DevOps and Agile transformations are very popular in big corporates, however there is often a disconnect between the teams, the middle management, the "business" and the customer. Despite investing heavily in DevOps and Agile practices, tools and processes; transformations fail to deliver better outcome for the customers.

In my presentation I am looking at red flags when implementing Agile and DevOps practices. However, it's not just an angry rant about all the things that are going wrong. I also have a look at how we can make our organisation a better place with setting the right goals, measuring the right things and nurturing the people.

    Tired of boring meetings and painful processes to arrive at group decisions?

    Creating an engaging experience while ensuring a safe space is hard - especially if you need participants to feel comfortable being vulnerable and authentic.

    One way around this is to introduce Liberating Structures. You may already be unknowingly familiar with them. For example, did you know Open Space is one of the many Liberating Structures?

    Attend this energizing session where you will learn about and practice various Liberating Structures. You’ll leave being able to apply several Liberating Structures next time you need to work with a group.
