ABOUT BUSINESS AGILITY 2017

Business Agility 2017 is an intense 2-day conference focusing on agile outside IT, organisational design, product innovation, and next-gen leadership.

The conference itself is something a little different. It will be highly interactive - a combination of keynotes and facilitated learning "deep dives". There will be 350 people seated together in one room (in groups of 10) for two days. Each day will be split into 4 topics (e.g. organisation design, leadership & empowerment, innovation & market disruption, governance & strategy, customer & citizen focus and leading the transformation). Each topic will have three, 20 minute, "art of the possible", keynotes (people who have actually created agile organisations) followed by 40 minutes of facilitated hands-on engagement. These hands-on sessions are designed to allow participants to share their stories, ideas and life-lessons between each other. 

WHY BUSINESS AGILITY?

Traditional models of management and corporate governance are failing to keep up with the needs of the modern economy. Change, both technological and cultural, is occurring at faster rates than ever before. In this climate, modern enterprises will live or die on their ability to adapt and many companies are turning to agile for ideas to innovate, reduce the cost of business and remain relevant in a changing market.

This is where business agility comes in. Business agility embraces change; changing how you think, changing how you work and changing the way you interact. This is important whether you are a software developer or a CEO.
