Team Topologies as the 'Infrastructure for Agency' with AI

How can your organization adopt AI successfully and humanely to deliver tangible results while mitigating risk?

Join Matthew Skelton, co-author of Team Topologies and CEO/CTO at Conflux, as he shares insights on how challenging traditional operating models and applying Team Topologies patterns and principles can drive success in the age of AI.

The Team Topologies Second Edition demonstrates that organizations worldwide are achieving outsized results by organizing business and technology for fast flow of value via empowered teams. Evidence also shows that organizations already organizing for bounded agency in humans are uniquely well-suited to adopting AI effectively and humanely.

The core principles from Team Topologies, organizing and empowering teams around independently-viable services, making cognitive load a key design principle, and making capabilities available via clear “vending machine” interfaces, fit the AI space well, providing effective guardrails and heuristics for enabling safe and compliant AI agency.
