To celebrate the one year anniversary of EDGY we invite you to a virtual gathering to reminisce. We encourage you to bring a glass of wine, beer, some snacks, Ice-cream, or other celebratory tradition of choice, and join us for a fun pact hour of EDGY.
In this session we will meet with Milan and Wolfgang, the two presidents of The Intersection group, and Jean-Sebastian and Eric, two of the primary practitioners of EDGY. Together we will go over the year and recount what they consider being the primary milestones in the first year since EDGY was released on March 29, 2023. Who knows, we might even take a short glimpse into what we can expect from year two.
You do not want to miss this fun pact session, so we look forward to seeing you all. And if you have some burning questions that you would like the guys to answer, then please bring that to the sessions moderator, Helgi M. Björgvinsson, by reaching out on Slack, or sending an e-mail to helgi@intersection.group.
Milan is president of Intersection Group and a co-founder of Enterprise Design Associates. 12 years back, Milan launched a social software startup and designed a patented innovation for commercial flight decks. Today he works with enterprises of all shapes and sizes, to make them deliver and useful to people. He's been working with enterprises like Google, SAP, Toyota, ThoughtWorks, OECD and the UN. His first book Intersection introduces this Enterprise Design approach, and he is co-organising the Intersection conference series since 2014. He is co-author of the book Enterprise Design Patterns and key contributor to EDGY, an Open Source tool for co-creating better enterprises, adopted by organisations around the globe.
Wolfgang Goebl is the founder and President of the Intersection Group and an Enterprise Design Coach and IT Enterprise Architect at Austrian Power Grid. He is one of the authors of the book “Enterprise Design Patterns” and the EDGY language for collaborative Enterprise Design (www.enterprise.design).
Jean-Sébastien's path from a graphic designer to UX designer to enterprise designer is filled with diverse and enriching experiences. With his skills in workshop facilitation, he helped his client to better understand the situation and choose a path forward. Since 2019, he has been an integral part of the Intersection Group, where he leads the development of workshops for the organization. Jean-Sébastien frequently shares his insights on the essential qualities of a designer in various conferences and mentoring sessions. His expertise in enterprise design and commitment to many design communities are evident in his role as a partner at &friends, a consulting firm in Canada.
Eric, with his rich background, has been professionally exploring the digital and innovation strategy landscapes for the past 20 years. Highly skilled at facilitating workshops since 2012, his conviction that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts resonates strongly with his expertise in enterprise design. He works with public or private sectors, from startups to multinationals. While Eric is also passionate about strategic foresight studies, he saves that topic for an expanded version of EDGY. Eric is based in Canada but works worldwide, online or in person.
Helgi has worked with the Intersection group for around 4 years and has been a part of the Intersection core group for around 1 year.
