The Wrong That Looks Right: Rethinking Organizational Improvements.

Organizations constantly strive for efficiency and growth, often embracing best practices, restructuring strategies, and process improvements that seem effective—but may ultimately backfire.

Session Title:
From Coffee Breaks to Code Breaks: AI’s Agile Journey
Abstract:
AI isn’t here to steal the show. It takes care of the boring stuff, leaving you free to innovate, problem-solve, and yes, grab that third cup of coffee guilt-free. While bots don’t need breaks, they do make sure you can stay agile—and a little more zen.
Picture this: your sprint planning gets a turbocharge from an AI assistant that not only remembers everything but also predicts risks and suggests who’s best suited for each task—no drama, no complaints, just results.
During execution, AI doesn’t just watch the clock; it powers through the grunt work:
- Automated testing? Done.
- Sorting out the chaos of your backlog? Handled.
- Turning vague user stories like “Make it awesome” into actionable tasks? AI has your back while the rest of the team debates whose turn it is to get snacks.
Agile teams thrive on collaboration, creativity—and caffeine. While humans take well-deserved coffee breaks to refuel and exchange the latest office gossip, AI stays laser-focused on the code breaks, ensuring the workflow doesn’t decide to take a nap too.

13:50 - 14:30 | Keynote Speech by Niroshan Madampitige
Topic : From Vague Vision to Effective Execution: Transforming Organizations
with OKRs
Abstract:
In today’s fast-paced business landscape, organizations must bridge the gap between vision, strategy, and execution to achieve sustainable success. But how do you ensure alignment, accountability, and agility in an ever-evolving environment? How can you perfect your execution? Let me help you explore the power of OKRs (Objectives and Key Results) and the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) as complementary frameworks for driving organizational transformation.
By leveraging OKRs, companies can create clarity of purpose, track measurable progress, and foster a results-driven culture. EOS, on the other hand, provides a structured methodology to strengthen leadership, streamline operations, and instill discipline across teams. Together, these systems empower organizations to break down silos, enhance collaboration, and build high-performing teams that execute with precision.
Through real-world examples and actionable insights, this session will illustrate how leaders can implement OKRs and EOS to scale their businesses, enhance transparency, and cultivate a culture of continuous improvement. Whether you’re a startup, a scaling business, or an established enterprise, this keynote will equip you with the tools and strategies to transform vision into reality—one objective at a time.

Navigating Bias in AI-Driven Product Design - The Human-AI Tango
Abstract:
Imagine a dance floor where product designers choreograph experiences. Human designers bring their intuition, creativity, and lived experiences, while AI partners offer vast data, pattern recognition, and lightning-fast analysis. Yet, both dancers sometimes stumble, stepping on toes with unconscious biases that can disturb the elegance of the final product.
This workshop illuminates the steps of this complex dance, helping designers recognize missteps, learn new moves, and ultimately create more inclusive and enjoyable experiences for all.
Participants will first explore the fundamentals of product design and its lifecycle—before diving into the dual nature of biases:
- Human biases: Anchoring, representation, and other cognitive tendencies.
- AI-driven biases: Data, algorithmic patterns, and unintended consequences.
The hands-on segment leverages prompt engineering to engage participants in identifying AI biases at various design phases using a case study.
