AARON DIGNAN

Keynote Speaker

Book Aaron Dignan

“Aaron Dignan is a magnetic, compelling speaker and a revolutionary thinker. Utterly captivating.”  
–Behance/Adobe/99U.

Aaron Dignan sees the same phenomenon everywhere he looks. Our most trusted and important institutions—in business, healthcare, government, philanthropy, and beyond – are struggling. They’re confronted with the fact that the scale and bureaucracy that once made them strong are liabilities in an era of constant change. For the past ten years, he has studied organizations and teams with a new way of working that prioritizes adaptivity and autonomy over efficiency and control. Aaron contends that teams everywhere need to join them in the future of work.

As the founder of The Ready—a global organizational transformation and coaching practice—he helps companies large and small adopt new forms of self-organization and dynamic teaming. Clients include GE, Kaplan, Lloyds Banking Group, Microsoft, Citibank, FreshDirect, Hyatt, Airbnb, Bloomin’ Brands, Charles Schwab, PG&E, Fidelity, New York Public Radio, and charity: water.

Dignan is an active angel investor and helps build partnerships between the startups and end-ups he advises. He has sat on advisory boards for GE, American Express, PepsiCo, and Cooper Hewitt National Design Museum, as well as the board of directors for Smashburger.

“A meeting is not just a meeting, it is a forum for members, an opportunity to share information, to seek consent; if not, it is a waste of time.”
Aaron Dignan

THIS IS THE MANAGEMENT BOOK OF THE YEAR. CLEAR, POWERFUL AND URGENT, IT’S A MUST READ FOR ANYONE WHO CARES ABOUT WHERE THEY WORK AND HOW THEY WORK.”

— SETH GODIN, AUTHOR OF THIS IS MARKETING

The first part shows how our way of working came to be—originating on the factory floors of the Industrial Revolution. And it lays the foundation for a new way of thinking about people and organizations that trades the illusion of control for something far better.

The second part explores the principles and practices of Evolutionary Organizations through a tour of the OS Canvas, a transformative tool created to help teams see just how embedded and interconnected their way of working really is.

The third part tackles the most difficult topic of all: how to change. If you’ve been burned by change efforts that have overpromised and under-delivered, you’re not alone. Here you’ll find a counterintuitive yet straightforward approach to change that honors the inherent complexity in your organization.
