Trying to turn a cruise-liner like a speed boat

Many people are working for big corporate organisations wishing they could move a little faster. They often fear the threat that comes from start-up disruptors that are able to move quickly and drive the same level of development change as they do. There are ways though, of getting the bigger cruise-liner that are these big corporates to move quicker by not trying to steer it like a speed boat, but in embracing their own strengths and becoming a better ship navigator.

In this talk, I will share the challenges encountered and the strategies employed to foster a shift towards innovation and excellence in development and testing practices. It's not just about adopting new methodologies but understanding the existing corporate strengths and culture. I'll highlight how I navigated through obstacles, influencing a positive cultural transformation, and, in turn, contributing to the company's emergence as a powerhouse in the industry.

Attendees can expect to learn not only about successful strategies but also gain a deeper understanding of the intrinsic strengths of the corporate culture. The talk emphasizes the importance of embracing the existing corporate DNA to drive meaningful development, creating a harmonious blend of innovation and tradition. Join me on this insightful journey of corporate reform, where we explore the delicate balance required to turn a corporate behemoth into a dynamic and successful development and testing powerhouse.
