with Adrienne Wilson – COO, Pretty Agile

Everyone wants high-performing teams—but what really separates thriving organisations from those trapped in bottlenecks, burnout and bureaucracy? Drawing on lessons from The ART of Avoiding a Train Wreck and hard-won insights from transforming ICT organisations, this session explores the organisational patterns, leadership behaviours and structural shifts that enable flow at scale.

You’ll learn practical strategies to balance autonomy and alignment, foster sustainable work cultures, and build systems ready for constant change—so your teams (and your business) can deliver what customers truly want.
