Govern Agility; How Governance needs to change

Having been at the forefront of agility adoption at scale for nearly 40 years of combined effort, Tony Ponton and co-author of Govern Agility - Phil Gadzinski have seen the same patterns playing out in most organisations. All start with best intent and inspirational visions, and then get bogged down as their current systems and ways of working exert pressure and draw the change agents back to the core before benefits are realised and the change can be sustained.

This plays out almost universally in the way we govern the work. No snowflake is that unique! People are people, and organisations are about people and the evolution of their interactions. The world is always changing so we need a system of governance that transcends the variety of problems we solve, and that flexes with emergence.

In this talk Tony will aim to provide support and learning to those on this journey, showing the way you can approach governance and assurance differently- and truly achieve the goal of agility.
