In this talk, we will deep dive into the misconception that companies should follow best practices - and that if they don’t, they are doing it wrong. Instead, we will share examples from companies that led their own way, adopted practices that are considered “bad practice” and still thrive, and how a mindset of continuous improvement is what actually drives change within organisations.
