[FREE EVENT] PM Insight Sunnyvale Virtual Meeting - Business Transformation through Scaled AgileBusiness transformation involves making fundamental changes in how business is conducted in order to help cope with shifts in market environment. History has shown how businesses that failed to make those fundamental shifts have failed dramatically. Increasingly Business transformation has been associated with Digital transformation of the organizations, and those companies that drive the Digital first strategy are the ones that succeed. The key operative word in digital transformation is the ability to drive thetransformation. Successful transformation requires the companies to embrace agility. Transforming the enterprise requires Scaling Agility to the enterprise. Though there are a few approaches to scaling agility, none have been as successful as the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe). In this presentation, we will cover how Scaled Agile Framework helps to drive various aspects of Digital Transformation in Organizations, and in turn successfully enable Business Transformation. We will also cover what is the role of a Program Manager in Scaling Agility. |

SV Monthly Book Club: Amazon Unbound: Jeff Bezos and the Invention of a Global EmpireBook of the month:Amazon Unbound: Jeff Bezos and the Invention of a Global Empireby Brad Stone
Book Selection for December: Amazon Unbound: Jeff Bezos and the Invention of a Global Empire by Brad Stone Almost ten years ago, Bloomberg journalist Brad Stone captured the rise of Amazon in his bestseller The Everything Store. Since then, Amazon has expanded exponentially, inventing novel products like Alexa and disrupting countless industries, while its workforce has quintupled in size and its valuation has soared to nearly two trillion dollars. It’s almost impossible to go a day without encountering the impact of Jeff Bezos’s Amazon, between services like Whole Foods, Prime Video, and Amazon’s cloud computing unit, AWS, plus Bezos’s ownership of The Washington Post. We live in a world run, supplied, and controlled by Amazon and its iconoclast founder. In Amazon Unbound, Brad Stone presents an “excellent” (The New York Times), deeply reported, vividly drawn portrait of how a retail upstart became of the most powerful and feared entities in the global economy. Stone also probes the evolution of Bezos himself—who started as a geeky technologist totally devoted to building Amazon, but who transformed to become a fit, disciplined billionaire with global ambitions, who ruled Amazon with an iron fist, even as he found his personal life splashed over the tabloids. Definitive, timely, and “engaging” (Jon Meacham, author of The Soul of America), Stone has provided an unvarnished portrait of a man and company that we couldn’t imagine modern life without.
