Demystifying Agile Industrial Complex: Errors & Omissions with Scaling

Bad scaling is one of the biggest 'agile problems' of modern days for companies - and one of the three most expensive mistakes companies make when they set themselves on a wrong 'agile course'. The other two are "agile tools" mania and falling a victim to big consultancies "industrial model" - see/play David Snowden's view HERE.
Bad scaling comes in the form of trivializing agility at its core, weakening agile roles, plagiarizing and relabeling someone else's experiments and calling them 'operating models', copy-pasting Scrum and Scrum roles into Fractal Geometry that look great on paper.
Are there better ways to work? Probably not, if the ultimate goal is to relabel existing enterprise complexity with fancy agile terminology and then call it "enterprise scaling". But there could be better ways to work if an ultimate goal is to simplify existing complexity (de-scale), and by doing so improve your chances to scale agile ways of working.
In this session, GENE GENDEL will expose some classic pitfalls of bad scaling and will recommend how more things could be done better and in different ways than companies do today.
Audience can expect some 'aha' moments, and walk away with a deeper understanding of system thinking and a fresh perspective on how to maintain relevancy in the current marketplace for agile.
