Match made in Revenue: The economics of Business Agility
"Match Made in Revenue: The Economics of Business Agility" offers a fresh perspective on scaling business agility through economic principles like market friction, information asymmetry, and achieving critical mass. This 45-minute session unpacks how leading companies—such as Uber, Google, and Apple—overcome these challenges to optimise growth and agility. Attendees will discover actionable strategies to reduce operational inefficiencies, enhance decision-making transparency, and scale sustainably. The talk will provide key metrics for tracking progress and conclude with a dynamic Q&A to connect insights with participants’ real-world challenges.
Einstein Meets Executive: A Bold Exploration of Physics in Leadership
The Intriguing Intersection of Physics and Leadership
In business transformation, the most impactful leaders often draw inspiration from unexpected sources. One such source is the world of physics. At first glance, the laws governing the physical universe might seem distant from the nuances of leadership and team management. However, upon closer examination, there's a profound correlation that can provide unique insights into the art of guiding large-scale business transformations.
This session explores how principles from Einstein's theories of physics can be innovatively applied to team coaching and leadership. As we delve into this bold exploration, we'll uncover how the fundamental laws of physics can offer a fresh perspective and approach to managing people, processes, and change in the dynamic business landscape.
The Fast & The Flawless: Agility Lessons from Wall Street to the Factory Floor
Agility isn’t just about moving fast — it’s about knowing when your environment requires stability, precision, or flawless execution instead.
Drawing from over two decades across two extremes — high-speed finance at J.P. Morgan and high-quality manufacturing at Toyota — Louisa shows why the same Agile practices behave differently depending on the system’s “physics.”
Using real stories and a straightforward model (velocity × system mass), she explains the four context parameters that determine whether an organisation should prioritise speed, quality, or stability.
A high-impact talk for leaders navigating complex delivery, scaling, and operational readiness across IT and business ecosystems.
Mapping the Path to Scale: Coaching Beyond Product Delivery
Imagine a product team with diverse skills but lacking a clear vision and direction. Despite its potential for greatness, the team struggles with miscommunication, conflicting priorities, and a culture that stifles innovation. Multiply that by 1300 other product teams facing similar challenges within the same organisation. How can you scale up without undermining business agility, which is all about being fit for purpose and just-in-time delivery? These were the issues we faced, and our journey from that point to high-performing teams is a testament to the transformative power of effective coaching strategies in product development.
We recognised the importance of establishing a common vocabulary across all job families and roles, and used a sports analogy to remain relatable.
• Get ready: Structure – organisational design, product boundaries, and strategic tools.
• Get steady: Culture - bring the customer to the heart of everything we do, improve value delivery at an operational level using metrics consistently across the board.
• Get (on)going: Processes - inspection and adaptation at a tactical level to allow for rapid response to evolving requirements.
