This presentation explores the relationship between agile methodologies and generative artificial intelligence (AI). It reflects on how agile principles enabled organizations to adapt during the COVID-19 pandemic, proving agility is a mindset not a place. The rise of generative AI brings new opportunities to augment human capabilities and boost productivity. However, over-reliance on AI risks decreasing human creativity and collaboration. Agile practitioners must remain vigilant to use generative AI purposefully, preserving team interactions. Examples demonstrate how generative AI chatbots can assist with agile coaching, accelerating knowledge acquisition. But human compassion endures despite innovations.

Climate change and the depletion of natural resources have made it inopinently urgent to move away from the traditional linear economy models used to date. For some years now, companies have been experiencing increasing pressure from markets, investors and employees themselves to adapt their business models to those inherent in the circular economy: a way of doing business that aims to keep resources in use as long as possible in production cycles and whose products and materials are recovered and regenerated at the end of their life cycle. Such a challenge requires every organization to reinvent itself and face significant risks. However, it is equally clear that such transformations are capable of unlocking great opportunities in terms of new market segments that demand ever-growing quantities of sustainable products and services. Approaching high uncertainty contexts such as the one described, with traditional ways, severely limits the chances of harvesting all the available value, as well as not breaking the dangerous spiral we find ourselves in. In this talk we will understand how Agile can be an effective catalyst for such transformations. We will explore how Business Agility approaches and tools can support any company in all strategic, governance and operational phases of that transformative journey.

Gli OKR (Objective and Key Results) possono essere considerati una pratica di management che aiuta le aziende a definire in maniera puntale gli obiettivi e i relativi risultati strategici da raggiungere, grazie a focus, impegno, concentrazione e allineamento continui. In questo articolo descriveremo come gli OKR possano essere utilizzati efficacemente anche per guidare la trasformazione verso sostenibilità e circolarità aziendale, in maniera pervasiva e con un processo end-to-end.

Incertezze e volatilità dei mercati stanno diventando la normalità; situazione che andrà sempre più consolidandosi. Sviluppare piani strategici in grado di perdurare nel tempo come fatto in passato (3-5 anni) in queste condizioni, è un esercizio piuttosto complicato per qualsiasi azienda. Il management deve navigare quei contesti dotandosi dei corretti strumenti che permettano all’organizzazione di adattarsi rapidamente, coinvolgendo e connettendo l’intera azienda verso obiettivi che possono mutare frequentemente. Objective and Key Results (OKR) e Lean Portfolio Management (LPM) sono due pratiche che, già prese singolarmente, hanno un potenziale intrinseco enorme e quando adeguatamente combinate, forniscono la necessaria flessibilità nel modificare le proprie strategie in corso d’opera assicurando il raggiungimento dei risultati chiave.

Sustainability, Circularity, Circular Economy needto be on top on any leaders agenda. We Agilists have been always used with navigating the complexity, acting empirically and create contexts where collective intelligence can make the difference in finding new pathways and approaches. We think that our worldwide community has a very high potential for addressing the immense complexity behind issues of environmental sustainability and circularity and could help organizations in finding the best sustainable solutions for leaving a better world for those who will come after us. That said, we need to step in. Now.

The frameworks for scaling Agile in organizations are certainly an excellent tool on which to leverage to develop strategic skills such as market adaptation, innovation and the reduction of product creation times; characteristics that, in all likelihood, will be able to significantly raise the level of general customer satisfaction. Not a few times, alas, we found ourselves having to deal with practices suggested by those same frameworks that did not fit well with the circumstances and environment of reference. In those cases it is of little use to abandon one framework in favor of another as, in most cases, we would face new failures and a sense of frustration squared. In business contexts where a minimum but sufficient Agile adoption maturity has been reached to be defined as practitioners, it is certainly worth experimenting with new approaches. In this deck we will talk about how it is possible to encourage the emergence of emerging practices by teams in their native contexts, and which allow to scale Agile in a more organic and coordinated way, to achieve the above benefits, without the risk of rejection and decreasing to a minimum the inefficiencies due to lack of alignment, collaboration and communication. We will use the example of "biological scaffolding" to explain how in a human body, in a completely natural way, it is possible to influence a system from the inside, cellular in that case, towards certain directions and behaviors, avoiding invasive, constricting interventions or structures or limiting. We will use that concept as a metaphor to apply to Agile transformations.

What we are witnessing in terms of market dynamism, consumer needs and working habits, can no longer simply be categorized as the "new normal". There is no longer a single and clear goal to reach. Peter Hinssen, introduces the new and fascinating concept of “Never Normal”: a dynamic, fluid, ever-changing, ever-changing reality that must be understood and embraced. In a context in which disruption becomes normality, what strategies must companies and their leaders implement, not for mere survival, but allowing their organizations to exploit these discontinuities as a disruptive competitive factor? We believe that Business Agility is the means by which to acquire those mentalities, skills and attitudes, allowing us to respond to new challenges and seizing the opportunities of the technological-humanistic-digital transformation. In this talk we will understand how the evolution of Agile approaches, born more than twenty years ago, can now be applied to the entire company to reshape its culture, talents, operating models, structures and processes, in order to train the organizational muscles. The Business Agility approach therefore allows us to respond proactively to the epochal changes underway, seizing the opportunities of the technological-digital transformation, definitively placed at the service of us human beings.

Being a leader of any organization today is a very demanding exercise, sometimes prohibitive if not equipped with the right skills. More and more often we find ourselves moving in little-known, uncertain, ambiguous contexts, where risks and opportunities do not reveal themselves for what they are, until at the last useful moment. There has never been a time like the one we are experiencing today in which, for those leaders, it is not mandatory to develop real superpowers that allow them to move with greater confidence, agility and sensitivity in those contexts, such as to increase their probability of success for their organizations. In this talk we will understand how to develop those superpowers. We will talk about how proceeding iteratively by trial and error equips us with an infrared view capable of making us see through the fog of complexity. We will discuss how an approach oriented to continuous learning develops the latest generation of tactile sensors to help us orient ourselves with agility in uncertainty. We will appreciate how understanding the different contexts in which we are immersed exponentially increases our ability to focus and analyze in making the right decisions. Finally, we will evaluate how the definition of open and adaptive strategies provides organizations with the ability to flex and stretch within the markets in search of the best opportunities.

Trovarsi alla guida di un’organizzazione oggi è un esercizio piuttosto impegnativo. La portata delle sfide e la velocità con cui queste si susseguono, obbliga a non attendere l’accadere degli eventi, ma ad anticiparli, percependone i segnali deboli, seguirne lo sviluppo e prepararsi a trarne vantaggio nel momento della loro piena maturazione. Mai come oggi, ad un leader, sono richieste capacità fuori dalla norma per condurre la propria organizzazione con successo nel viaggio verso innovazione e agilità aziendale, un insieme di veri e propri superpoteri: Disegno organizzativo agile, Cambiamento continuo accelerato, Sviluppo incessante delle persone, Processo decisionale flessibile, Strategia adattiva aperta.

La lezione più importante che questa pandemia ci sta insegnando è che l’urgenza di cambiare, sommata ad un atteggiamento continuo nell’ascolto ai clienti, sono veicoli in grado di incrementare notevolmente l’agilità organizzativa. Le aziende che sono passate indenni alla prima virulenta ondata del Covid-19 (Marzo/Maggio 2020), hanno di fatto sviluppato, quasi inconsciamente e in un tempo incredibilmente breve, nuove capacità di risposta agli stimoli e cambiamenti esterni; capacità che oggi consentono loro di affrontare al meglio momenti di discontinuità dei mercati.

L’agilità aziendale è la capacità di realizzare e sostenere il pieno potenziale di un’organizzazione, sia in termini di profitti che di persone, indipendentemente dai cambiamenti del contesto circostante. Oggi ogni azienda dovrebbe immaginare se stessa come in un viaggio verso il continuo sviluppo di resilienza, adattabilità, empatia e agilità, al fine di meglio adattarsi alle incertezze e alle repentine discontinuità dei mercati.

Morphing is a special effect in motion pictures and animations that changes one image or shape into another, through a seamless transition. That's a great metaphor to represent how companies should reinvent themselves continuously, to serve its customers and run after their ever changing needs. That state is today called "Business Agility". Companies achieving that state, report increased revenues, better capacity to turnaround, higher quality offerings, improved relationships with clients and higher employees engagement. Statistics say that they possess three fundamental aspects: Lean-Agile Funding Models, organizational structures re-arranged around value streams, revisited processes to sustain relentless improvement. In this talk we'll see what kind of changes are needed to companies' operating models to develop those key aspects and how Agile can be thought as the best methodological and cultural platform to speed-up that change. We will understand what is necessary to let our organizations to finally being able to morph continually to achieve Business Agility.

Covid-19 crisis we are experiencing is teaching us, once again, that everything in this world is interconnected. Paraphrasing Lorenz, we could say that a banal behavior of a bat or snake in China can trigger a pandemic in Europe or in the United States. How can societies and humans can leverage on these mechanisms and produce more value for customers, employees and communities? We believe that with its values, approaches and principles, Agile can make a difference.

We are firmly convinced of the creation of the stable and long-lasting agile team, both a key competitive element of any company that wants to compete as a protagonist in today's market. The Agile teams were designed to proceed in that direction: small, self-managed, inter-functional teams, preferably located in the same room and possibly long-lasting. we will understand together why traditional project management approaches for creating the work team present important problems. We will understand the dynamics underlying the creation of the stable work team and we will review some of the techniques for creating the cohesive and high-performance team, completely changing the paradigm: from moving people towards work, towards work towards people. Finally we will understand why an agile team created according to those standards, possibly more resources to successfully deal with any changes in its physiognomy, while continuing to produce constant value.

Velocità di risposta e capacità di adattamento sono attitudini fondamentali per qualsiasi organizzazione che voglia rispondere adeguatamente alle esigenze dei mercati e alla loro volatilità; per raggiungere tali obbiettivi, è d’obbligo che le stesse valutino costantemente con attenzione i rischi (e opportunità) inerenti servizi e prodotti in sviluppo. Approcci tradizionali alla gestione del rischio, in quei contesti, non sono in grado di rispondere adeguatamente. In questo articolo vedremo come Agile rappresenti un ottimo approccio di gestione dei rischi nel loro intero ciclo di vita.

Competing as a protagonist in the digital and global market means being able to provide the customer with a constant flow of value, through the creation of high quality products and services. The performance of the work teams that produce these results is certainly a key factor in achieving those standards. The Agile teams were designed precisely in that direction: small, self-managed, inter-functional teams, preferably co-localized and long lasting. One of the key elements of the equation is precisely the creation of stable and long-lasting teams.

After almost twenty years of life of the Agile Manifesto, we can confidently say that such a document marked a radical change in many areas of the world of work. Thanks to its founding values and principles, a cultural re/evolution started and it is now at its highest peaks on the implementation perspective. However, can we say that all the promises of the Agile Manifesto have been achieved?

Have you ever heard about the state of flow? Pyschologist Mihály Csíkszentmihályi, creator of the state of flow concept, describes the importance for a person in finding the right balance between Competition and Competence, as the key to being able to respond effectively and productively to the challenges that life confronts us, everyday. What if we were able to lead an Agile-Digital transformation by mobilizing our people helping them to surf on a state of continuous flow?
