The better the brakes, the faster you will go!
with Neil Rodgers, Director, Digital Solutions, Helia
Together, Neil Rodgers and Maria Muir will describe a case study of how speed AND control was achieved at Helia. As companies look to change their ways of working, there is a critical decision to be made. Do you:
- Shoe horn your Agile teams into the existing, traditional governance processes? Or,
- Re-imagine how you can achieve both speed and control and re-wire how you govern?
Many organisations are not taking the step to re-imagine governance, and as a result, not realising the full benefits of business agility.
Helia, a leading Australian provider of mortgage insurance, needs to move with pace as this agility is critical for it to maintain its competitive edge, whilst complying to the regulatory environment in which it works within. Speed without control is not an option for Helia. Neil and Maria will describe how Helia took the first steps to re-imagine governance to unlock delivery of better outcomes and enable their Agile teams.
In this talk, you will hear more about the problem that needed to be solved, the approach that was taken, the outcomes delivered, and the lessons you can take away to tackle the same set of challenges. Neil and Maria will cover off the key shifts required in mindset, governance process, and tooling required to enable the change.
