Agile at Tesla and SpaceX with Joe Justice

Learn what Agile and Digital Transformation is really about, based on Joe Justice’s experience from Tesla and SpaceX.

After a well-received and sold out workshop in Oct 2023, we are offering this unique course with Joe Justice again on April 24th 2024. Watch this video from our October event.

Agile hardware development improves business growth, product innovation, and speed of response to change. For example, a traditional automotive company takes 2.5 years for a minor change and 5 to 7 years for a significant change. In an agile automotive company, headlights, taillights, and charging ports are changed in two days. These changes are made more than 20 times a week and are all installed in the vehicle.

How is this possible?

Agile development reduces bottlenecks to a company’s design and manufacturing speed, such as approvals, budgets, and responses to change.

Joe shares the following story: ‘Many business people say that software has caused so many innovations that “software eats  the world. But it is not software that is eating the world. Software companies are only a small fraction of the first companies to become agile and achieve rapid release. It is Agile that is eating the world.”

Testimonials:

• "Joe Justice's Agile workshop was a revelation for me as a Danish business professional. It went beyond theoretical knowledge, offering a pragmatic look into the practices of pioneering companies. The workshop format was interactive, allowing us to delve deep into our questions. Additionally, the excellent lunch and the inviting atmosphere of the room facilitated networking and created a comfortable environment for learning. This workshop is a must-attend for anyone serious about implementing Agile at the highest level." -- Torben Madsen, Partcipant at Joedx event with AgileUplift in Oct 2023, Managing Director, Compass Academy

• "I was able to spend a day of thoughtful and engaged interaction with Joe Justice learning from Joe's experiences working at Tesla and SpaceX. The small-group setting provided a lot of opportunities to talk in detail, ask probing questions, try out some new techniques hands-on, and learn a bit about how these companies do things *very* differently.  The day provided a lot to think over. We all had the chance to learn from Joe's years of agile experience combined with his structured and condensed observations about how Tesla and SpaceX achieve disruptive levels of continuous innovation in live hardware production streams right from the factory floor. The day wasn't just about agile, this was agile on steroids. It was a lot to take in and the source of new ideas I look forward to making use of soon! Thanks to Taghi Paksima and AgileUplift GmbH for organizing this highly interactive event " -- Corey Alguire, General Manager & Head of Product, Zeiss Group
