This is the era of rapid and increasing change, adapting rapidly or perishing. Many organizations, big and small, struggle to survive. Their products and software have aged and become hard to maintain until they reach Technical Death, where all available effort goes into mere survival. At the same time, in our global economy, competition comes from anywhere, with better products built at lower costs. Organizations must jump the Innovators’ Dilemma and reinvent themselves to stay ahead of the competition.
Speed, agility, and adaptability are more crucial than ever. However, agile frameworks became both a solution and a source of uncertainty and rigidity. Organizations seek fresh perspectives and adaptable strategies and techniques. They are stuck.
This talk presents a battle-tested repertoire of practical strategies and techniques that serve as a compass for comprehending and continuously navigating between maintenance, renovation, and innovation, maintaining a solid focus on customer-centricity, reaching your dot on the horizon while instilling transparency, autonomy, and collaboration.

This talk empowers you to evolve from conventional agile and cultivate a culture of continuous growth. Of course, it offers a treasure trove of real-life stories from the trenches, providing an authentic glimpse into agile but redefined for the modern era. This talk will help your organization to get unstuck.
