Demystifying the Role of Management in Agile
Often when an organisation introduces agile, management can be left wondering what their role is and how they can contribute. While some might suggest management should “just get out of the way” in my experience this is not the answer. Managers definitely have a role to play and an important one at that!
In this session Em will share her journey to becoming an Agile Leader. You will hear what made her start, the real world challenges she faced, the mistakes she made along the way and the secrets she discovered. Attendees at this session are sure to walk away with a new appreciation of the role of managers in agile organisations and plenty of practical ideas that can be implemented in an organisation, regardless of whether they are agile or not!

The ART of Avoiding a Train Wreck - European SAFe Summit 2020
Presentation as at the European SAFe Summit 10th June 2020
If you are thinking about launching your first Agile Release Train or you are struggling with your existing trains then this is the session for you! In The ART of Avoiding a Train Wreck, Em and Adrienne share their 'trade secrets' for launching and operating awesome Agile Release Trains. Going well beyond the standard SAFe training, this session deep dives into the practical tips and tricks that only over 15 combined years of real world experience can teach.

Failing @ Scaling Agile? Don’t Panic! & Carry a Towel
Presentation at Mastering SAP 21st May 2017
Struggling with agile at scale? Thinking about scaling agile beyond the team? Want to learn from others’ mistakes? There is a lot to be learnt from those who have successfully hitchhiked their way through the galaxy of scaled agile. This session celebrates the scaled agile hitchhiker, the people who bravely tried ideas that were occasionally brilliant but often plain stupid. You will laugh, you will cry but you will also walk away with a nice long list of ideas not to try when scaling agile!
• Seven failure patterns in scaling agile
• An understanding of why these patterns lead to less than optimal results
• Tips on how to avoid falling into these failure patterns

Scaling Agile Data Warehousing with the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe)
They said, “You can’t use Agile to deliver an Integrated Enterprise Data Warehouse!” but they were wrong. With a little bit of pragmatism and a whole lot of hard work, that is exactly what we did. When the Enterprise Data Warehouse delivery team began their Agile journey, they scaled from 1 to 6 teams in a matter of months and found themselves struggling to make the leap from agile projects to an Agile program. After reading Dean Leffingwell’s Scaling Software Agility and Agile Software Requirements Em Campbell-Pretty was inspired to establish Australia's first SAFe Agile Release Train. The session will cover how she applied the Scaled Agile Framework, transforming not only the delivery capability of the EDW team but also the culture. The audience will come away a recipe for applying agile to data warehousing and the secret ingredients to create the right culture.

BE A POD OF DOLPHINS, NOT A DANCING ELEPHANT
his talk will present the core concepts of Exponential Business Agility, or XBA. XBA is a set of patterns for organising value streams around self-organising, autonomous teams, and is part of the XSCALE approach to scaling agile. XBA combines the Spotify model with practice patterns drawn from the Iroquois Confederacy, the most successful and longest-lived holarchy in history.
Learn how Throughput Accounting optimises the contribution of each business function to top line throughput rather than blindly attempting to minimise operating expense.
And discover how Self-Propagating Transformation avoids pushing change into pre-existing teams, programs or silos, but generates agile capability by grafting the kernel of a new culture onto the trunk of the old.
Be a pod of dolphins, not a dancing elephant. Don’t try to scale agile. De-scale your organisation instead.
Prototyping for Business Outcomes at ModevUX

In the talk, Jessica and Erik discuss how to identify business outcomes, what prototypes are and are not, how to scope a prototype, and more.
How to Tear Down a Product by Patreon & Asana's Product Managers
How do you get good at product management? Practice of course. Marathoners don't just show up and run the race; they practice - distance, stamina, sprints, even core muscles. Product Managers from Patreon and Asana, Nick Fassler and Neil McCarthy, showed how you can practice through product teardown and hone your product senses.
Nick and Neil talked about how the product teardown key dimensions are default experience, new user experience, sharing/virality and monetization.

Shift left-devoxx-pl
The changing role of testing and test automation in the increasingly fast-paced world of continuous delivery and automated acceptance testing. Learn how, in a DevOps environment, testing activities start with requirements discovery and definition, playing a vital role in not only detecting defects, but preventing them, and ensuring not only that the features are built right, but the right features are built. And learn how test automation needs to happen during, not after, the sprint, and how you can achieve this.
Despite rumors to the contrary, the role of the tester is not diminished with the arrival of automated DevOps, with its ultra-rapid deployment cycles and its emphasis on automation. On the contrary, testers play a vital role in ensuring that the code that gets deployed ten times a day is worth deploying.
Marketing: Your Unexpected DevOps Allies
Development teams and sale/marketing teams aren't always BFFs. Too often, there is a master-slave relationship: either marketing dictates what the product team builds based solely on what is "sellable" with little consideration to timelines or what non-customer-facing work needs to be done, or the product team does a bunch of random work with little consideration for creating a strong marketing "story". But it doesn't have to be this way.
In the DevOps spirit of cross-team collaboration, why not recruit sales and marketing as your newest allies in the fight against workplace silos?
This talk will cover practical, battle-tested ways to work together towards a higher-quality and more marketable piece of software. I'll share examples of how product teams at Atlassian do it – drawing both from personal experience, and the experience of my fellow marketers. From semi-obvious things like information radiators, to deeper collaborations in roadmapping and release planning, there's a lot more you can do than just invite the sales team to your stand-ups.

[Da Nang Scrum Breakfast] Dealing with Technical Debt
Software developers use the term “Technical Debt” as a metaphor to convey the compromise between hitting the release date to meet the deadline and cleaning your code to ensure the quality. This could relate to financial debt when you could get money in a quicker and easier way but it comes with the duty of paying interest. In software development, incurring “Technical Debt” comes with extra work in the future and some other consequences.

Thawing the "Frozen Middle”
Presentation given at Agile 2015 in Washington D.C.
Is working with middle management the bane of your existence? Is middle management preventing progress with your agile adoption? Are the teams you are coaching being stifled by middle management? Or are you a middle manager trapped in the system struggling to break out and make a difference for your organisation? If you answered yes to any of the above questions then this session is for you!
Middle management, also known as the "frozen middle", are often bemoaned as blockers to progress. It never fails to amaze me how often a conversation in a room full of agile coaches will turn to the topic of “what to do about middle management”. Frequently the solutions I hear proposed are along the lines of “work around them” or “get rid of them”. In this session we will explore a different approach. Instead of removing middle management from the picture, how can we harness their energy to lead rather than hinder an agile transition?
In this interactive presentation, Em will share with you what it is like to be part of middle management, help you tap into your empathy by putting yourself in the shoes of middle management and provide you with numerous proven techniques to help managers at any level (frozen or otherwise!) accelerate their transition into agile leaders.
Thawing the Frozen Middle: The role of Managers in organisations using Scrum
Many enterprise Agile adoptions begin with a CIO on a stage announcing a Call to Agility. Coaches are engaged, teams respond enthusiastically and the executives eagerly await the promised benefits. When reality hits and things aren’t changing fast enough, the finger pointing starts, and more often than not the frozen middle are caught in the crossfire.
To add insult to injury, when an organisation introduces Scrum, middle management is often left wondering what their role is and how can they contribute? Many Agilists have suggested we should get rid of them. In my view, you need to embrace them as they do have a role to play, and an important one at that.
In this session, we will explore techniques for harnessing the energy of managers at any level: frozen or otherwise! We will help them accelerate their journey towards becoming agile leaders.
The presentation was given at Scrum Australia on 29th April 20166.

A Principles Based Approach to SAFe
Presentation to the Agile Nashville User Group, January 2015.
Are you working with multiple agile teams on a single software application? Are you looking for help with making agile work for you at the program level? Have you considered leveraging the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) but been scared off by its prescriptive nature? Are you confused about how program level SAFe applies in your context?
Every organisation is different and what works for one organisation may not work for another. One of the benefits of a framework, is that they can and should be adapted to your context. Based on learnings derived from practical experience, this session will illustrate how focusing on principles can help you design a pragmatic approach to program level SAFe suitable for your unique situation.
The Magic Carpet Ride - A business perspective on Devops
Presentation given at Agile 2015 in Washington D.C.
Having problems convincing your stakeholders to try DevOps? Confused about how DevOps can work at scale? Or even just wondering where to start with DevOps? Don’t worry you aren’t the only one!
Imagine being the business owner of an application that was the complete antithesis of Continuous Delivery i.e. no delivery ever! Ok that might be a slight exaggeration. Let’s just say the realisation of benefits from projects developed on this application were few and far between.
You are presented with Agile - a silver bullet - and you wait, and you wait and you wait, but the magic doesn’t happen. Eventually someone starts a conversation about “agile technical practices”, finally you know the spell to cast to make the magic carpet fly, or so you would think…..
If you want to hear the rest of the story you will just have attend this session. Set in the context of an Enterprise Data Warehouse, this session will tell the story of how a scaled agile adoption created the case for change and subsequent implementation of DevOps practices. This tale from the trenches will provide insights into both the mistakes made along the way and the ideas that made all the difference, in completely transforming the delivery capability of the organisation.

From Teams to Tribes: Creating a one team culture - #DOES15
“Birds flock, fish school, people “tribe”.” – David Logan
People naturally form tribes. It is just what we do. However, not all tribes are equally effective. Just like with regular teams it is the culture of the tribe that dictates its effectiveness. When it comes to succeeding with DevOps in the enterprise context it is necessary to think beyond the individual development and operations teams to all the teams involved in enhancing and maintaining the value stream, the entire tribe. When we launch DevOps initiatives we can get so focused on improving technical practices and how individual roles will change that we can easily forget to help the teams involved bond, foster a sense of belonging, shape their values and instil respect for one another. Succeeding with DevOps in the enterprise context requires explicitly creating and sustaining these attributes, building a culture beyond team’s individual identity to create a sense of tribal unity. In this session, Em will share with you her experiences and proven techniques for helping teams become effective and unified tribes.
Presented at the DevOps Enterprise Summit, 19th October 2015.

Failing @ Scaling: Don’t panic, and carry a towel!
Struggling with Agile at scale? Thinking about scaling Agile beyond the team? Want to learn from others’ mistakes? Well don’t panic, and carry a towel. After all, “any man who can hitch the length and breadth of the Galaxy, rough it, slum it, struggle against terrible odds, win through and still know where his towel is, is clearly a man to be reckoned with.”
There is a lot to be learnt from those who have successfully hitchhiked their way to the galaxy of Scaled Agile, but there is also much to learn from those who have gotten a little lost upon the way. This session celebrates the scaled Agile hitchhiker, the people who tried and failed, with ideas that were occasionally brilliant but often plain stupid. You will laugh, you will cry but you will also walk away will a nice long list of ideas not to try when scaling Agile!

Mission Impossible: Banking on a SAFe QuickStart
Imagine inheriting the job leading the "business as usual" change program for Westpac's new online banking platform. Your challenge, should you choose to accept it (like you have a choice), is to “turn it Agile”. You are “gifted” a SAFe Program Consultant, not that you know what that is. So you tell them of your predicament and ask if Agile will help.
As one would expect, the Agile consultant can see the path to agility. However, the recommended approach seems somewhat unconventional. A one-week immersion program that will transform the waterfall machine into an Agile Release Train!
Tune into this session to learn how one of Australia’s largest banks adopted Agile on a mission critical application overnight.
Attendees at this session will learn the benefits and pitfalls of using SAFe’s notorious Quick Start approach to implementing Agile, and the facts about what it really takes to “Quick Start” an Agile Release Train.
The Key to the SAFe: Principles over Practices
Presentation given at Agile 2014.
Are you working with multiple agile teams on a single software application? Are you looking for help with making agile work for you at the program level? Have you considered leveraging the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) but been scared off by its prescriptive nature? Are you confused about how program level SAFe applies in your context?
Every organisation is different and what works for one organisation may not work for another. One of the benefits of a framework, is that they can and should be adapted to your context. Based on learnings derived from practical experience, this session will illustrate how focusing on values and principles over practice and processes, can help you design a pragmatic approach to program level SAFe suitable for your unique situation.
By contrasting principles and practises this session will:
* draw out the principles behind SAFe and the standard SAFe practises that apply to them,
* show how practises from other scaling models align to SAFe principles and compliment program level SAFe; and,
* share real word examples of how adapting SAFe practises, while remaining aligned to the principles, can help you create a working model applicable to your program
Impact Mapping: Making an Impact over Shipping Software
Are you lost in a sea of business requirements? Are you struggling to articulate the business value of your technology project? Do your user stories lack context? Is there a lack of alignment between your delivery teams and business stakeholders? If you answered yes to one or more of these questions then this session is for you!
Impact Mapping is a facilitation technique that brings technologists and senior stakeholders together meaningfully to explore options. It exposes assumptions and helps shape a path from “We want everything” to “We want to to make these impacts in this order” avoiding the trap of solutions looking for problems.
This session provides an overview of how to create an Impact Map, share some real world examples of how impact mapping has helped support the delivery of software products and even provide an opportunity for you to start using the tool!

12 Habits of Effective Lean Leadership
What words come to mind when you think about Lean? Toyota? Six Sigma? Manufacturing? Waste? What about Leadership? Does that factor in your thinking? Leadership is often depicted as the foundation of lean, but what does this mean in practise? Is there a place for Lean Leadership in IT? There absolutely is.
In this session we will explore what it means to be a Lean Leader and the role of Leadership in supporting the house of Lean. This presentation extends well beyond theory, peppered with numerous practical real world examples of how Lean Leadership has been applied in IT. Attendees will leave this session armed with proven tools and techniques the help them on their journey to Lean Leadership.

Leadership is an Extreme Sport - Workshop @ LAST 2016
“We have diluted the meaning of leadership to such a profound degree that it’s become just another label. But LEADERSHIP is not that easy, so we con ourselves into believing that the WORD is the same as the ACTION.” - Steve Farber
Do you live in a world of pretenders? So called leaders that say one thing and do another?
Do you dream of being a different type of leader? Perhaps a great leader? Perhaps a leader who has an impact on the world?
Are you prepared to take a radical LEAP into a different approach to Leadership?
In this session we will explore the Extreme Leadership Framework from Steve Farber's book The Radical Leap and learn how to put the meaning back into the word leadership. Be prepared to step outside your comfort zone, face your fear and change the world!
Additional Info:
This is a 90 minute workshop based on material I learnt when I attended the Extreme Leadership workshop with Steve Farber in San Diego earlier this year. I want to share Extreme Leadership with that agile community as I believe it is an approach that is highly aligned with agile values. It is also an approach that can be applied by anyone,
Creating Agile Tribes: The secret to succeeding with Agile @ Scale
Program teams and departments will naturally form tribes, its human nature. It is the culture of the tribe that dictates its effectiveness. So, how do you move beyond a positive culture within a specific agile team to creating an entire program or department that people want to be a part of?
When we launch agile programs, we tend to teach our teams about the methodology, how their roles will change and how we expect them to be collaborative. What is often forgotten is the need to help these large program teams bond, foster their sense of belonging, shape their values and instil respect for one another. Successful Agile at Scale requires explicitly creating and sustaining these attributes, building a culture beyond team’s individual identity to create a sense of tribal unity.

LKCE15 - The Magic Carpet Ride: A business perspective on DevOps
Having problems convincing your stakeholders to try DevOps? Confused about how DevOps can work at scale? Or even just wondering where to start with DevOps? Don’t worry you aren’t the only one!
Imagine being the business owner of an application that was the complete antithesis of Continuous Delivery i.e. no delivery ever! Ok, that might be a slight exaggeration. Let’s just say the realisation of benefits from projects developed on this application were few and far between.
You are presented with Agile - a silver bullet - and you wait, and you wait and you wait, but the magic doesn’t happen. Eventually someone starts a conversation about “agile technical practises”, finally you know the spell to cast to make the magic carpet fly, or so you would think…..
If you want to hear the rest of the story you will just have to attend this session. Set in the context of an Enterprise Data Warehouse, this session will tell the story of how a scaled agile adoption created the case for change and subsequent implementation of DevOps practices. This tale from the trenches will provide insights into both the mistakes made along the way and the ideas that made all the difference, in completely transforming the delivery capability of the organisation.
Presented at Lean Kanban Central Europe in Munich, November 2015.
Scaling Agile Data Warehousing with the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe)
They said, “You can’t use Agile to deliver an Integrated Enterprise Data Warehouse!” but they were wrong. With a little bit of pragmatism and a whole lot of hard work, that is exactly what we did. When the Enterprise Data Warehouse delivery team began their Agile journey, they scaled from 1 to 6 teams in a matter of months and found themselves struggling to make the leap from agile projects to an Agile program. After reading Dean Leffingwell’s Scaling Software Agility and Agile Software Requirements Em Campbell-Pretty was inspired to establish Australia's first SAFe Agile Release Train. The session will cover how she applied the Scaled Agile Framework, transforming not only the delivery capability of the EDW team but also the culture. The audience will come away a recipe for applying agile to data warehousing and the secret ingredients to create the right culture.

From Teams to Tribes: Creating a One Team culture
Presentation at #Lastconf on 18th September 2015.
People naturally form tribes. It is just what we do. However, not all tribes are equally effective. Just like with regular teams it is the culture of the tribe that dictates its effectiveness. When we pull various technology teams to work on a program, product, value stream or Agile Release Train they will form a tribe, a team of teams.
When we launch agile programs, we tend to teach our teams about the methodology, how their roles will change and how we expect them to be collaborative. What is often forgotten is the need to help these large program teams bond, foster a sense of belonging, shape their values and instil respect for one another. Successful Agile at Scale requires explicitly creating and sustaining these attributes, building a culture beyond team’s individual identity to create a sense of tribal unity.
From Teams to Tribes: Creating a one team culture
This presentation was given at the itSMF Service Management 2015 conference in Sydney on the 20th August 2015.
People naturally form tribes. It is just what we do. However, not all tribes are equally effective. Just like with regular teams it is the culture of the tribe that dictates its effectiveness. When we pull various technology teams to work on a program, product or value stream, they will form a tribe, a team of teams.
When we look to improve the performance of the teams involved in enhancing and maintain a product or value stream, we we often get so focused on improving technical practices and individual performance that we can easily forget to help the teams involved bond, foster a sense of belonging, shape their values and instil respect for one another. To maximise the effectiveness of any team of teams, we need to take the time to build a culture beyond team’s individual identity to create a sense of tribal unity.

The Story of User Stories
User stories are too often thought of as just another way to gather requirements. That misses the point and can lead us down the path of aimless projects just trying to complete a set of predefined work.
Done right, users stores provide clear business purpose by answering the who, what, and why of specific business problems that should be addressed. In doing so, user stories help flesh out vision and value stream details that improve decision making across the organization and make delivery teams more effective.

Extreme SAFe - Turning Up the Flow in PI Execution
Presentation at the SAFe Summit 2022.
PI Planning is in the bag and the train has left the station, at last, you can relax. Or so you thought…. The first iteration is fairly quiet, the second seems smooth as well and then it happens, without warning you are over halfway through the PI and your train has derailed without any warning. How did this happen?! You held all the PI Execution events as described in the textbook but your train looks like it won't be delivering the cargo to the next station on time. What else could you have done?
What if you applied the Extreme Programming mantra to PI Execution, by taking proven good SAFe practices and then took them to the extreme or as we say turn up the good?
In this long-awaiting sequel to their 2021 SAFe Summit session about “Turning up the magic in PI Planning”, Em & Adrienne will show you how they take PI Execution to the next level by turning up the flow.
Learning outcomes:
- Recognise how the SAFe Principles can be applied to “turn up the flow” in SAFe PI Execution.
- Adapt the batch size of SAFe PI Execution Events to improve flow.
- Introduce new PI Execution patterns that enable greater flow.
The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Lean-Agile Leaders
Presentation at Agile Australia 2020 (December 2021!)
The foundation of a Lean-Agile organisation is Lean-Agile leadership. This is all well and good but it often requires a significant cultural shift to become a reality.
We know from Kotter’s Leading Change that to change the culture of the organisation we first have to change the habits of the organisation.
So what are the habits of effective Lean-Agile leaders? Join this session to explore the habits of effective Lean-Agile leaders, their origins in Lean/TPS/Japan and their application in today’s world.
Turning Up the Magic in PI Planning
Presentation by Em Campbell-Pretty & Adrienne Wilson at the Global SAFe Summit 2021
Mob Programming thought leader, Woody Zuill, suggests that instead of always focusing on solving problems, we also take the time to notice the things that are going well and amplify them, thereby "turning up the good". When it comes to SAFe Dean Leffingwell perhaps said it best: "There is no magic in SAFe . . . except maybe for PI Planning." I suspect most of you agree that PI Planning is the magic in SAFe. There is nothing quite like the energy created by bringing a group of 100+ people together to build a collaborative plan over a couple of days every 10 to 12 weeks. So what would it mean to "turn up the good in PI Planning"? If we focused on what is good and what we want more of, would we get more magic?! For Em and Adrienne, the answer is a resounding "Yes!" In this session, they will take the "The Facilitator’s Guide to PI Planning" and illustrate how turning up the good can bring your PI Planning magic to the next level.

Many organisations have been on legacy, business critical platforms far longer than they would have liked or want to be. Many organisations faced with the massive transition are tempted to revert to a waterfall approach to accomplish the mission. This talk will outline ways to move from the existing platform to the new architecture in an incremental way.
Learning Objectives:
1. Use the business Roadmap and Architectural Runway to understand how to incrementally move to a new technology platform
2. Define the business outcomes and align the migration effort to deliver those outcomes incrementally Learning Objective
2. Apply DevOps considerations from the beginning to help size and shape the total migration effort

What should you do when you have everything to lose? Be safe or be SAFe?
Keynote at the Women in Agile Gathering at the Gloabl SAFe Summit on 3rd October 2019.
When you are thrown in the deep end of the pool and you don’t know how to swim, it's a scary time. As a leader, it can be easy to try a radical new idea especially when you feel you have nothing to lose. But what if you have everything to lose? Fear can be paralyzing. It is the courageous leader that ‘steps into the arena and dares to be different’.
Attend this keynote to explore how leaders can survive and thrive by letting go of everything they think they have to lose and taking a radical leap into the unknown - with or without a net!
Self-Selection: A SAFe Approach to Forming Agile Release Trains
Presented on 2nd October 2019 at the Global SAFe Summit 2019.
When it comes to shaping agile teams, many organisations use a leader decides model. The design of the teams is often a very delicate balancing act. Skills, experience, subject matter expertise and personalities all need to be factored in and the end result is often less than ideal. So, what if we took a different approach? What if we let the people who are going to be in the teams decide for themselves which mix of skills, experience, subject matter expertise and personalities are going to work best? In this session you will learn how Sandy Mamoli & David Mole's approach to self-selection (aka Squadification) has been used with SAFe to empower people to choose who they work with. This warts and all tale from the trenches will arm you to attempt your own self-selection workshop when launching or reshaping Agile Release Trains.
Learning Objectives:
Explain the value of using self-selection to create teams
Identify where the standard self-selection guidance needs to be modified for SAFe
Prepare for & facilitate a self-selection event
Is There a Place for Individuals and Interactions in Enterprise Agility?
Presented at Agile2019 in Washington D.C.
Is Enterprise Agility an oxymoron? We say we value Individuals and interactions over processes and tools however, the enterprise agility space is drowning in processes and tools. There are countless frameworks and innumerable tools to measure every part of a teams performance to dizzying detail. But what about individuals and interactions? Does this get overlooked because it’s “too hard”? How does an enterprise scale an agile practice beyond a team, into a team of teams, or boldly into an entire enterprise but not lose sight of this principle?
In this session, Em & Adrienne will trade war stories with you about with Agile in the Enterprise and what role valuing Individuals and Interactions plays in successful transformations.
Learning Outcomes:
Identify Enterprise behaviours that are incongruent with valuing Individuals and Interactions, including leadership pitfalls.
Explain the economic benefit of valuing individuals and interactions
Describe the types of behaviours displayed by Enterprises that values Individuals and Interactions
Apply valuing Individuals and Interactions in an Enterprise context
Learning from the Books You Said You Read...
Presentation by Em Campbell-Pretty & Melissa Hay at Agile 2019.
Have you ever noticed how almost every speaker at every agile conference references a ton of books? Did you ever wonder if they even read those books? And if so, how did they remember what they read? And did they take action based on what they read?
What about the last book you read? What experiments did you run whilst reading the book or after finishing it? Or can you not remember the last time you read a non-fiction book?
We all know that trust, safety, flow and product orientation are keys to success with agile teams. We are all striving for high performing teams that deliver great products. Sometimes all the blogs, books and LinkedIn posts are just too much to consume. So how can we bring these ideas into our real world?
Here’s your opportunity to see how we go about learning from books. We will share examples of books we’ve digested and experiments we have run with real teams to see them thrive. This is the insiders’ guide to making a real difference with what you learnt from all the books you said you read.

The Seven Habits of Highly Effective Servant Leaders
Presentation at the Global SAFe Summit 4th October 2018.

Based on her debut book, Tribal Unity: Getting From Teams to Tribes by Creating a One Team Culture, Em Campbell-Pretty will share the proven patterns she has been successfully applying in the field over the past five years.

However, not all tribes are equally effective. Just like with regular teams it is the culture of the tribe that dictates its effectiveness.
When we look to improve the performance of these teams of teams, we often get so focused on improving technical skills and individual performance that we can easily forget to help the teams involved bond, foster a sense of belonging, shape their values and instil respect for one another. To maximise the effectiveness of any team of teams, we need to take the time to build a culture beyond the team’s individual identity to create a sense of tribal unity.

Tribal Unity Book Launch @ Agile Denver, 27th October 2016
Tribal Unity: The Heart of Scaling Agile
When it comes to agile at scale, it is necessary to think beyond a single agile team to a team of teams, the whole tribe. Just like with an individual agile team it is the culture of the tribe that dictates its effectiveness. So, how do you move beyond a positive culture within a specific agile team to creating an entire program or department that is a "great place to work"?
When we start to scale agile, we tend to teach our teams about the methodology, how their roles will change and how we expect them to be collaborative. What is often forgotten is the need to help these teams of teams bond, foster a sense of belonging, shape their values and instil respect for one another. Succeeding with Agile at Scale requires explicitly creating and sustaining these attributes, building a culture beyond team’s individual identity to create a sense of Tribal Unity.

Marvin neemt je in deze presentatie mee in de voordelen van non-endemic advertising op retail media netwerken. Hij brengt ook de uitdagingen in beeld die de markt op dit moment heeft op het gebied van retail media voor niet-leveranciers.

Merken die niet in de betreffende winkel liggen staan ook nog niet in de rij om op de retail media netwerken te adverteren.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.ppt
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder
