Make your company epic: using agile to transform your strategy Given the increased velocity and speed of change, innovative organizations are using a different way to make decisions and respond to their customers; this approach is called agile strategy. This conference will focus on how your organizations can employ a new agile model to constantly adapt and win. ​ About Nectario Economakis Nectarios was the first employee in business development at Google Montreal, helping to generate a year-over-year average growth of 50% since 2011.
