About us
SIA · GLOBAL — Scaling Intelligent Agility
"Agility was the foundation. Intelligence is the multiplier."
2,200+ Global Members · 12+ Years of Expertise · 5 AI & Agility Pillars · Global Enterprise Reach
OUR VISION
SIA Global is the premier community for enterprise leaders, practitioners, and innovators who are scaling agility and intelligence across their organizations. We are where Agile Intelligence meets enterprise transformation — bringing together the people who are not just adapting to the AI era, but defining it.
Our vision is that Intelligent Agility is the new enterprise operating system — a comprehensive, right-fit integration of:
• Lean, Scrum, Kanban, and proven Agile methodologies
• AI Enablement, Governance, Maturity, and Literacy
• Scaling Frameworks — SAFe, LeSS, Disciplined Agile
• Complexity Science, Design Thinking, and Systems Innovation
• BizDevOps — DevOps, TestOps, SecOps, and Continuous Delivery
• Product & Technology Leadership at enterprise scale
• Responsible AI — ethics, governance, and human-centered adoption
We believe AI is not artificial in this community. It is Agile — adaptive, iterative, human-serving intelligence built by practitioners, for practitioners.
THE VALUE WE DELIVER
Since 2014, SIA Global has been the trusted home for enterprise agile transformation. We provide direct access to world-class practitioners and thought leaders who bring real-world experience — not theoretical frameworks — to every session.
Our learning series spans two tracks built for the complexity of modern enterprise:
• Business Track — AI strategy, governance, product leadership, org design, and executive decision-making
• Technical Track — AI enablement, DevOps at scale, platform engineering, and intelligent systems architecture
Every session, workshop, and roundtable is designed to give you one thing: knowledge you can take back to your organization and apply on Monday morning.
OUR 5 AI & AGILITY PILLARS
• AI Enablement
• AI Governance
• AI Maturity
• AI Education & Literacy
• Intelligent Agility at Scale
WHO WE ARE
SIA Global is a self-organizing, practitioner-led community. We grow because our members deliver value to each other, not because of a speaker on a stage. Every voice in this community has earned its place through experience, curiosity, and a commitment to building better enterprises.
This community is built for:
• CIOs & CTOs · CDOs & AI Leaders · Engineering Leaders
• Agile Coaches · Scrum Masters · Product Leaders
• DevOps Engineers · Next-Gen Agilists · Org Designers
JOIN THE MOVEMENT
If you are an enterprise leader who believes that people, agility, and intelligent systems are the engines of organizational excellence — this is your community. Scaling Intelligent Agility is not a trend we are chasing. It is the operating reality we are building — together.
"Scale the intelligence. Lead the enterprise."

No silver bullet to AI: On (Modern?) Software Development
·OnlineOnlineAlex outlines what his 20+ years in the software development business, the most recent in the era of AI, have identified as relevant for a productive and thriving survival.
The talk covers:
- Characteristics of software development (aka "the complex environment")
- What is experience and how do you gain it, especially in this era? (aka "the Dreyfus learning model")
- Cognitive biases that challenge us in the software development process
- The gist of software development: "Precision, guess work, unreliable data and questionable knowledge"
- Observations on humans who code and Hype Driven Development (including the current hype of AI)
- (Almost) Eternal & current challenges of software development
- Technology & tools
So, have you ever been wondering why we, as a whole community of experts, so often struggle to tame the beast called software development? Alex will present some possible answers to the question why our ongoing fight is - and will very likely remain - a tough one.
Spoiler: Most of the time it is not about what your stakeholders, or you as someone who is directly involved, think it is…
Takeaway:
"Software development is way more than 'simply writing code' (however it may be produced). It is an inherently complex, creative and collaborative endeavor in which humans remain the central focal point."Speaker - Alex Thurow:
Alex helps software development teams transform their workplaces into environments where creativity and imagination can flourish.
Alex, currently a freelance consultant and speaker specialized in software development culture, is based out of Überlingen, Germany. (https://onmoderndev.de/en)
Over the past 22 years, Alex has worked both at multiple German software providers and as an independent consultant.28 attendees
