Seeking Nirvana: Achieving Predictability in a Complex World

​​
As Simon Wardley says: "predictability is a measure of how accurately we can anticipate something"


In life and in business, human beings struggle to deal with uncertainty.


When you ask people why they engage in agile transformations, change programmes, digital initiatives, scaling projects, and things like that, they will often say that they want things like faster delivery times, cheaper development, better products, higher quality or, just, more benefits.


The truth is that what they often really want is to be able to trust the work and for it to be predictable.


Faster, cheaper, better, higher, richer are all important, but predictability is the building block that enables the others.


Inspired by the ground-breaking work by Daniel Vacanti, this hands-on session will discover and explore the different steps that allow us to build a predictable system in complex and uncertain environments.


Since Jose Casal introduced this workshop to Actineo's Kanban training courses and workshops, participants consistently highlight it as the outstanding jaw-dropping takeaway from the class.


So, health warning, if you have a fragile facial bone structure, please DO NOT attend the workshop. Otherwise, don't miss out on this session.

A Nirvana of predictability awaits you.


WORKSHOP:
Flight Levels in Action

​​In Collaboration with JP Bayley


Agile is cool, agile is trendy! Scrum, Kanban, SAFe, MorE or LeSS… Teams are trained so that the company finally becomes agile in the market. However, most of the time NOTHING positive happens! How is that even possible?
In this workshop we will explore the question: What does it take for an organization to achieve real Business Agility?

Based on Klaus Leopold's bestseller Rethinking Agile and the concept of Flight Levels, this hands-on workshop will introduce you to some of the core Flight Levels elements and practices. Find out what you need to do so that your company does not sink money into agile frameworks and, instead, achieves real business agility in a very lean way.

During the workshop we will explore and practice core topics such as: 
Experiencing Team agility vs. Business agility
Exploring Flight Levels architectures
Mapping organisational dependencies
Visualising organisational Flow Efficiency
Creating Actionable OKRs
Designing organisational flow with Flight Routes
