ICR Agile
February 25, 2021
ICR Agile is a one day event to bring together members of the agile community and those interested in embracing the agile mindset to learn and network with peers.
Agile is a way of thinking about how we work. It enables people to solve complex and adaptive problems by collaborating. Agile addresses the types of problems many organizations struggle to solve today. It is used by leading companies nationally and locally as a way to move their businesses forward.
This conference is a collaboration between NewBoCo and members of Eastern Iowa Agile.

2021 Keynote

Esther Derby
Esther Derby Associates, Inc.
Esther draws on four decades of experience leading, observing, and living organizational change. She works with a broad array of organizations. Her clients include both startups and Fortune 500 companies. Based on experience and research, her approach blends attention to humans and deep knowledge of complex adaptive systems. Esther has been called one of the most influential voices within the agile communities when it comes to developing organizations, coaching teams, and transforming management. Her work over many years has influenced coaches and leaders across many companies. Esther started her career as a programmer. However, over the years she’s worn many hats, including business owner, internal consultant, manager, and team leader. From all these perspectives, one thing was clear: individual, team, and even organizational success depends greatly on the work environment and organizational dynamics. As a result, she’s spent the last twenty-five years helping companies shape their environment for optimum success. Her formal education includes an MA in Organizational Leadership and a certificate in Human Systems Dynamics.
