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.

**History** The history of [Blendon Woods Metro Park](https://www.metroparks.net/parks-and-trails/blendon-woods/) began long before its 1951 opening, rooted in a landscape of rugged ridges and deep ravines that made the land unsuitable for traditional farming. In 1945, a report proposing a metropolitan park system for Franklin County specifically highlighted these cliffs of Bedford Shale as some of the "wildest land in the vicinity". Following this recommendation, the recently formed park district purchased the first 229 acres in early 1949. Because the terrain was so uneven, developers had to cut a mile-and-a-half-long roadway through dense woods just to bring in heavy equipment. This initial preservation effort ensured that the mature second-growth hardwood forests remained largely untouched by the urban expansion spreading toward Westerville. Opening day arrived on Labor Day, September 3, 1951, marking Blendon Woods as the second park in the Columbus and Franklin County Metro Parks system. The final push to open was a frantic race; the State Highway Department only finished the primary gravel access road four days before the gates opened. Early staff members, consisting of just four full-time employees, had to hand-dig pit toilets and learn construction skills on the fly to build the first picnic shelters. Despite the dusty conditions and limited facilities, the park was an immediate success, drawing massive crowds from across Central Ohio. By the end of the 1950s, annual visitation had already climbed to over 190,000 people. As the surrounding suburbs grew in the 1960s, the park faced severe overcrowding that threatened its natural habitats. In response, Franklin County voters passed the first Metro Parks levy in 1960, providing the funds necessary for a decade of steady expansion. During this era, the park nearly doubled in size, growing from 264 acres to over 570 acres by 1968. Planners also addressed a critical water shortage by collaborating with the U.S. Soil and Conservation Service to build a lake in 1964. This body of water originally served as a temporary reservoir before its role shifted toward conservation and wildlife support. The 1970s marked a transition toward the specialized wildlife and educational focus for which the park is known today. In 1971, the Walden Waterfowl Refuge was established around the 11-acre Thoreau Lake, creating a sanctuary that remains restricted to provide a quiet habitat for migratory birds. A formal nature center was also developed during this period, expanding on the guided Sunday walks that had been a park staple since the early 1950s. The park’s famous "Monarch Mansion" also became a prominent fixture, starting a long tradition of raising and releasing thousands of monarch butterflies each September. These initiatives cemented the park’s reputation as a premier destination for birders and nature enthusiasts. In more recent decades, Blendon Woods has continued to modernize while maintaining its wilderness character. The 10-acre Natural Play Area was added in 2017, encouraging kids to explore the ravines and woods off-trail. This was followed by the opening of a $1.5 million inclusive playground in April 2025, designed to accommodate children of all physical abilities. The nature center also underwent major renovations to include immersive, three-dimensional exhibits and a new butterfly house. Today, the park encompasses 653 acres, preserving a unique geologic and biological corridor amidst the bustling Westerville and Northeast Columbus area. **Map of the Park** Here is a map of [Blendon Woods](https://www.metroparks.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/BLN_map_Inclusive-Playground-and-Butterfly-Trail_May-2025_1980px.png). **Summary** For this event, we will hike the Lake View, Hickory Ridge, Ripple Rock, Overlook, Brookside, and Sugarbush Trails. This sounds like a lot, but it will really be only a little over five miles. Blendon Woods has a few hills here and there, but it's not one of the more strenuous metro parks. **Where We'll Meet** We'll meet just in front of the Nature Center. This is about a mile into the park from the main entrance. You have to go past the Ranger Station and the Shadblow Reservable Area to get to it, so don't stop too early at the Ranger Station and get it confused with the Nature Center. **After the Hike** Afterward, we will head over to [Forbidden Root Restaurant & Brewery](https://forbiddenroot.com/restaurants/columbus-ohio/) at Easton for [drinks](https://forbiddenroot.com/restaurants/columbus-ohio/#dinner-menu) and [food](https://forbiddenroot.com/wp-content/uploads/Cbus-Food.pdf). We should be there by 5 if you can't make the hike and just want to join us for drinks. The brewery's actual address is [4080 Worth Ave, Columbus, OH 43219](https://www.google.com/maps/place/4080+Worth+Ave,+Columbus,+OH+43219/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x88388a86d10b6619:0x4d42b470a5cf11d3?sa=X&ved=1t:242&ictx=111); however, I recommend pointing your GPS to the [Worth Garage](https://www.google.com/maps/place/Worth+Garage/@40.0542293,-82.9137962,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x88388b4df6082825:0x17582f0eccd9dda1!8m2!3d40.0542293!4d-82.9137962!16s%2Fg%2F11rzfvvv8b?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI2MDQxNS4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D) across the street. Parking in this garage is free as long as you're not on the first floor, and it is literally right next to the brewery.
