Agile Product Builders by Boldare (Boldare, digital product creators and consultants)

Agility has become a buzzword and something companies do not expect to directly influence the revenue. Here is the moment where we'll prove them wrong. Our special guests, Mikko Virtanen, a co-CEO and co-Founder of Agile day will share a personal story full of learnings for business leaders. Mikko and his 250-person team developed digital customer experience solutions for clients in Nordic countries. They believed in putting people at the center, fostering a culture of inspiration, inclusion, and autonomy. In 2017, they began a 24-month transformation in a 600-person global laboratory. Driven by a need to rethink management models, they developed new beliefs, models, and practices through hands-on work. They explored books, articles, videos, and podcasts, finding their insights aligned with leading thinkers. This feedback loop between academia and real-life experiments made their progress systematic and boosted their confidence. Join to hear how Mikko pulled it off. 💡 About the series: Are you ready to revamp the way you create digital products week after week?
