Maximizing value with an Evolutionary Org Design

There are many ways to scale the Product development. You can find tons of articles on the web describing various frameworks and custom approaches. Many advertise themselves as the ultimate solution for all the scaling pains and issues. And all of that is barely true. One reason for that is the lack of emphasis on the Organizational Design adaptations it takes to enable true agility. If you are looking for ways to scale your Product beyond a single team or feel, that your current scaling framework fails to deliver on promises – this session might be the right choice for you! In his talk, Denis will reflect on his experience of organizing and optimizing Organizational Design and Product development at scale in successful tech companies, ranging from startups of few teams to “unicorn” scale-ups. Learn how utilizing a data-driven approach, Empiricism and Systems Thinking may help you to move your organisation beyond a rule book and achieve real adaptivity across the whole org or its parts.
