Two in the Box: Leadership and the Art of Delivering Customer Value Fast
Every business today is being disrupted by how fast things are changing.
Product teams need to continually review and improve their delivery processes, just to compete. But where do you start?
For MYOB, it was in the alignment of its Product and Delivery leadership teams.
The result?
MYOB is now better placed to meet their strategic goals, deliver continual improvement and value to their ever-growing client base.
This talk presents MYOB's approach, how they did it and how my role as a Technical Leader has shifted.
