Welcome to Agile Islands 2022!

Agile Islands Conference

The Agile Islands conference of 2022 will be held on Tuesday September 27:th.

For 2022, we are taking the conference to the next level by going hybrid. This means that both speakers and attendees can attend onsite in Mariehamn or/and online. This way we can offer an exciting onsite experience and at the same time attract speakers and attendees who wouldn’t have the chance to travel to Åland.

This year we have many great speakers, who will share their valuable insight about today’s relevant and interesting topics. The keynote will be held by Anssi Rantanen, who will present to us “What do the fastest growing organisations in the world do differently and what can we learn from them?”

See you on the conference!

Join us on our journey towards an agile society

Agile Islands is a vision of Åland being the number one agile community in the world.

This means that all parts of the society are based on agile values and they are leading examples in agile methods and practices in their respective areas, regardless if the organisation is based on commercial, public or non-profit principles.

We believe that a common view on focusing organisations based on agile values and practices gives the society a unique possibility to cooperate.

We believe that all parts of a community are better, efficient and creates more value if run by agile values and practices, irrespective of the being commercial or non-profit organisations. In addition we trust that the leading agile community in the world is an extraordinary place to live in, regardless of being born or having migrated to the Ålands islands.

Meet this year’s speakers

Coacha i ditt eget team. De flesta verktyg och metoder som jag stött på runt coaching och att coacha team handlar om hur du som utpekad ”utomstående” coach skall coacha individer i eller hela team. Dessa metoder och verktyg är oftast effektiva och användbara och jag lägger nöjt ned dem i min verktygslåda för att plocka upp dem nästa gång jag skall coacha ett team. Så här fungerar det nog för de flesta som är intresserade av coaching på något sätt.

Louise Callenberg & Daniel Thysell

Hur kan du bli agil i offentlig sektor? Var och hur börjar man? Och hur förvandlar man manifestet och ceremonierna för att passa byråkratiska och silosstrukturerade organisationer? Dessa och många andra frågor besvaras i en dialog mellan senior agile coach Daniel Thysell och agile scrum master wannabee Louise Callenberg i ämnet: är agilt möjligt i offentlig sektor och hur börjar du din resa? Vilket hinder har man att jobba med och hur undviker man agil teater och bara ord?

Hör fabrikschef Linda Sundström med sin kollega Petra Heinonen beskriva vad TEAL är, vad man gjorde och hur det har gått.

Jonas Söderström

Trots den ”exponentiella utvecklingen” inom tech, är produktivitetstillväxten mycket svag och avtagande - i vissa fall till och med negativ. Varför får vi inte ut de effekter vi borde från miljardsatsningar på ny digital teknologi? Varför säger ekonomer att vi är inne i en tid av "teknologisk inbromsning"?
