    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.
