Digital innovation is everywhere. Organizations see new opportunities and acceleration of digital business all around. We’re all using technology in innovative ways to address the grand challenges of today.

Still, we’re far from finished. Less than 20% of organizations are truly happy with the state of their innovation today. New technologies hold grand promises, but many ideas never make it to the stage where they deliver the promised value, for a multitude of reasons.

In order to learn from and inspire each other, we’re hosting a virtual panel discussion with three digital innovators to discuss the role and importance of digital innovation in their companies.

Each speaker will share their experiences in making innovation work in their organizations. We’ll talk about decision making, innovation politics and establishing the right culture and processes for innovation. We expect a fun online event with practical insights on digital innovation from three very different organizations.

Understanding the business goals of our customers and the needs of their users is an essential part of building the right, high-quality, software solutions.

But how do you ensure that the development teams understand the bigger picture (why do we need it) and know what to build to fulfill those needs?
How do you accomplish a common understanding between business and IT?
In what way do you engage the development teams to think together with business representatives?
How would you approach all these challenges while working remotely?

There are many techniques that can help in accomplishing this, realizing your business goals.

During this webinar, our experts Nina Stanic and Dragana Stanković will focus on one of those techniques – User Story Mapping in practice.
You will be taken through the whole process, from the preparation phase and follow-up actions to the implementation stage.

We are excited to have Raimo van der Klein – Chief Product & Technology Officer at Incision as our guest speaker, who is an expert in this field and has experienced USM workshops during the partnership with Levi9.

“Raimo has been board member, founder and CEO of Layar, a global leader in Augmented Reality and Interactive Print, helping to bridge the gap between print and digital worlds.
Raimo has been active in the startup domain since 2008 and has served as a mentor at Rockstart, an advisor to Startup Amsterdam and advisor to several startups. He has written many articles related to team dynamics in combination with autonomous teams like founder teams.”

These are new times with new challenges for all of us. And while many businesses struggle to stay in business, others are reinventing themselves to keep delivering services to their customers. For many of us, business continuity has been a theoretical exercise: creating plans for unlikely events. This time, it is for real.

Working from home is not new for Levi9, we had both the technology and the mentality in place. Still, we faced additional challenges when ensuring that 1100 people across Europe could work from home, both securely and effectively. Being an Agile company at heart, we have overcome these challenges quickly and without impact on delivering to our customers worldwide.

When faced with the requirements of social distancing, and as consequence having to work from home, we are all quickly picking up on this new way of working. Digital lunches with the team and Friday drinks, working with your child on your lap and with your cat on your keyboard is not something we were accustomed to on a daily basis before.

At the same time, when faced with fears for our loved ones, we are ready to compromise on what we took for granted before, like socializing with our friends and colleagues. However, there are some things we cannot compromise on, even under these circumstances. Digital security is certainly one of those things, and now it is even more important than ever.

We feel that in these times, it is important that we share and learn from each other. What troubles did you come along and what creative solutions did you come up with? Do you still have questions and concerns and would you like to know how other digital and software companies moved to the new normal? What do you think is waiting on the horizon and how do you expect you will be organized -say- half a year from now?

We want to share our experiences with you and give you the opportunity to share your creative solutions, concerns and questions with us and with other Levi9 customers. We would like to invite you for an Online Round Table session to share with you our story on how we did it and to invite you for a discussion about this topic.

In the market of tailor-made software solutions for business technology, innovation will be focused on increasing the PACE OF DELIVERY. After all, pace influences time to market and indirectly costs.

The industry is delivering new technologies that facilitate this pace of delivery. Cloud services are the biggest accelerators. Developing high quality business technology will become more and more a skill of smart orchestration and integration of services and unique software.

Serverless eliminates the need to provision and manage infrastructure components (e.g., servers, databases, queues, and even containers), allowing teams to focus on code while minimizing their operational overhead.

Please join us for a session where Levi9’s Thought Leader Dragan Gajic will discuss the outcome of the Tech Survey 2020, together with Amer Grgic, CTO of Tevreden.nl and founder of Livebytes and Sander Kieft, Senior Director Architecture & DevOps of PVH (home of Tommy Hilfiger, Calvin Klein).

Please block 26 May & register fast (limited seats available)

With over 15 years of experience in software development and Scrum processes since 2007 in various setups, Levi9 has accumulated vast hands-on experience in the agile way of working in a variety of software development environments.

In our upcoming “DevOps and Agile Transformation” event we will share our best practices in delivering software solutions.

Our focus is on delivering software on the revenue generating side of IT (business IT) in close cooperation and high interaction with our customers. This is where repeatable quality and short time to market, from the business idea to software on production, make the difference.

In this event, we will provide insight into various aspects of how to build and refine a software development organisation that provides reliable and measurable output sprint by sprint.
