Presentation

RE.VERS.IFY (RE.IMAGINING YOUR ORGANISATION)

Imagination is what distinguishes innovative from lagging organisations. Any organization, regardless its size, location or age, can be re-imagined, re.vers.ified, to exploit its intrinsic potential to innovate and lead.

Scrum creates room for action. Organisations re.imagine their Scrum to converge their product delivery into a Scrum Studio. Divisions dissipate into a structure of product hubs connected through purpose and distributed leadership.

Gunther introduces re.vers.ify as an act of simplicity, rhythm and focus. Gunther has consolidated over a decade of his experience, ideas, beliefs and observations of Scrum. Gunther sees the Scrum Studio is the current way forward to re.vers.ify.
