What you will learn during this two-day masterclass

Org Topologies™ will enable you to master the journey toward higher states of adaptivity, regardless of where you currently are. Your organization will become more customer-focused, allowing you to stay relevant to both your customers and stakeholders in the long run.

Before making changes, it is essential to have a solid understanding of the existing system. The course is led by the creators of Org Topologies™ in an innovative format called "Org Design Studio", which allows participants to easily sketch, prototype, iterate, evaluate and improve various organizational design options.

Watch the recording from the ScrumDōjō Beer meetup, where Alexey and Roland introduced Org Topologies™ to the Czech community.
