Łukasz Szóstek has been an independent cosultant for more than a decade. He helps companies to achieve strategic clarity and operational excellence. His approach is a blend of methodologies rooted both in industry and research that allow organizations to operate efficiently under uncertain or changing conditions. These methodologies (including his own called Value-based Decisions) were developed, tested and applied in a broad spectrum of organizations from multinational corporations to startups, NGOs and governmental institutions.

Designing an (Agile) Organization, Lessons from scaling technical orgs

1. Can an entire organization be successfully (re)designed?
2. Given how often even modest changes fail to take hold, is this task even worth attempting?
3. And, crucially, can we ensure that those smaller changes succeed more frequently?

The answer to all three questions is “yes”. I have spent over four years, working with two separate companies to scale beyond their startup size and culture and I believe we uncovered some universal patterns.

I will share real stories, detailing both the successes and failures and how you could apply (engineering) skills you might already have to improve the odds of successful organizational change.
