Value Stream Mapping: Knowing When & Where Value is Created & Delivered

Available as a .5 - 1 hour conference presentation, as a 4 hour seminar/webinar, or full day workshop.

- Learn the process of creating Value Stream Maps, from basic concepts through the planning and execution steps.
- Understand exactly when, where, and how that value is created or delivered.

So you can:
- Get the most of your IT initiatives (such as DevOps) by optimizing your flows to reduce waste and improve both effectiveness and efficiency
- Optimize the alignment of resources with the flow of value for the reduction or elimination of disruptions or leakage in the value cycle

Focused Improvement - Innovation on Demand

This design thinking workshop prepares participants to immediately begin using a focused approach to addressing existing issues or making valuable improvements. The model and approach are lightweight enough to use to for team retrospectives, and powerful enough to be used for product or service development.

Focused Improvement is a powerful, purposeful, and predictable approach to innovation based on the classic Stanford flair and focus model with supporting materials and reinforcing activities to ensure participants understand and can apply the lessons in their own domain.

Delivering on Digital Transformation

Tailored to the audience, this presentation addresses Lean, Agile, and DevOps as key components of a digital transformation; but when implemented independently will not attain the desired goal of being an industry disrupter or thriving in a disrupted industry.

For senior leaders it connects the dots, painting a complete picture for business cases with sustainable results founded on strategic organizational structure and cultural underpinnings that will drive success through a dual obsession on customers and employees.

For mid-level leaders and technologists it addresses the framework necessary to focus on tactical technology approaches and operational implications to avoid common pitfalls and people-driven driven challenges.

Agile Thinking & Practices - It's not really about technology

Software developers no longer own the Agile space, in fact its even more useful outside the technology domain. Use Agile practices and thinking to improve the way you accomplish any and all work.

Deterministic Process Design

Deterministic Process Design is a new approach to process development that directly supports DevOps, designing processes that are ready for automation, evolutionary, and scalable from small teams to large enterprises. Participants learn the fundamentals of designing processes and gain full access to tools for immediate application.
