Turning Conflict Into Collaboration: Agile Conversations in the Age of AI

Description: What if conflict wasn’t your enemy — but your best opportunity to create clarity, connection, and creative solutions?

Join Dr. Sam Bayer, retired software entrepreneur, TEDx speaker, and creator of the AGENT negotiation framework, for a hands-on session designed specifically for Agile professionals navigating today’s fast-changing landscape.

We’ll kick things off with a quick review of the AGENT framework — a practical, five-step method for resolving conflicts and negotiating win-win outcomes — followed by a brief look at what really makes negotiations succeed.

Then, we’ll dive into an interactive, AI-powered experience using Sam’s AGENT Chatbot, built on ChatGPT. Together, we’ll explore real-world conflicts faced by Agilists, starting with a timely one:

How do you position Agile skills and job titles in an AI-driven market that doesn’t fully understand them?

From there, we’ll open the floor to workshop other challenges you bring to the room — whether it’s team tensions, stakeholder misalignment, or shifting organizational priorities.

All participants will receive access to the AGENT Chatbot to use for their own professional negotiations and decision-making going forward.
Bring your curiosity, your challenges, and your openness to collaborate.
