earthwork and landfilling that has shaped this area. He will also share the history of the locations of some of the largest historic fills, such as Asylum Creek, Guilds Lake, Tanner Creek, and Marquam Gulch, and how those landscapes affect us today.

[Reserve a seat](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/refreshpdx-get-what-you-give-building-a-business-with-heart-tickets-10107775629)
Generosity is a touchy feely word often reserved for the non-profits and charities. But what does it look like to build a profitable business that values generosity? How can we create businesses that facilitate exuberant giving?
In Get What You Give, Mara will share examples of how your brand can succeed with two verbs alone: ask and offer. Through some exercises we’ll explore the many qualities of any ask and offer, and how they can serve entrepreneurs and customers alike.
All attendees will receive one dollar and a personalized zine on the gift economy.
Our Presenter, Mara Zepeda
Mara Zepeda is the CEO and co-founder of [Switchboard](http://switchboardhq.com/), a business that arose from solving her own problem, and bootstrapped by designing tattoos. Switchboard is a community-building classifieds platform. On it, members of private networks ask for what they need and offer what they have to give. There are only two types of posts: ask and offer. Switchboard is being used by colleges, summer camps, non-profits, investors, and many other communities that are sick of wading through social feeds, monitoring groups and pages, and ignoring listservs.
Switchboard is part of Wieden+Kennedy’s Portland Incubator Experiment. |

Agile PDX Evening: AWG - A Sustainable Engine of Agile Enterprise Transformation
Roll back
| description |
Jorgen Hesselberg's talk covers the critical role, practical responsibilities and tangible deliverables of the Agile Working Group (AWG), a dedicated set of internal Agile people responsible for driving a sustainable transformation of Agile at the enterprise level. He draws from practical, real-world experiences from McAfee, Nokia and other leading companies transforming how they work and creating products that delight the customer. In this presentation, Jorgen will share ideas that can be applied immediately to any large organization considering Agile.
Bio: Jorgen is the Director of Agile Enterprise Transformation at McAfee. He has more than fifteen years of experience in creating organizational environments that generate end-to-end business value and is passionate about making the world a better place to work through agile, Lean and complex systems thinking. Prior to McAfee, Jorgen was heading the enterprise transformation efforts at NAVTEQ, Nokia and Nokia Xpress. He is a frequent speaker at international conferences, author of several white papers and the Director of Agile Alliance’s Supporting Agile Adoption program. |

It is a common pattern for advocates of any kind (Agile, Quality, Process Improvement methods, Waterfall, etc.) to start off banging a drum with almost religious zealotry. “This is the way to achieve quality products!” “Follow me or be cast aside!” I have certainly done this and many of the change agents and forward thinkers I respect in the industry have struggled with this as well in their careers. However, riding a train of dogmatic viewpoints and practices has, in many cases, ruined the original efforts of change agents and more tragically, created bad patterns of development. This presentation (also presented at the Pacific Northwest Software Quality Conference earlier this year) will explore how we can clarify our intentions and work towards creating an environment where the people involved are empowered to think and experiment but still march in the same general direction. As product development becomes more and more complex, different approaches are needed to get to the right outcome and we can no longer afford to apply rigid methods that worked for a simpler environment. This presentation will help the audience think critically about where they are being too dogmatic in their efforts while introducing some new ways of thinking around complex adaptive systems and complex product development. The full paper written for this conference presentation can be found here: http://www.uploads.pnsqc.org/2013/papers/t-095_Stadick_paper.pdf
Our Speaker:
Rhea Stadick is an Organizational Coach at Intel, Corp. She has spent the last eight years in software quality and development of engineering teams. Today she helps organizations across her company develop cultures and competencies to create thriving work environments that support excellence in product development. She received her B.S. in Computer Science from Oregon State University and M.B.A. from Willamette University. For the past several years she has organized the Rose City Software Process Improvement Network (SPIN) in the Portland-metro area that gathers professionals in the area to learn and network.
