Brendan Marsh: Operationalising Strategy with Bets & Flight Levels

In October, the Melboure Business Agility Meetup welcomes Brendan Marsh to discuss how you can **Operationalising Strategy with Bets & Flight Levels (feat ABC & Spotify)** *Why this is important:* Big bloated 'Agile' frameworks are out, but the challenge remains - how do we coordinate 10s or 100s of teams towards a central portfolio level product strategy? Using experience as a coach at Spotify and the ABC as a recent consulting case study, Brendan will demonstrate a simple model for aligning teams to strategy without the need of big frameworks like SAFE *About Brendan:* Brendan Marsh is a Product & Org Advisor and Director at Organa, where he helps organisations improve product strategy, org design and execution at scale. He previously served as Chief Product Officer of a mental health non-profit and spent five years at Spotify during its hyper-growth phase, first as an Agile Coach supporting innovation and product discovery teams and later as a Product Manager responsible for the Mac and Windows clients (40M+ MAU). Thanks to TeamForm, our event sponsor for providing a great place to meet and refreshments. Look at [teamform](https://teamform.co/) for operating product organisations with 10s, 100s, and 1000s of teams.

The Big Turkish Brunch at Mint & Co.

Join me for a long, lazy Sunday brunch at Mint & Co. in Carlton, where we'll be tucking into The Big Turkish Brunch. Mint & Co. is a Dubai-inspired restaurant and lounge serving Middle Eastern food with a modern Australian twist, with an open outdoor dining area under a retractable roof. The Big Turkish Brunch is their spread made for sharing and picking at slowly over a couple of hours — exactly the kind of meal that's better with company. We'll meet outside the Mint & Co. gates at 12:15pm, say hello, then head in together and get seated around 12:30pm. From there it's good food, easy conversation, and no rush. We'll wrap up around 2:00pm, and anyone who wants to keep the afternoon going is welcome to stay on. I'll book one table for the group based on RSVP numbers, so please only RSVP if you genuinely plan to come — and update it if your plans change. Everyone orders and pays for their own food and drinks on the day. **Who this is for** * Anyone who enjoys good food and a relaxed, chatty table * People curious about Turkish and Middle Eastern flavours * Newcomers to Melbourne looking to meet people over a meal * Coming on your own? Absolutely welcome — plenty of people do, and it's a very easy group to slot into **Links** * Meetup start point: https://maps.app.goo.gl/JrH2KZnSm4sMXwHeA * The Big Turkish Brunch: https://www.mintandco.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/The-Big-Turkish-Brunch-2026-Optimised.pdf * Mint & Co.: https://www.mintandco.com.au/ **Timeline** * 12:15pm – Meet outside the Mint & Co. gates and say hi * 12:30pm – Head in and get seated for The Big Turkish Brunch (or anything else you'd like to have) * Around 2:00pm – Meetup ends **Cost** * Everyone orders and pays for their own food and drinks directly with Mint & Co. on the day * Have a look at the brunch menu linked above so you know what you're in for * A Meetup RSVP is not a ticket or a prepaid meal — it just tells me how many seats to book **Transport** * Mint & Co. is at 62 University Street, Carlton, a short walk from the University of Melbourne end of the city * Trams along Swanston Street and Lygon Street will get you close — plan your trip with PTV on the day, as Sunday services can be less frequent * There is some street parking around Carlton, but it's limited and time-restricted in places, so please check the signs carefully. Allow extra time if you're driving **Bring** * An appetite * Your Myki or a parking plan * Any dietary requirements you'd like to flag — mention them to the staff when we sit down **Expect** * Difficulty: None, it's brunch * Pace: Slow and relaxed, around 90 minutes at the table * Vibe: Warm, casual and social * Group style: Friendly and low-pressure, easy to join solo **Important notes** * This is a casual social meetup arranged so we can go along together. It isn't run by, affiliated with, or endorsed by Mint & Co. * I'll be booking one table based on RSVP numbers, so if your plans change please update your RSVP so numbers stay accurate * Please arrive on time. If you're running late, we'll already be seated inside — just come in and find us * Table availability and the brunch offering are up to Mint & Co. on the day, so I can't guarantee specifics of the menu * Please be respectful of the venue and follow any instructions from their staff Looking forward to a good feed and good company. See you there!

Set menu at Harriot

Harriot is a chic European bistro in the same restaurant group as Tipo 00. It offers a sophisticated yet relaxed "bistronomy" experience with wood-fired dishes, seasonal French-leaning cuisine and an extensive wine list. I have booked for 6 Fine Diners to enjoy the seasonal set menu menu at $130 per person for dinner from 6.30pm on Thursday 1 October. Check out the winter menu here - https://www.harriotmelbourne.com/menu (please note that they may switch to a spring menu by this date and I don’t know if that will vary the price slightly or not). Join the waitlist to express interest. After the first day or so of posting, once I have names in the waitlist, I’ll send you a ‘Meetup Message’ to confirm you have a spot and how to pay. You’ll need to send me $50 to secure your place (equivalent to the cancellation fee - this will be deducted from your bill when we settle up). Once paid I’ll move you from the waitlist to ‘Attending’. As these are small group events, there are often more Fine Diners interested than there are seats available. My approach to hosting an event is to share seats around amongst members of the group in as fair a manner as I can, including mixing Fine Diners regulars with newcomers. Please be respectful if there are events when you miss out on a spot. I will always message you so you know if you have secured a seat or are still waitlisted in case a seat opens up. Please check that you don’t have your settings blocking messages; if I can’t contact you, I’ll have to move on to the next person. Also if you don’t respond to my message offering you a spot within 3 days, I’ll let you know that I’m offering the seat to another person on the waitlist. 

Thanks Fine Diners and I look forward to trying the set menu at Harriot with you
