So very good afternoon to all the lovely ladies here. I am Yashu Kapila, CU@bugrafters, a software testing company, which is based in India.I to thank this global conference 2024 to give me this opportunity to speak among all of you. I'll be speaking about adaptability is leaders virtue for success. We understand that power of vision and goal in running any organization. But it is important that we're changing demand and needs as leaders. We are always finding balance between the vision and the goals that we have set for ourselves and our organization and to accommodate ourselves with the constant changing market needs. So adaptability is the key which sails us through this and helps us find balance between both of these parameters. There's an essential connection between adaptability and achieving success. Adaptability means adjusting to new conditions effectively responding to change. For leaders, adaptability involves flexibility, and the willingness by which we continuously evolve with the shifting environments.

In this ever changing world, leaders must possess the ability to navigate uncertainty keep on driving innovation and inspire our teams to being adaptable. Also, adaptability can heavily contribute towards a leader's success. It can as leaders, it can help us in enhanced decision making. Leaders who are adaptable demonstrate ability to make well informed decisions even in uncertain uncertain circumstances. Second is increased team engagement. The more adaptable we are, the more adaptable team we can come up with. It by the by being adaptable, we can create a team which feels empowered. They're able to contribute the innovate and with us, they adapt towards the new challenges. This way, we can achieve higher level of engagement and productivity. Last but not the least, the sustainable organizational growth organizations which are led by adaptable leaders are better positioned to navigate through the dynamic environments and sustain a success for the organization.

As leaders, it's also important for us to cultivate the right culture and motivate the teams towards towards being adaptable. Few of the strategies which can help us in setting the stage right. First, I would might be mentioning is embrace continuous learning. As leaders, we should prioritize continuous learning, ensuring that we and our teams remain updated with the latest technology trends and the emerging technologies. 2nd would be cultivate an environment of adaptability. We should be encouraging an open communication plan form. We keep on experimenting, learning from the failures within the organization to encourage adaptability at all levels. Most important is lead by example. Set an example of adaptability in your leadership style by being open to change actively seeking feedback from your peers, your juniors, everyone, setting up an open environment, and taking up challenges as opportunities for growth.

One of the most important point, otherwise, will be empower your team, delegate authority in power team members to make decisions and adapt to changing circumstances independently. Software industry has evolved significantly. And here, I would like to demonstrate how we have survived through this changing software test and testing era. And kept us adapt and adaptability has helped helped us and survived this. Software testing has evolved significantly from manual testing era. Shifting to automation testing, then to agile, then emergence of test automation frameworks, shifting to shift left testing and now adoption of AIML in testing. So if you're testing industry, continuously evolving response to changing technology, trends, methodologies, and to cater this ever changing industry. We as leaders have to be adaptable enough. In response to this ever changing market, ever changing needs, we we gradually evolved setting up various center of excellence at bar rafters so that we are able to cater different market needs and take different changing trends, such as various kind of automations of, center of excellence, functional test, center of excellence, security performance and lately, the EIML.

I'll take a pause here and try to look at the questions, if any. Thank you, Maheshwari, for sharing your link. I'll definitely be connecting with you. Okay, guys. So I'll try to continue here. I mistakenly stopped sharing. Yeah. So we were here where we were talking about setting up center of excellence in order to cater the changing needs. Now technology plays a crucial role in in enabling Adaptive leadership by providing them tools and insights that facilitate decision making. AI, data analytics, emerging technologies coming into picture, have become important tools to survive this ever changing era of technology in order to remain in par we have developed certain in house proprietary tools so that we are running with the times. So few of them are bug bot, raptor bot, raptor vision.

These tools, they are AI enabled, automation tools, which automate the complex a a complex test task, enhance the testing procedures, hence reducing efforts and improving efficiency. These tools basically help us go decrease the go to market time. However, I understand amidst all these challenges and our ability to adapt. It's inevitable to encounter some challenges. So few of them are uncertainty. Adapting to new situations means dealing with uncertainty. 2nd is comfort zone. People may be resistant to this change and prefer to stay in comfort zones. Then as resource constraints which we all as leaders know that we keep on facing the other every other day. Sometimes adapting to new circumstances may also require resources that are not readily available. And then our culture barriers, adapting new situations may involve navigating cultural differences.

However, facing challenges, heads on, opens door, open doors to the new opportunities, waiting to be discovered. In overcoming challenges, we uncover the hidden pathways to future opportunities such as innovation. Adapting to change often's first innovation because as individuals or organizations, we try to seek solution to these challenges and come up with new innovations. 2nd is learning and growth. Constant challenges, constant changes, sper the need of new learning and growth in which the personal and professional growth is taken care of. That way, the individuals can develop new skills. Next is resilience, successfully adapting to change builds the ability to bounce back from setbacks. Most important is competitive edge. Organizations that are adaptable can gain a competitive advantage in their industries, and they can stay ahead of competition.

Overall, while the adaptability presents its changes, it also offers numerous opportunities of growth. Innovation and success. Embracing adaptability as a mindset can help individuals and organizations to thrive in this ever changing world. I would try to wrap up by mentioning that as leaders, we should embrace change and evolve continuously. Adaptability guides our journey, keeping this successful in today's dynamic and fast paced work. I would also say that swift adoption is the key. So let's remain optimistic ladies and navigate success in this ever changing landscape together. I would also like to add a code here which really goes in sync with the topic we discussed the greater danger in times of turbulence is not the turbulence.

It is the acting with yesterday's logic. Thank you so much, guys. We are open for question answers now. Sure, Sarah. I will be doing that. I'll be sharing. Thank you for asking. Any other topic, guys, you would like to discuss around this? We we can this can be a open discussion form. Thanks. Thank you guys. Thank you for attending. Thank you. It was nice interacting with you guys. Thank you so much for your
