Topic: Scaled Agile DFW: Leveraging SAFe in Entrepreneurship with Luke Hohmann

Agenda:
5:00-5:10 Opening remarks, intro, etc.

5:10-6:00 Presentation:
While SAFe is the premier method for scaling agility, many organizations think of SAFe as 'only' applicable to 'Scaling Agile'. This limits the benefits that they get from SAFe. In this talk I will present how we are using the Portfolio Configuration of SAFe to create FirstRoot, a new fintech focused on creating financially literate children capable of transforming their communities as they become financially independent adults through creativity, communication, critical thinking and collaboration. The lessons learned are applicable to organizations of any size, including organizations who seek to accelerate innovation in Horizon 3 of their LPM portfolio.

Presenter:
Luke Hohmann is the Founder and CEO of FirstRoot, a Benefit Corporation devoted to creating great economic equality. A serial entrepreneur, Luke's last company, Conteneo, was an enterprise software company that helped global companies manage investment portfolios using Participatory Budgeting. Luke is now leveraging the experience he gained working with some of the world's largest companies to help prepare our children for their future by bringing Participatory Budgeting into schools to teach financial literacy, civics, and design thinking.

6:00-6:30: Follow-up discussions, final Remarks, and Networking
