In this keynote, Karin Tenelius and Lisa Gill reveal why real transformation doesn't happen through re-orgs — it happens by shifting how leaders show up, connect, and activate ownership in others. Learn how coaching-based leadership creates the invisible systems of trust, autonomy, and accountability that no org chart can deliver — and why it’s the only path to lasting, adaptive leadership in a changing world.

In this keynote, Dunia Reverter shares the real story behind Indaero — an aerospace component manufacturer transformed into a self-managing, thriving organization under the Krisos Fund's bold new model and drove business success in one of the most demanding industries on Earth.

In this keynote, Morten and Erik will share the story of a 2½-year experiment inside Roche: creating a 60-person science unit with radically new ways of working. Instead of hierarchy, they built a self-managing team designed to speed up innovation in RNA-based medicines. Along the way, they discovered what really drives collaboration, creativity, and performance — and what obstacles can derail even the boldest transformation. Expect honest lessons, practical takeaways, and inspiration for leaders who want to make their organizations more innovative, adaptive, and human.

Radical? Yes. Reckless? No. In this high-impact case, see how ABN AMRO replaced 278 managers with 350 self-led teams—without losing control. Through deliberate design of decision rights, team structure, and accountability systems, they achieved higher engagement, faster execution, and lower costs. You’ll leave with a grounded understanding of how to scale autonomy without chaos.

Vertia has operated in the construction industry for 15 years, the last eight as a fully self-managing organization. During a recent market crash, many of the assumptions behind self-management were suddenly put under pressure. In this talk, Topi shares what happened when theory met reality. Which parts of self-management continued to work under stress, and which didn’t. The crisis became a stress test that revealed what is essential for self-management to function in a demanding, real-world environment like construction. The talk explores lessons from the field about responsibility, decision-making, feedback from reality, and why some ideas from traditional leadership still matter even in self-managing organizations.

Most leaders still rely on control to protect performance. But what if control is the bottleneck? This panel exposes what actually happens when organisations reduce approvals and increase ownership - what improves, what breaks, and why some companies scale faster while others fall apart.

Antonio Boadas shares how Haier and GE Appliances learned to identify and dismantle outdated assumptions embedded in their management DNA. This session is designed to challenge mental models, spark uncomfortable questions, and make space for structures that match today’s complexity.

This keynote is an invitation to re-examine what it truly means a more self-managing, purpose-driven way of working — and, more importantly, what it means to be deeply human in leadership. It challenges the hidden patterns that quietly limit how fully we show up as leaders. Through the paradoxes at the heart of human-centric leadership, the speaker shares her personal journey and rare inside insights from Bayer’s bold transformation toward Dynamic Shared Ownership (DSO) — a model that distributes decision-making and ownership at scale. If you want to explore what the next era of leadership looks like — and learn from a large-scale transformation in motion — this is a session you won’t want to miss.

AI can analyse, optimise and recommend decisions at scale. Entire roles are already shifting. This panel confronts the uncomfortable question most leaders avoid: when AI does the work, what is your real value? We’ll explore accountability, power, and what must change in how organisations are designed — now, not in five years.

In this keynote, Jochen Goeser shares how companies from Bosch to Bold2Move are redesigning leadership, structures, and business models to align purpose with performance — and why traditional hierarchies can’t compete with decentralized, self-managing organizations in driving real resilience, innovation, and growth.
