Denver, CO,— Scrum Alliance® — the largest, best established, and most influential professional membership organization and certifying body in the Agile community — is excited to be the lead sponsor at the 9th Global Peter Drucker Forum in Vienna, Austria, this year.
"We need new management models to address the challenges of our time — which is why we place special value on the strategic partnership between the Drucker Forum and Scrum Alliance," said Richard Straub, founder and president of the Global Peter Drucker Forum. "Creating growth and prosperity in an age of rising uncertainty and complexity urgently requires fresh management thinking, with flexibility, responsiveness, and short communication cycles to the fore. Scrum has an important contribution to make to move the world of work in a new and better direction."
The Drucker Forum 2017, which will take place on November 16 and 17 in Vienna, will bring together an impressive group of speakers, including Steve Blank, Rita McGrath, Hal Gregersen, Roger Martin, Pankaj Ghemawat, and Tammy Erickson to discuss the topic of "Growth and Inclusive Prosperity." It will be opened by Lisa Hershman, interim CEO of Scrum Alliance. The conference will be held in English and will be streamed live.
The annual conference is a globally recognized forum for the advancement of management thinking and practice, conducted in the spirit of the late Peter F. Drucker, widely considered "the father of modern management." This year, presentations will focus on the contribution of management to economic prosperity and human well-being.

Our organization's mission is to 'Transform the World of Work,' and there will be many discussions about how to do that at this year's conference.
