Abstract: Agile methods and open-source practices promise adaptability and speed, yet their application in large corporate environments often reveals deep structural, cultural, and organizational tensions. This talk provides a pragmatic, experience-based perspective on why “agile” frequently struggles in enterprise contexts—and why it is not dead, but often misapplied. Drawing on real-world examples from global automotive and manufacturing programs at Bosch, the talk explores challenges such as governance, architecture, stakeholder management, performance metrics, and cultural constraints. Rather than promoting dogma, the session emphasizes reflection, trade-offs, and practical patterns for making agile methods work under real industrial constraints.
Speaker: Oliver H. Rudolph is a technology and transformation leader at Robert Bosch GmbH with more than 14 years of experience spanning manufacturing operations, software engineering, data architecture, and digital transformation. He currently leads global programs on semantic data integration, knowledge graphs, and data governance across Bosch’s Mobility Electronics division. Trained as a physicist, he combines strong analytical foundations with practical experience in building scalable, software-driven systems in complex industrial environments. His work focuses on applying semantic technologies, open standards, and AI to enable interoperable, data-driven decision-making in manufacturing and product development. He is also an active contributor to applied research and industry conferences.
