Title of Presentation: Continuous Improvement at Scale - How to identify and resolve systemic impediments to progress.

The problem with retrospectives is that the learning identified often remain locally to the team. The wins, failures and improvements a team makes doesn't get shared widely. That knowledge is a resource & a powerful one.

What if you could zoom out across teams of teams?

Join me for an interactive exploration of my top tips, strategies, and hacks for continuous improvement at scale.

Together, we will explore how to break down silos and encourage collaboration between teams, how to identify systemic impediments that impact the entire organization, and how to leverage the power of retrospectives to drive change at scale.
