About the Guest

Mik Kersten

Author of Project to Product & CEO of Tasktop
Mik Kersten is the CEO of Tasktop and the author of the book Project to Product: How to Survive and Thrive in the Age of Digital Disruption with the Flow Framework, which focuses on how companies that master large-scale software delivery will define the economic landscape of the 21st century in the same way that masters of mass production defined it in the 20th century. Because business and technology leaders are ill-equipped to solve the problems posed by digital transformation, he cites that at this rate of disruption, half of S&P 500 companies will be replaced in the next ten years and suggests a new approach.
