With a special focus on Executive teams, Dipesh Pala will be drawing upon more than a decade of Agile transformation experiences across multiple organizations, and share real-life case studies and insights to illustrate the following key things that Agile Executives and Leaders need to do differently:
1. Stop Starting, Start Finishing
2. Slow Down to Go Faster
3. One Team, One Dream
4. Foster Fully Capable Teams
5. Fail Early & Fail Small
6. Deliver Business Value, not just Projects
7. Servant Leadership
If you are an Executive or a Leader of an Agile team, this session will provide clear implications for where to focus your efforts in order to unleash the full potential of Agile methods to gain a competitive edge. You will be inspired by knowing what serves to catalyze and nourish progress – and what does the opposite.
