Online Masterclass – The Kanban Method

7 October, 2021, 9:30 am - 4:30 pm

£295

In this increasingly volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous world many service delivery teams, managers and leaders are overwhelmed with

  • too much work in progress
  • too many dependencies, and
  • too many conflicting priorities.

We often feel that we are doing everything right, but the results are far from satisfactory. Even our investigations to unearth the why return the same old answers and can often boil down to finger pointing exercises. The scenarios described in the now famous “The Phoenix Project” are painfully familiar, so why not employ the thinking and practices used to deliver it’s rewarding outcome.

At this event we will not only discuss what Kanban is, how it compares to other management tools, and how it is practiced; we will also help you understand who you are, where you are within your organisations network of services, and what you can do there to improve your service performance and your organisations fitness for purpose.

Facilitated by Matt Turner, founder of Hapus.net, Lean Agile UK and accomplished coach, consultant and accredited Kanban University trainer with Solutioneers & Deloitte; this event is designed for anyone, from individual contributor to senior leader, wishing to understand how Kanban is used to catalyse and propel team, service and organisational improvement activity and as an alternative path to agility without the cost, risk and disappointment of the traditional “big bang” transformation programme.
