Facilitation Circus: Juggling introverts & extraverts
“This meeting was boring”
“We wasted our time with this Kumbaya nonsense”
“I need time to prepare and analyze on my own.”
This kind of feedback is hard to swallow but it proves one thing as a facilitator: there are times when you just don’t quite nail it with your audience. What if it simply depends on your audience’s personality? What if, as facilitators, we have a perception bias and tend to design workshops targeting our own personality type? What if we could just acknowledge it and design more inclusive workshops for both introverts and extraverts that combine the best of both worlds? Wouldn’t that be awesome?
In this workshop, Els & Erik will introduce you to the I-Facilitate method. Together, we’ll give you tools & tactics to create workshops that cater to both introverts and extroverts, recognizing the need for engaging interventions while respecting the introspective moments people need. We’ll look at how we can facilitate an environment where everyone feels safe enough to step up and stay out of our cozy spots without going into full-on panic mode. It’s all about pushing a bit beyond the comfort zone while keeping it safer for everybody.

Keynote: Human Robot Agent
Are software engineers headed for the end of coding, or will they have more legacy mess to solve than ever? Is AI eliminating gig work or enhancing freelance opportunities for everyone? Will algorithmic bosses enslave human workers or free them from traditional management? Is AGI already here or can we wait a while longer? And what role will humans have in the future of work?
This session unpacks highlights from the new book Human Robot Agent so that we can explore dilemmas, navigate complexity, and harness AI to thrive in a socio-technological and wicked world.
Fostering happiness in Agile teams, a neurochemical perspective
In a time where we want to drive product success and organizational growth, the well-being and happiness of Agile teams cannot be understated. "Fostering happiness in Agile Teams" is an interactive session that delves into the neuroscientific underpinnings of happiness in teams and provides practical strategies for Agile practitioners to create a thriving team environment.
This engaging talk will explore how the four key happiness chemicals (Endorphins, Dopamine, Serotonin, and Oxytocin) are crucial in shaping team dynamics, morale, and productivity. Through an interactive format, participants will be involved in activities that share knowledge on these chemicals and empower the attendees to apply these insights within their teams.
From burndown to burnouts - navigating the shift!
The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a rapid shift to remote work, which has had a significant impact on employee well-being. In this presentation, we will discuss the challenges of maintaining your well-being in a remote work environment and how to prevent burnout. We will share personal experiences of burnout and discuss the steps organisations and individuals can take to prevent it, such as creating a supportive work culture and checking in with colleagues. We will also discuss the importance of shifting the focus from agile metrics to your own health.
Closing & Networking
Before we close the event, we warmly invite you to join us for a drink. Take this opportunity to relax, connect, and share your experiences with fellow participants.

Your Product Is Brilliant, So Why Doesn’t Anyone Care?
Cutting-edge tech, a visionary team, rave-worthy demos… and deafening silence after launch. In this fast-paced, slightly provocative talk, Rachel pulls back the curtain on the harsh truth that tech glory ≠ market success. She dissects how ships sink when customers isn’t on board, and why brilliance without product-market fit is just an expensive prototype.
She unpacks real-world scars—from shipping years too early to falling for the siren song of “code first, sell later”—and shows how even textbook backlogs and perfect velocity can’t save a product no one wants. Along the way you’ll spot a few quiet agile fingerprints:
- Short, surgical experiments that replace months of speculation.
- Retrospectives that face the numbers, not just the feelings.
- User stories that earn their keep, because a story without a customer outcome is just fiction.
You’ll leave seeing every line of code as a business bet, every sprint review as a market pulse check, and failure as the entry fee for genuine innovation. Come for the tough love, stay for the playbook and walk out ready to build products customers would fight to pay for.
LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® meets IKIGAI

Shared Leadership for Better Understanding Agile Teams
Leadership has been considered from almost every angle, and the efforts are going strong. New ideas, books, and fads are popping up frequently. Are you curious if there is something more to say? It is time to embrace shared leadership. The concept established in management studies describes an emergent team phenomenon whereby leadership roles and influence are distributed among team members. This approach has surprising support in studies about team performance, creativity, and more. The author will share his hard (and less painful) multi-year experience with creating an environment and working as a leader, and share practical tips, present scientific research on leadership, including his own. Everyone can be a leader. Can this be all so simple? How are Agile Teams different? Expect some answers.
