Business Strategy

**Uncertain Times, Adaptive Teams** What’s the next evolution of Agile? Agile turns **25 years old in 2026**. A quarter of a century after a small group of practitioners met in the late 90s to rethink how teams could work better, we once again find ourselves in a moment of profound change. AI is reshaping roles. Organizations expect clarity and measurable impact. Teams are navigating increasing complexity and shifting expectations. In many ways, it feels similar to the period just before the Agile Manifesto emerged – a time when people sensed that a new way of working was about to take shape. So the question becomes: **What could the next evolution of Agile look like?** Let’s explore it together. **What to expect** Join us for an interactive Meetup that combines a short impulse with a collaborative **World Café**. Together, we will explore several potential future scenarios of Agile and reflect on the signals, patterns, and tensions we already see in our own environments. 🧩 **World Café Session** Move through different tables, each focused on a possible future of Agile — from AI‑supported teamwork to post‑framework agility. 💡 **Fresh Insights** Exchange experiences, challenges, observations, and emerging trends from your daily work. 🤝 **Co‑Creation Instead of Keynote** This isn’t about presenting the “one right answer.” It’s about thinking together and shaping new perspectives. **Who is this for?** Anyone working with or around agility: Product Owners, Agile Coaches, Scrum Masters, leaders, transformation practitioners — or anyone curious about what might come next. **Why join?** Because 25 years after the Agile Manifesto, we may once again be standing at a moment where something new is beginning to emerge. And in this Meetup, **you can be part of that exploration.** 📅 **Date:** 19.02.2026 ⏰ **Time:** 6:15 PM 📍 **Location:** Deloitte Greenhouse, Kurfürstendamm 23, 10719 Berlin > Ground Floor > 6+7 🎤 **Hosts:** Alexander Ständert, Deloitte Consulting GmbH, Deloitte Agile Community Seats are limited. Please register through the official Deloitte event page: 👉[Deloitte | Register ](https://cloud.marketing.deloitte.de/eventRegistration?eventname=Agile%20Meetup%20Feb%2026&locale=en) We look forward to shaping the next chapter of Agile with you! #Agile #FutureOfAgile #WorldCafe #AI #Adaptiveness #25YearsAgile #Meetup

**👋 Hello Strangers! —** For all players and chess-curious folks out there who want to chill, make friends, and enjoy some chess: We are hosting a daily meetup in Mitte / Prenzlauerberg for all experience levels. It doesn't matter if you just watched the Queen's Gambit or if you have been playing regularly for a while. **Join us** — Daily from 7 pm till midnight. **Expected Behavior** — [Conduct](https://strangerchess.com/conduct/) **Pics** · [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/strangerchess/) / **Chat** · [Telegram](https://t.me/strangerchess) / **Web** · [Strangerchess.com](https://strangerchess.com/) (No need to bring anything, boards, clocks, etc. are provided)

**Einladung zur Flowgame-Session** In einer Zeit, die für viele von uns unsicher und herausfordernd ist, tragen wir alle auf die eine oder andere Weise Ängste in uns. In dieser Flowgame-Session möchte ich einen Raum öffnen, in dem wir uns diesen Ängsten gemeinsam zuwenden können – im Gespräch, im Austausch und getragen vom Flowgame als Struktur und Halt. Mehr zum FlowGame hier: www.flowgame.net Es geht darum, miteinander ins Gespräch zu kommen: über das, was uns bewegt, was uns Sorgen macht und was uns vielleicht auch Mut gibt. Indem wir unsere Erfahrungen teilen, können wir uns gegenseitig unterstützen und möglicherweise neue Perspektiven und Zuversicht für die Zukunft finden. Im Mittelpunkt steht dabei vor allem der ehrliche Austausch über Ängste – weil sie zu uns gehören und gehört werden wollen. Ich freue mich auf eine achtsame, offene Runde mit euch.
