Welcome to the eighteenth episode of Season 2 of Futurise.

Season 2 will focus in on AgenticAI, speaking to founders, funders and early adopters of the technology to share their insight and lessons learned.

In this episode, Rob is joined by⁠⁠ ⁠Matthew Skelton, CEO and CTO of Conflux, and author of bestselling business book Team Topologies. Matthew and Rob talk about the background of the original book in 2019, what drove the evolution for the recent 2nd edition out in September 2025, together with a preview of the next edition in a few years time. Their focus is discussing the impact of an Agentic world on team design, and whether the lessons remain relevant or will evolve further.

Matthew Skelton is one of the foremost leaders in modern organizational dynamics for fast flow, drawing on Team Topologies, Adapt Together™, and related practices to support organizations with transformation towards a sustainable fast flow of value and true business agility.

Co-author of the award-winning and ground-breaking book Team Topologies, Founder and CEO/CTO at Conflux, and director of core operations at the non-profit Team Topologies, Matthew brings a humane approach to organizational effectiveness.
