Pods of Anarchy

Unleashing limitless potential through dynamic reorganisation.

We are taught that stable teams make a huge difference to performance because they learn how to optimise their processes and work together effectively. However, in industries where change is the only constant, this notion of stability quickly becomes in odds with the necessary flexibility needed for productivity.

This talk will walk through the journey that led Xero to experiment with self organising teams, how we actually made it happen and the early results that we are seeing.
