Community-driven and authentic: Our speakers have been recommended by the community. It's not us on stage, but the best speakers—customers and competitors alike. Together, they share their successes and failures with SAFe® and SAFe® extensions.
Short presentations, intensive exchange: Our presentations are deliberately kept short to allow plenty of time for personal exchange between sessions.
Hands-on workshops: The workshops are practice-oriented and offer you the opportunity to try out what you have learned right away.
Personal atmosphere: The number of participants is limited so that we can create an inspiring and personal event experience.
We at KEGON Schweiz – Better Results have set ourselves the goal of promoting agile thinking and best practices in business through a high-quality and inspiring event.
You can expect:
-
Bilingual, interactive workshops and discussion panels on business agility.
-
Exciting presentations that provide brief input and create space for exchange.
-
Hands-on sessions where you can get straight down to business.
-
Numerous opportunities to network and exchange experiences.

About the Forum
Better Investments
The sessions on “Better Investments” offer a professional exchange on how organizations can align investment decisions more closely with value creation and strategic effectiveness. The focus is on experiences and perspectives from the community on participatory budgeting, lean budgeting, and the connection between strategic alignment and flow metrics. Together, we discuss how portfolios can be effectively balanced and how the focus can be shifted from project financing to sustainable results.
Better Products
The sessions on “Better Products” offer a professional exchange on how organizations can anchor product thinking more firmly and consistently align product development with benefits and impact. The focus is on perspectives from the community on customer centricity, outcome-oriented decisions, iterative validation, and embedding design thinking as an attitude in product development. Together, we discuss how product responsibility can be established across hierarchical and organizational boundaries, how feature-driven approaches can be transformed back into holistic products, and how existing framework approaches can be effectively put into practice.
Measuring the Business Benefits
The sessions on “Measuring the Business Benefits” focus on how organizations can make the actual benefits of agile transformations visible and controllable. The focus is on perspectives from the community on measuring business outcomes such as time-to-market, customer satisfaction, employee retention, innovation capability, and strategic impact. Together, we discuss how benefits can be made tangible through appropriate metrics and dialogue formats, how organizations can avoid KPI fetishism, and how leadership can measure impact without falling back on classic control mechanisms.

The SAFe® Leadership Forum was launched in 2023 by KEGON Schweiz – Better Results to strengthen agile thinking and tried-and-tested methods in a business context in the long term.
What began as an ambitious initiative has quickly developed into a high-quality meeting place for executives, decision-makers, and transformation experts. The great response and consistently positive feedback encourage us to continuously develop the forum further—with relevant ideas, first-class speakers, and space for honest exchange on an equal footing.
