“Visual Management is the application of Lean and Agile practices to build new ways of working for individuals and teams on-the-fly” (Modus Institute).
In this highly interactive workshop, we will concentrate on…
-
- How we as professionals are doing the right work?
- How do we come to alignment?
- How do we make decisions?
- Do we understand the work to be done?
- When is it to be delivered?
- How complex is the work?
- Where might the work stumble?
- Can we see what is important?
We take a system thinking approach to the complexities of new/unexplored work, (mis)understanding, decision-less meetings, interruptions, prioritization, communicating decisions and difficulty of collaboration. We will introduce the system of communications, system of meetings and the system of doing the right work at the right time.
We will conduct practical exercises that focus on visualizing our work in progress. We will look at value stream mapping as an effective visualization and put those visualizations into action. Ultimately, we will turn learning into action items.
