The presenter does manage to keep the topic interesting and give you new perspectives and ideas.
This is great or a big deal because this topic can be so easily dumbed-down!

David does a great job using his experiences to share what works and what doesn't work. If you're in a large organization and you're looking to improve your delivery of software, then this talk will be valuable.
I have been working in a similar space as David, not as an external coach, but as a senior project manager on large multi-million dollar development efforts. I have taken a similar journey as David, albeit from the customer side, and have come to the same conclusions. Much of the success of any project lies in the ability of people to work together, share ideas, and grow. These core principals are going to serve you well and allow you to dip into the agile toolbox and try new techniques, learn and improve. Again, David is right that these ideals can be spread and adopted across a large enterprise.
I highly recommend this presentation.
