Organisation Leaders and more importantly customers are looking for faster, proactive and innovative solutions to their problems.

Instead of simply doing ‘better’, organisations must do more.

What does this all mean for the traditional PMO and how can they disrupt themselves to be the valueable business partner they need to be?

During the 30 minute discussion the 2 Becs will discuss and provide insights from a recent client engagement where they assisted the PMO to become:

• Start up Funders

• An Innovation Hub

• Investment Advisors

• LEAN Portfolio Machine.

Lessons learnt about what worked, reinforcements to get the change to stick and the pivots required along the way.

Over the last 18 months Super Retail Group (SRG) has been on a journey to move to a new way of working.

This talk focusses on the why, what and how of decreasing their time from Idea to Value.

Now more than ever innovation and agility at pace is required to respond to the ever increasing pressures of

the now economy. This pressure is felt enormously in the retail business.

Hear how the SRG agile journey started by answering into the WHY. Once buy in was obtained WHAT did they stop, start and continue

and HOW did they go about doing this? What worked, what didn’t and what have they learnt so far.

This talk and mini workshop aims to address:

• Why some agile implementations have not hit the mark
• Incorporating design thinking into existing agile frameworks
• how to bring focus to the real customer need and not what the business thinks they need
• Rapid innovation techniques with Brainwriting
• mini-workshop to practise an effective Ideation technique.

The classic enterprise software Catch-22: We need tests before we can risk changing our software applications, but those applications are not designed for testability, so we first need to redesign them.

There is nothing to do but bite the bullet and build a testing safety net around the outside.

This session will describe our experiences while building the net and show you the ropes so you too can reduce risk while speeding up delivery cycle times in the traditional enterprise circus.
