AI-Native SAFe: The Operating Model for the Age of AI

Yes we are finally back and thank you to our hosts CapGemini for providing the London Venue also to Scaled Agile Inc for the refreshments.

We have a real treat!

Were you unable to make the SAFe Summit in San Diego? Well we have Andrew Sales, Chief Methodologist & SAFe Fellow at Scaled Agile Inc, who will give us a recap of his Key Note Speak from the Conference.

He will unveil the next evolution of SAFe—designed for an era where AI is transforming not just how software is built, but how organisations operate.

Despite unprecedented investment in AI, a recent 2026 global study found that only 9% of C-suite executives report realizing significant value from Generative AI. The challenge isn't the technology—it's the lack of an operating model that helps organisations govern AI, evolve how work gets done, and consistently turn AI capabilities into business value.

In this keynote summary, Andrew will introduce AI-Native SAFe and show how organisations can move beyond simply adding AI tools to existing ways of working. Discover why the bottleneck has shifted from building faster to validating value responsibly, and how Lean-Agile principles provide the foundation for scaling AI with confidence. Learn how AI-Native SAFe reimagines teams, ARTs, leadership, and governance to help organisations become faster, more adaptive, and fundamentally AI-native.

You'll leave with a practical Framework for leading AI transformation, governing AI responsibly, and maximising return on your AI investments
