“Birds of Feathers sit together” …together on the same wave…
People with similar interests and goals often find a common language and inspire each other. At the 16th annual Project, Agile & Leadership conference, we put the British idiom “Birds of Feathers” into practice and developed it into thematic areas. This platform aims to promote reflection and joint discussion on specific topics and issues and, of course, joint networking. Let’s come together to seek new perspectives, share previous experience and create a space for the exchange of ideas. We invite you to join the discussion and networking and look forward to flying together towards new possibilities.
Annotation: “Vision? Delivered!”
Birds of Feathers is a creative format where individuals are invited to discuss a particular topic based on their roles. This session focuses on CEOs, exploring the theme “Vision? Delivered!” Facilitated by Roman Senecký and Martin Klusoň, this discussion will be grounded in practical experience and habits sharing rather than hypothetical or theoretical concepts. In the first half, we will share insights on working with personal and company visions.
The second half will address how to be competitive by delivering these visions rapidly – using project and agile delivery. Jitka Jungmanová (exceptional scatchnoter) will capture the essence of our conversation for everybody to take advantage from the destilled wisdom.
This session is by invitation only.
