How can organizations move beyond the pendulum swing of Economies of Speed versus Economies of Scale?
Join us for an insightful talk with Matthew Skelton, co-author of Team Topologies and CEO/CTO at Conflux, as he challenges traditional organizational thinking at the Fast Flow Conference 2025. In this talk, Matthew shares insights from helping hundreds of organizations to apply principles and practices from Team Topologies, Adapt Together™, and related approaches to scale nimble value delivery via empowered teams and ‘Economies of Empowerment’.
Many organizations struggle to scale ways of working as the organization or department grows, stifling innovation and delivery effectiveness.
Instead of a back-and-forth pendulum between optimizing for scale or speed, you can get the best of both approaches by organizing for empowerment. Using ‘Economies of Empowerment’ as the organizing principle drives clarity of mission, purposeful boundaries that work for flow, continuous adaptation to new technologies, and rapid innovation via cross-team learning and sharing.
Key takeaways:
Operating effectively at scale and speed requires us to look beyond structures, frameworks, and processes
Focus on empowering teams to be effective stewards of long-lived services using principles from Team Topologies
Drive engagement, trust, and alignment via Active Knowledge Diffusion and cross-team learning
Meet the needs of COO, CFO, and other ExCo roles with a clear narrative around both value delivery and financial performance
Join us at the Fast Flow Conference 2025 to explore how to scale nimble value delivery via empowered teams and ‘Economies of Empowerment’.
