About the session
Interactive. PowerPoint-free. High-energy.
Niels will discuss with us how every organization can move toward flow, self-organization and high performance — by abandoning centralized steering and command-and-control management.
This isn't abstract theory. He'll show how to make the change happen in practice — fast, effectively, in teams and across whole organizations. What proven concepts get us unstuck? What beliefs, patterns, tools, structures and frameworks must we leave behind to build a high-performing, democratic structure?
The answer: an awful lot. This session is about breaking through the barriers that have stood in the way of truly agile, truly democratic ways of working.
