Über uns
The world is changing faster than ever before and Sustainable Outcomes are often neglected. Resiliency demands that you know more and adapt quickly.
Organizations of every size are struggling to remain relevant in the eyes of their customers and society. Customers are more informed, responsible for their future and their expectations are higher than they’ve ever been. Employees demand more clarity, empowerment, and meaning in their work. It is only high-performing, adaptable, and agile organizations who will thrive in this unpredictable market. We call this Sustainable Business Agility.
At its simplest, Sustainable Business Agility is the capacity and willingness of an organization to adapt to, create, leverage, and sustain change for their customer’s benefit. This simple statement exposes the dramatic shift in mindset needed for agile organizations. Where how you respond to the market is reliably more predictable than how the market responds to you.
Our Meetup will start with ONLINE events aiming at interactive talks, lean coffee, fish-bowls and other formats based on context.
Topics in the near future may include: Agile Strategy, Agile HR, Leadership Agility, De-Scaling, Scaling, Agile Procurement, Finance, Legal, Regulation together with R&D, Business, and IT

Cihangir Deniz Özdemir: Illusion to Resonance - People First as Design for Trust
·OnlineOnlineMany organizations grabbed “agile” for speed and adaptability, yet too often ended up with practices that lost substance, fragmented knowledge, and eroded legitimacy. This talk introduces Communicative Agile as an antidote, where Nonaka’s Ba and Habermas’s deliberation are tuned into living architectures of trust. Inspired by Mike Beedle, who warned that without deliberation agility collapses into performance without meaning, this approach is less about fixing and more about creating the conditions where tacit experience can enter deliberation as shared validity. With the Deliberative Permeability Metric (DPM*) and the Communicative Rationality Cycle (CRC**), Deniz shows how organizations can capture tacit signals and inject them directly into decision-making, not as theory, but as direct proof of how invisible knowledge transforms the system.
Participants will leave with applied ways to restore autonomy, strengthen competence, and build trustful connections in their teams. This is not about new manifestos or frameworks, but about making the Agile Manifesto finally actionable. From the Livelo case in Brazil, he demonstrates how deliberation breathes meaning into speed and reveals collaboration as systemic intelligence.
If your “Agile” feels like routine, instead of transformation, this talk will show how to restore its harmony, turning practices into spaces of trust and intelligence.
*The Deliberative Permeability Metric (DPM) is a way of checking how much tacit input actually flows into decisions. For example, at Livelo we compared how long it took between an someone raising a point and that point showing up in the system, that cycle time is one element of the DPM in practice.
**The Communicative Rationality Cycle (CRC) builds on that: once you’ve measured permeability, you close the loop by making feedback explicit, so people see their signals matter. In Livelo this meant linking conrete change back to the conversation or concern that triggered it.
Nothing mystical, but structured ways to make deliberation visible and measurable.
About our speaker:
Cihangir Deniz Özdemir is a researcher and co-founder of OZCO, acting across Brazil, Germany, and beyond. Together with Marina Özdemir, he developed Communicative Agile, blending Nonaka’s Ba and Habermas’s deliberation to shape architectures of trust. Cihangir reframes agility as systemic intelligence, not found in control, but in what seemed "hollow", which can become the basis for genuine trust. He invites organizations to move beyond surface routines and rediscover deliberation as design, trust, and systemic intelligence.

Christoph Dibbern: n8n Agents Foster Business Agility (ONLINE)
·OnlineOnlineAI is no longer a side experiment, it is becoming an integral part of how teams organize, deliver value, and scale impact.
In this talk, I share my journey as Team Leader and AI Product Owner of 17 healthy AI agents running in production, designed and orchestrated using n8n-based strategies and technologies. These agents operate as a cross-functional, outcome-oriented team, supporting real business work across Executive Office, HR, Business Development, Marketing, and Sales.
Rather than treating AI as tooling, this setup treats AI agents as team members with clear roles, responsibilities, quality metrics, and collaboration patterns, from Research Manager and Executive Assistant, to Fact-Checker, Flow Master, Content Marketer, Podcast Creator, LinkedIn Expert, Personas, and Sales Support.
The session explores:
• How servant leadership principles translate into AI Product Ownership
• What “team health” means for AI agents in production
• How n8n enables scalable, observable, and adaptable AI workflows
• Why cross-functionality and agility matter just as much for AI teams as for human onesThe talk concludes with an invitation to rethink leadership itself:
If AI agents can be onboarded, coached, measured for health, and led as a cross-functional team, then the real question is no longer whether AI belongs in our organizations, but who is ready to lead it responsibly.About our speaker:
