67th Athens Agile Meetup - Org Topologies
67th Athens Agile Meetup - Org Topologies
Hi Agileans, After a little quiet, we are excited to invite the community back for the 67th Agile Greece meetup! Our ambition is not only to learn what’s new from experts, but also to explore together future directions and themes for the upcoming meetups. On **Wed May 20, 18:30-20:00,** at [Yodeck's offices](https://maps.app.goo.gl/z56A5sXTLbwZCfWc7) (Also online: https://tinyurl.com/67th-Agile-Greece-Meetup), our invited speaker, [Roland Flemm](https://www.linkedin.com/in/rolandflemm/), co-author of [Org Topologies](https://www.orgtopologies.com/) and the best-seller [10X ORG, elevating business performance with people and AI.](https://www.orgtopologies.com/10x-org) will be presenting on: **Agile Was Never the Problem — Your Organization … Is** **Talk Summary** It’s the 25th anniversary of Agile! And for more than two decades, organizations have adopted Agile to improve speed, adaptability, and customer value. Teams work in iterations, deliver frequently, and continuously improve. Yet many organizations still struggle to achieve meaningful outcomes at scale. Why? Because we contained Agile to optimize teams — not the system those teams operate in. As organizations scale Agile, they unintentionally increase dependencies, coordination overhead, and fragmentation. The result is predictable: local improvements, but limited global performance. Now, with the rise of AI, this tension becomes even more visible. AI dramatically increases the efficiency of individual teams, but without structural change, it amplifies existing bottlenecks instead of resolving them. Faster parts, slower systems. **What Attendees Will Take Away** • Why Agile success at team level does not translate to organizational performance • How dependencies and fragmented ownership limit flow • Why AI adoption exposes — rather than fixes — these issues • What structural shifts are needed to move beyond team-level optimization • What distinguishes companies (10X ORGs) that scale AI successfully **Venue** Yodeck Offices 1, Likourgou Street, Athina 105 51, 2nd floor Doorbell: 03# Starttech Ventures **Agenda** 18:30, Check In 18:45, “Agile Was Never the Problem — Your Organization … Is”, by Roland Flemm 19:30, Q&A 19:45, Networking with pizza, drinks, and beverages, kindly offered by Yodeck **Speaker Bio** Roland Flemm is CEO of Org Topologies, Co-author of Org Topologies and the 10X ORG book. He has a technical background (20+ years of development and infrastructure). He works as an organization design consultant with a focus on creating adaptive org designs.

Εκεί έχει επέμβει η δασική υπηρεσία και έχει κόψει καμένους κορμούς δέντρων με αποτέλεσμα να καθιστούν εκείνα τα 200 μέτρα δύσβατα. Θα πρέπει να περάσουμε πάνω από τους κομμένους κορμούς! 🤷🏻‍♂️ ​ ⚠️ Η ακριβής διάρκεια της δραστηριότητας θα εξαρτηθεί από τον ομαδικό ρυθμό βάδισης καθώς και τις στάσεις που θα κάνουμε. ​Σύσταση για υποδήματα με αντιολισθητική σόλα. 1. ​750ml νερό τουλάχιστον μαζί σας. 2.

Building Scalable Customer Identity Resolution Pipelines on AWS Using AI
Building Scalable Customer Identity Resolution Pipelines on AWS Using AI
Customer identity resolution becomes increasingly complex as organizations scale across multiple systems, regions, and data formats. Traditional rule-based approaches often fail to keep up with data variability, require constant manual tuning, and struggle with real-time processing needs. This session presents a practical approach to building a scalable identity resolution pipeline using AWS services and modern AI techniques. The architecture combines data ingestion through Amazon S3 and AWS Glue, transformation pipelines using Spark on EMR, and machine learning models deployed via SageMaker for entity matching and standardization. Graph-based relationship modeling is implemented using Amazon Neptune to improve resolution accuracy by incorporating household and shared attribute context. We will walk through how machine learning models can be used for name and address normalization, how intelligent blocking strategies improve matching efficiency, and how feedback loops can be introduced to continuously improve accuracy. The session also highlights how serverless components such as AWS Lambda can be used for orchestration and real-time processing. **SPEAKER BIO** Mosaic Syed is a Senior Data Engineering and Cloud Solutions Architect with over 20 years of experience designing and delivering scalable, secure, and high-performance data solutions across global enterprise environments. https://www.linkedin.com/in/mosaic-basha-syed-92300856 **CALL FOR SPEAKERS** Learn more: [https://www.awscolumbus.com/get-involved/](https://www.awscolumbus.com/get-involved/) **THANK YOU** *VEEAM* for hosting our meetup!

Best Practices for Building a Reliable Lakehouse
Best Practices for Building a Reliable Lakehouse
**Abstract:** This is a practical playbook for building a production-grade data lakehouse. It walks through foundational principles — naming conventions, least-privilege access, automated CI/CD testing — before diving into medallion architecture. Furthermore, metadata-driven design patterns show how configuration tables and dynamic notebook orchestration eliminates hard-coded pipelines. The deck covers star schema modeling, guidance on choosing between Spark, Pandas, and SQL, and data quality enforcement using DQX with YAML data contracts. Finally, we dive into security best practices and performance optimizations. **Host:** Justin Shea, Mehdi Jeddi, Erik Pak, and Sou-Cheng Choi **Talk Format:** This is a hybrid event. To attend online, join us on Zoom here at 6pm: https://iit-edu.zoom.us/j/89379230295?pwd=NdETyE5sdYuSrvsrBZXSBFkUESBVkg.1 Meeting ID: 893 7923 0295 Passcode: 5t5WYn **Sponsor:** Adyen, UIC College of Business, and PyData Chicago co-host this event. UIC will provide the meeting site. Adyen will sponsor pizza and soft drinks for the onsite participants. **Address:** University of Illinois - Chicago, Douglass Hall, Room 220, 705 S Morgan St, Chicago, IL 60607 **Logistics:** “UIC Douglass Hall” is recognized on Google Maps, which can guide you through campus.

Drunken Philosophy: What’s up with all the AI hate?
Drunken Philosophy: What’s up with all the AI hate?
**Welcome to Drunken Philosophy** a casual, curious social discussion **Optional topic for this meetup: What's up with all the AI hate?** A recent survey found that 74% of Americans have a negative view of AI, and I want to know why. Come out and debate whether AI is good or bad. My hot take: a labor-saving tool that could potentially help cure cancer gets called dangerous because it might raise unemployment or cause a speculative investment bubble, that tells you a lot more about capitalism and the economic system we live under than it does about the tool itself. As a computer programmer, I think AI is a wonderful tool that has increased my productivity by at least an order of magnitude. I'd go so far as to say Claude Code is the best tool I have ever used. Debate me and name a better one. Is AI potentially dangerous? Yes, but so are a lot of tools. Chainsaws. Steam engines (early ones would occasionally explode and kill everyone in the room). Do you think cavemen sat around debating whether fire could be used as a weapon or for self-harm, and decided not to discover it? I have two friends who hate AI for opposite reasons: one thinks it's a fad and not useful, and the other thinks it's going to take over everything and cause human extinction. Come out tonight, have a friendly debate, and make some friends. No lectures. Friendly crowd. Drop in for one drink and stay if it's fun.
