Most IAM and IGA projects don’t fail because of technology.
They struggle because the project and the solution are too rigid for a business that changes every quarter.

In this session, we look at how to build flexibility into Identity & Access Management from day one.
We combine project best practices with real-world lessons from IGA platforms like Omada and cloud services such as Microsoft Entra.

We’ll walk through:

From rigid roadmap to adaptive delivery
How to structure IAM projects in phases, handle changing requirements, and still keep control over scope, budget, and quality.

Designing flexible IAM & IGA architectures
Patterns for roles, policies, workflows, and connectors that survive M&A, org changes, cloud migrations, and new regulations without constant rework.

Governance without paralysis
How to balance control and speed: who decides, who approves, and how to avoid “design by committee” in IAM.

Lessons learned from the field
Concrete examples of what worked (and what didn’t) in real IAM and IGA programs, including takeaways inspired by initiatives like Project BlackCat.

You will leave with a playbook of principles, patterns, and guardrails.
So your IAM projects stay flexible – even when your business does not.
