Looking for a mindset-shifting keynote for your internal conference or management off-site? Needing to inspire both technical and non-technical audiences, with content customized for maximum relevance, and to support the leaders in implementing the message? Get Gil Broza.
Get your mind set on Agile
Agile can help you achieve better business outcomes, and it’s not just for techies. Contrary to popular belief, however, you’re unlikely to create agility merely by implementing practices and tools. Instead, it’s the mindset – the subjective and abstract choices you and others make as you work – that will produce agility. Gil will make the mindset tangible and share practical strategies for adopting it.
The Director of Enterprise Agility at a financial institution had this to say:
“Gil was the keynote speaker for our internal Agile conference. He did a fantastic job helping attendees understand not only the importance of having an Agile mindset, but also why one is essential for any organization going through an Agile transformation. He presented the content in a relatable, interesting and thought-provoking way. He helped participants understand how having an Agile mindset is something we all can and should embrace. It is obvious Gil is an expert in this space, and I highly recommend him as a keynote speaker for any organization regardless of where they are on their Agile journey.”

Individuals and Interactions: Ten Lessons from Putting People Before Process
For decades, most technology businesses have considered standardized processes to be a key ingredient to their success. Other enterprises made a different assumption: that cultivating their staff and growing teams, who would own their processes, was a better enabler of success. Agile, which has been in widespread use for the last 15 years, is an example of such a mind-set. Truly valuing individuals and interactions over processes and tools is challenging, yet many organizations have made it work. Along the way, they’ve discovered necessary conditions for sustaining people-first environments, as well as a host of surprising benefits that carry over to all forms of knowledge work. In this talk, Gil Broza will share the top 10 lessons of putting people before process, learned from real-world Agile implementations.
