Abstract

30 years. That is how long Materialise has been an innovative company in an industry with the potential to disrupt a big part of the make industry. As we grew into a leading global additive manufacturing software provider, we also moved from an unconsciously agile organization into an organization where managing strategy and alignment across different teams, units and regions turned out to be a challenge. As the organization reached new highs, things like functional silos and hierarchy found their way in. While certainly providing some benefits, they also made us lose part of our ability to quickly respond to market challenges.

Today, both start-ups and existing players in the market are forcing us to rethink our ways of working. Putting lean agile principles and practices again full front and center, to stay ahead of the competition.

In this session, we shared some of the highlights and achievements on our journey towards business agility so far, as well as some of the challenges we see for the immediate future.
