New tools, same human innovation
Evolve your operating model to incorporate AI capabilities.
Are you struggling to effectively integrate AI capabilities into your operating model while maintaining security, trust, and efficient workflow?
Adapting your operating model to include AI tools and agents is vital, but simply adopting AI without the correct guardrails and processes is a major risk to your organization.
"Organizations that have worked out how to empower autonomous teams of people are already in the best place to adopt Agentic AI." — Matthew Skelton, CEO/CTO of Conflux, co-author of Team Topologies.
Practices from Team Topologies and Adapt Together™ enhance your operating models, bringing AI-driven processes safely into alignment with human ways of working.

Enabling AI adoption with Team Topologies
Since its publication in 2019, the book Team Topologies, co-authored by Matthew Skelton, CEO/CTO of Conflux, has become the go-to reference for organizing business and technology teams for fast flow, helping organizations of all shapes and sizes move to more humane, flow-oriented approaches.
Team Topologies enables smooth AI adoption and scaling as it makes no distinction between human and AI team members.
"Team Topologies offers something Agentic AI desperately needs, but cannot invent on its own: clear boundaries, stable interfaces, aligned domains, and a culture of collaborative ownership." — Stuart Winter-Tear, Strategic AI Product Advisor
As a Team Topologies Solution Partner, Conflux leverages Team Topologies alongside it’s own proven practices, such as Adapt Together™ and Active Knowledge Diffusion (AKD), to create the most effective approach for organizing your teams for fast flow in the AI era.
“Let's do what it takes to empower teams of humans + AI agents to make decisions quickly, safely, and compliantly with high-fidelity domain knowledge and visibility of the data sources & results, plus the agency to address problems caused.”
— Matthew Skelton, CEO/CTO of Conflux, co-author of Team Topologies
Avoid AI adoption pitfalls
Organizations that fail to adapt risk severe market erosion; however, the implementation of AI capabilities demands careful attention to organizational dynamics.
Leadership teams need to provide clear context, prioritization, and cross-team coordination while maintaining the agility to deploy resources where needed to remove blockages. This approach must operate within a high-trust culture that enables teams to deliver value effectively.
Organizations embracing AI capabilities need to look beyond surface-level implementation to achieve sustainable integration. While smaller, agile organizations currently demonstrate advantages in AI adoption, larger enterprises can achieve similar results through strategic operating model refinement.
“Faster doesn't always mean better. The 2025 DORA report shows it clearly: AI helps people push out more work. But the real headaches - burnout, broken processes, clunky cultures - don't go away... Healthy teams climb higher, shaky ones fall faster. Tools don't change that. They just shine a light on it.” — Dr Laura Weis, Global Talent Innovation Director
Conflux helps you to develop a hype-free AI operating model, avoiding the pitfalls of a traditional tech procurement approach to AI adoption and incorporating AI capabilities while enabling fast flow and sustainable value delivery.
