## Description

In today's world, especially in the financial sector, tech and business teams often face the challenge of aligning their different perspectives and working styles. While tech teams are often driven by agility and new technologies, business departments must operate within highly regulated and legacy-heavy environments. This tension between innovation and regulatory requirements can lead to inefficient collaboration and stifled innovation.
In this talk, we will explore the key aspects of successful collaboration within development teams – from translating business requirements into technical solutions to handling internal conflicts and adapting to constantly changing regulatory mandates.
We will also examine the importance of knowledge sharing, flexible and agile collaboration models in the complex enterprise context, and the potential of AI to enhance efficiency in daily work.
Join us as we explore the exciting question of how to successfully drive the transformation from a hierarchical to an agile, team-oriented culture.
