Agile principles aren't just for developers, they're transforming MSP service delivery. Mike Burroughs, five-time author and organizational change expert, joins Wim to explore how MSPs can move beyond overwhelming ticket queues to create adaptive, human-centered operations.

Drawing from his Executive Director role at UBS and UK government digital transformation experience, Mike reveals why teams struggle with overburden and overcommitment. Learn to shift from task pushing to value delivery, start with outcomes not solutions, and build trust through meaningful conversations.
