Have you ever heard of cybernetics?
If not in some old book, then where?
On July 28, I’ll be speaking at the Regional Scrum Gathering in Singapore, exploring a surprising idea: what if Scrum’s “timelessness” has roots in something much older?
Cybernetics studies how systems learn, adapt, and self-regulate through feedback. Sounds familiar?
In this interactive session, we will connect a few unexpected dots—from Palo Alto in the 1950s to today’s world of AI—and I invite you to look at Scrum from a different angle.
Why does it still hold up? And could AI actually make it stronger?
Come to the Regional Scrum Gathering® Singapore on 27 and 28 July, and let's explore together!

Francis will be speaking at the upcoming Regional Scrum Gathering® Singapore, where one of the year themes is When East Reads West.
Ever since The New New Product Development Game (HBR 1986), and even if this happened in the USA, everyone who has been looking closely has been aware of the rich Asian knowledge and wisdom traditions that seem to sustain many of the underlying ideas and practices in matters Agile.
In this talk, Francis intends to reassess the narrative, and unearth a treasury of now largely forgotten Asian sources to what, by the turn of our century, would become “Scrum” as a collective knowledge product development framework, and later, in general, “The Agile Movement”.
With Rudyard Kipling’s infamous “the twain shall never meet” (1899) as a guiding principle, we will, enthrallingly, discover how, on the contrary, “the twain have been meeting” all the time, pressingly, enamoured, and in cheerful embrace.
From there, we ask ourselves how well (or not?) Asia is equipped today to help preserve the legacy of what Agile stands for, and use this as currency to help build a future for a collaborative maker industry in the world of tomorrow.
In conclusion, Iwe will make a case for “Agile” as an Asian approach to work, where East and West keep meeting in many different (and often quite unexpected) ways.
