Agile in Greece: Research Findings & Key Insights

Based on my MBA research, this talk explores the current state of Agile adoption in Greek organizations. Drawing on survey data from executives and Agile team members, it examines how Agile is practiced today, which frameworks are in use, what success looks like and where things quietly start to break down. The research reveals a growing gap between how leaders believe Agile is working and how teams actually experience it. Using a data-driven lens, we explore the real challenges of scaling Agile in Greece, the underestimated role of culture and people, and what it takes to build truly adaptive, innovation-driven organizations.
While the data was collected in Greece, the findings are compared with some of Europe’s most mature Agile environments, particularly Denmark and the Netherlands. This comparison places the Greek ecosystem in a broader EU context, distinguishing local constraints from universal Agile challenges and highlighting what can realistically be adapted.

What you’ll take away

• Uncover critical perception gaps, such as the ‘Culture Blind Spot’, that are holding teams back without leadership realizing it.
• See the shared roadmap executives and teams actually agree on for scaling Agile beyond pilots and isolated successes
• Identify the human factors currently undervalued, contributing to stalled innovation in the majority of organisations and talent loss eventually.
• Learn how to move beyond the ‘delivery’ toward healthier, more resilient organizations

This session is ideal for leaders, managers, Agile practitioners, and anyone interested in the future of work and organizational agility.
