Business Agility – Midwest<\/a> is less than a week and a half away! Jesse Huth and I spoke at the inaugural Business Agility conference<\/a> in New York City a few years ago and since then Evan Leyborn<\/a> and the Business Agility Institute<\/a> have basically gone viral, hosting conferences and workshops all over the world. Seriously, I don\u2019t know when Evan sleeps, but he\u2019s done an amazing job on growing this body of work.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Talk<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

On November 6, I have the pleasure of giving the opening keynote for the Business Agility – Midwest Conference with Sanjiv Augustine<\/a> of Lithespeed<\/a>, a man I have enjoyed working with since we first ran the agile transformation at National Geographic together. All of the credit of getting me on-stage goes to Sanjiv who secured the slot and then decided to talk about something he and I have been kicking around for a little bit.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our talk is called \u201c3 Sparks for Business Agility\u201d. Business Agility doesn\u2019t start or exist in a vacuum. There needs to be multiple areas of the business working together towards a common goal of agility. If any of you know my talks well, I tend to get really tactical and this talk is no exception. The main points will be on leveraging Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) to meet your business goals, forming a Product Council, and managing value with an Agile Value Management Office.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tickets<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re in the Midwest, please join us in Columbus, OH November 6-7. There are still tickets available<\/a> and they\u2019re very reasonably priced. In addition to Sanjiv and I you\u2019ll hear from Fin Goulding<\/a> and Haydn Shaughnessy<\/a> on Flow, Mik Kersten<\/a>, Maureen Metcalf<\/a>, Tamar Williamson<\/a>, Dan Manges<\/a>, Sam Rassekh<\/a>, and a whole host of other wonderful speakers.  
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

See you there!
