nFocus Testing

Today is the day; the nFocus brand has officially been retired and we move forwards into 2026 as 2i. I cried when Ryan and Danny first told me nFocus had been acquired. I cried because I absolutely loved what we had built at nFocus and who we were as a business and I was really quite scared that becoming part of a larger business would mean we lost what made us special. Thankfully and to great relief, I was very quickly proved wrong as we were welcomed with open arms into 2i and it didn't take long at all for me to realise we had found truly kindred folk and the goodness wouldn't be lost but instead amplified. I am truly excited to see what we achieve in 2026 together and would like to take a moment to thank everyone at both nFocus and 2i for supporting the integration and me personally through 2025.

Legacy governance, testing and delivery models simply aren’t built for that. To deploy AI safely, departments need modern oversight, updated assurance, and end-to-end thinking. 👉Read the final bite-sized blog: https://lnkd.in/eH2pVW_U 📘 Explore the full white paper: https://lnkd.in/e4aXFpWq

🎙️Episode 140 of Testing Peers is now live 🎙️ This time, we explore what a high-performing team actually looks like in practice. Dan Ashby joins Chris Armstrong, David Maynard and Simon Prior for this conversation, bringing a thoughtful perspective on the components that contribute to sustained team performance. We cover psychological safety in its many forms, clarity of purpose, growth in skills and proficiency, trust, ownership and the often overlooked role of joy within a team environment. We also touch on the realities of leadership in complex contexts, including navigating inherited cultures, avoiding decision fatigue, and the need for what I describe as decisive humility. Dan has also shared his High-Performing Teams Framework, which adds useful structure to these ideas: https://lnkd.in/eupWimTr You can find the episode wherever you usually listen to your podcasts. https://lnkd.in/eM9HCW8W #Podcast #TestingPeers
