Here's some background on our awesome guest speaker:

Myles is the founder and CEO of Be Agile which is a boutique global consulting company that prides itself in guiding and enabling their clients to thrive in a highly disruptive and evolving world.

They partner with organisations to imagine and drive adaptive strategies that deliver accelerated and disruptive innovation and time to market. They developed the IMPACT Framework™ to address the disconnect that many organisations experience in connecting strategy to delivery i.e. one group of people working on strategy, with another working on innovation, yet another working on delivery, etc, etc.

It is their mission to support and grow the global agile community and to champion the concept of "one community for all". On 26 September 2020 they won the award for the Community Organisation category at the World Agility Foundation Awards.
