When their transformation extends beyond the digital business to the journalistic, entertainment, and creative production sides of the house they realise it’s up to YLE to create agile benchmarks in these areas …

We have travelled a long way, and we’re still at the beginning of our transformation story.

Holding Space for Change

In Our Closing Keynote, Deborah Preuss asks: “What happens when you take the excitement of learning at ALE back to your workplace?”
The new practices you’ve learned can help, but the real magic lies in making room for new ways to take root – facilitators call it “holding space.”

In addition we've cultivated a few more 'seed sessions' to trickle through the open spaces in the program.  We're limiting the number of seed sessions to be sure we provide abundant space for everything that emerges
