Keynote at Agile Australia 2025 - Economies of Empowerment

  • Sofitel Sydney Wentworth 101 Phillip Street Sydney, NSW, 2000 Australia (map)

Find success at speed and scale without having to choose Economies of Speed versus Economies of Scale!

Join us for an insightful keynote with Matthew Skelton, co-author of the award-winning and ground-breaking book Team Topologies, CEO/CTO at Conflux, as he explores how you can avoid the pendulum swing between speed and scale.

Many large organizations rely on structural models (Hub & Spoke, Federated, or Centralized) that, while familiar, often fall short in delivering effective execution at scale. This leads to costly oscillations that hamper outcomes and stifle innovation.

In this session, Matthew will reveal how embracing principles and practices like unbundling capabilities via APIs, aligned autonomy, team empowerment, and leadership-as-a-service can support scaling without slowdowns. Drawing on proven practices from RenDanHeYi/3EO, Team Topologies, and Adapt Together™, you’ll learn how to create ‘Economies of Empowerment’, a powerful approach that combines the benefits of both speed and scale without compromise.

Participants will discover insights on how to:

  • Break free from ineffective structural oscillations and build resilient, scalable organizations.

  • Leverage APIs, autonomy, and leadership models to accelerate innovation and execution.

  • Integrate proven principles to achieve sustainable growth that’s both rapid and scalable.

Explore how ‘Economies of Empowerment’ can drive your organization forward, join us at Agile Australia 2025.
