The main year’s theme is “Growing into agility”. All started by asking ourself a question: is an organization transformed in a way that anables agility, or is it progressively evolving toward that direction?

We want to explore the latter answer so this year we are focused on different approaches – technical, practical, umanistic and business – helping an organization progress in its own, personal trail towards agility.
