Session Title

Pivoting with Purpose

Abstract

We all know the drill, pivot faster and embrace innovation in these turbulent times. But how do you ensure your process reaches outcomes that matter?

Gabrielle will give an introduction to Mobius, a navigator that allows you to create a customized innovation model connecting strategy to delivery.

Rather than prescribe one set of practices or one framework, this next-generation approach allows you to combine models in new and novel ways. Alistair Cockburn describes it as the ‘first real post-agile framework’, allowing people the structure and freedom to innovate effectively.

Gabrielle will show you some examples from social transformation in a war zone, pivoting a restaurant business model in 5 hours, to enterprise transformation at Red Hat.
