Inspired by the collaborative, team approach used at CERN for addressing scientific and technical challenges, you will be working in pairs with your colleague to build a “detector proxy” device. The closest we can get to a particle detector in the short time we’ll have, is to construct and code a motion sensitive home burglar alarm from scratch as a learning vignette.
As the senior manager, you will be placed in a situation where you are working together with someone (hopefully) more junior person on a topic where that person is more knowledgeable. Often, senior managers experience difficulties in understanding their more technical colleagues - and vice versa. Senior managers do not need to know how to code but they need to be able to make their ideas understood to those who can execute them as well as to understand the boundaries of what is possible with technology.
