Mark Angrish
Tech Area Lead, ANZ
Fireside Chat – Transforming an enterprise – with Julian Lim – Sponsored by ThoughtWorks
Eighteen months ago, ANZ Bank announced a bold plan of change for its Technology division and Australia business to adopt New Ways of Working (NWOW), inspired by the Agile, lean and DevOps movements. Early on, it became apparent that engineering would be one of the corner pieces of this transformation puzzle. Bringing the ‘dev’ closer to the ‘ops’ through early adoption of Agile across engineering teams unlocked ANZ’s ability to deliver value to customers with speed and at scale – a fundamental part of ANZ’s NWOW success.
To do this, ANZ harnessed the power of an augmented client/consultant team structure – leveraging the expertise of mature Agile consultancy ThoughtWorks to deliver quality engineering outcomes in a condensed timeframe. Join Mark Angrish (Head of Engineering at ANZ Bank) and Julian Lim (ThoughtWorks Client Principal) at this fireside chat as they candidly talk through the ins and outs of implementing an Agile engineering culture.
