Agile Internet of Things innovation
John-Ross Barresi | Project & Innovation Coordinator, Senior O&M Specialist, Guide Dogs Victoria
Chen Zhu | IoT Director, ThoughtWorks
In this talk, Chen and John-Ross will share their experiences with ‘Agile Hardware Innovation’, which involves rolling out innovative hardware initiatives through the “Discover, Define and Deliver” process.
When we think about Agile, it is usually in the context of software development, and yet Agile is relevant across many disciplines. Using a recent client example, they will talk about using Agile to create a Smart Cane for Guide Dogs Victoria, plus challenges they faced along the way.
Guide Dogs Victoria (GDV) is a charity that provides vital support to Australians with impaired vision or blindness, helping them achieve independent mobility. People with low vision face daily challenges, including navigating busy intersections, where they can easily veer outside of the safe crossing zone. This can significantly restrict their ability to travel individually.
ThoughtWorks partnered with GDV to observe and understand the challenges and needs of their clients, before exploring a number of potential prototypes that could be developed to address this issue. Together they designed and built four low fidelity prototypes, helping users ‘line-up’ while preparing to cross the road and providing them with feedback to ensure they stay in the safe crossing zone. After this initial discovery phase, they tested each solution with real users and narrowed the focus to build the most ergonomic and technically feasible solution.
Exposure to working with world leaders in her early 20’s revealed to Alison Cameron that no one (including the wisest leaders and experts) had the answers to humanity’s most challenging and complex problems. Her life has since been spent exploring how we might, as a humanity and as leaders rise to meet these challenges. As a co-founder of Adaptive Cultures Alison works with complex global organisations in enabling cultural evolution and adaptive leadership. She works with organisations to help them to positively disrupt and make a greater contribution to their customers and their world. The Adaptive Cultures practitioner programs have enabled a community of leaders and culture practitioners around the world to create sustainable systemic transformation. Alison has a cut-through style that calls us to the task of living our best selves in an authentic, engaging and meaningful way, guiding senior executives and global influencers to living more of their wisdom and compassion.

Process
Adam Boas | CTO, MyXplor
Perhaps process improvement and development methodologies are not what has made Agile such a success in improving outcomes for delivery teams and companies.
Software, and ultimately business value for software company customers, is delivered by people. Those people are the most important factor in success for a product or a project. Not ideas, not tools, and certainly not processes. If this is true, perhaps we have been focussing on the wrong things. Perhaps process improvement and development methodologies are not what has made Agile such a success in improving outcomes for delivery teams and companies.
Agile has been a significant change agent and has experienced rapid adoption. It may well be that some of us have lost our way. This talk explores people and what it is about Agile that seems to attract great talent. It explores the Agile principles that allow us to harness that talent and it looks at some of the things that may look Agile, yet inevitably seem to drive off those talented people.

The AI condition
Ellen Broad | Independent Data Consultant and Author
AI can be all too human: quick to judge, capable of error, vulnerable to bias. It’s made by humans after all.
Humans design the systems and tools that make new forms of AI faster. Humans are the data sources that make AI smarter. Humans will make decisions about how to use AI. The laws and standards, the tools, the ethics. Who benefits. Who gets hurt. This thought-provoking talk will build on research conducted from Ellen’s book Made by Humans which explores our role in automation and the responsibilities we must take on.

Enabling cultural evolution
Alison Cameron | Founder and Director, Adaptive Cultures and The Leadership Retreat
The purpose of the session is to provide you with practical insights and strategies that you’ll be able to use immediately to sustainably evolve yourself, your organisation and your world.
Many organisations espouse the need to build adaptive, sustainable cultures. Yet, in reality, these organisations typically use traditional change management methods that only serve to reinforce the corporate culture status quo. Adaptive methodologies that demand significant organisational learning are required to build more Agile cultures.
Join to session to gain:
- A practical framework for identifying the current stage of cultural evolution of your organisation, allowing you to take the steps required to help your organisation achieve its aspirations and progress further on its unique culture journey.
- Valuable insights into how the development of human consciousness is essential to create sustainable transformation (and how this starts with you).
- The key principles you need to apply for a successful and sustainable cultural evolution.
- An awareness of the biggest mistakes organisations make when transforming culture and how you can learn from them.
You’ll leave this session equipped with the frameworks and methods needed to spark a cultural transformation.

Humanity over bureaucracy: How an innovative management model drives social impact around the world (The Buurtzorg Story)
Stephan Dyckerhoff | President and CEO, Buurtzorg Asia and Buurtzorg China
Buurtzorg uses Lean management and fully self-organised teams to successfully reduce overheads, maximise resources and ensure efficient delivery – as recognised by its status as a Teal organisation.
Originally developed in Holland by nurse Jos de Blok in 2006, Buurtzorg is a nursing organisation that operates under an entirely self-managed structure. The Buurtzorg model sees small, autonomous teams of trained nurses provide in-home medical care to patients. This unique community care model places central emphasis on helping patients regain their independence; giving nurses the freedom to holistically address patients’ needs. Buurtzorg uses Lean management and fully self-organised teams to successfully reduce overheads, maximise resources and ensure efficient delivery – as recognised by its status as a Teal organisation.
Stephan Dyckerhoff brought Buurtzorg to Asia in 2014 and, since then, has begun to revolutionise health and social care in select Asian countries. In this presentation, Stephan will provide an introduction to the Buurtzorg concept and its positive impact on healthcare in Holland. Stephan will also share his experience implementing Buurtzorg in Asian countries, detailing how he adapted the model to account for cultural differences while still retaining its core essence.

Embedding a research model into Transport for NSW
Sherri Fields | Principal Manager of Research, Transport for NSW
This presentation will outline the new Research Model the agency has adopted and explain how we are collaborating internally to improve engagement with Universities.
Transport for NSW (TfNSW) was formally established in November 2011 to coordinate the transport system across NSW. It is tasked with integrating planning and service delivery across all modes of transport and ensure the customer is central to decision making. In 2017, a new Research Unit was created to set the strategic research directions for the agency, provide greater transparency to research being undertaken across TfNSW and encourage research participation with the academic sector on Transport’s difficult business problems. TfNSW formally launched its Research Hub in June 2018.
This presentation will outline the new Research Model the agency has adopted and explain how we are collaborating internally to improve engagement with Universities. It will focus on how the model is embedding a new change to the way we are working across our large agency and discuss some of the example projects where we are adding value to the our business.
