Case Study - LeSS Adoption at BASE Company

Description

This talk shares the LeSS adoption journey at BASE Company, a Belgian telecom operator, moving from traditional, siloed IT and long delivery cycles to a product-focused, adaptive organization.

Starting with a small experiment, the team achieved strong results and scaled the change across the entire IT organization—removing project management layers, shifting to product thinking, and navigating real-world challenges like outsourcing contracts and an acquisition by Telenet.

The result: less escalation, more transparency, and a significant increase in the organization’s ability to adapt to change.

In this video, you’ll learn:

  • Why starting small (“deep and narrow”) accelerates transformation
  • How to move from projects to product-focused teams
  • What happens when you remove middle management and PMOs
  • How to handle large-scale change in complex environments
  • Why adaptability is the ultimate competitive advantage
