A fresh approach to value delivery at speed
Your organization is inefficient and crippled by slow delivery. Dependencies between teams slow down the delivery of value to customers and users. Time-to-value increases with no obvious way to “manage things better” — what you need is a fresh approach to value delivery at speed.
This leadership workshop explores how to create and sustain a nimble, humane organization capable of delivering digital services at speed and scale.
Based on Team Topologies, it demonstrates how fast flow, delivering continuous streams of changes safely and sustainably, can transform your operating model.
You’ll learn key principles and patterns, linking core ideas from Team Topologies to your organizational context.
Adopting fast flow as a guiding principle fosters broader business agility by decoupling components and focusing on what truly delivers value.
Deep insights from real-world implementations
Curated by Matthew Skelton, CEO at Conflux and co-author of Team Topologies, this Masterclass distills critical success patterns from global customer engagements. Move beyond theory to practical, proven approaches that accelerate fast flow adoption within your organization.
Based on direct experience since 2017, years of consulting and implementation expertise have been condensed into four high-impact sessions, focusing on fast flow as a key organizing principle for generalized business agility, as well as providing an increased awareness of the scope of investment and strategic initiatives needed for fast flow transformation.
What you'll gain
Understand how Team Topologies ideas relate to core operating principles.
Co-discover some key principles and patterns for fast flow based on fundamental operating constraints.
Enhance your awareness of the organizational dynamics needed for fast flow at scale.
Awareness of size and scope of investment needed for fast flow transformation.

“I found the learning experience to be very engaging and conversational, handled in a mature manner, and complemented by a great set of exercises to test how well we absorbed the material and how we could apply it.
