Mastering Flow Fundamentals


What problems do you need to address? The shorthand for the most pressing problems in business is agile transformation or digital transformation. But these two terms cover a multitude of activities that are increasingly being referred to as business agility.

In this one day workshop we will introduce you to the basic concepts of value-based agility and provide you with the framework you need to introduce and implement it in your own organisation.

We call that framework Flow and it integrates upstream value analysis, continuous value improvement and downstream value delivery and feedback. Flow’s value-based agility is the missing ingredient you need in order to make agile transformation real.

What previous attendees say

"In this Agile space, certain concepts and values are just inherently in us, then someone comes along and articulates them in crystal clear unambiguous language, and the words just explode off the page."

Christopher Hurney Organisational Agility Consultant

Benefits

1. Prepare yourself for real agility and for delivering value at pace

2. Increase revenues by ensuring only work of value enters the innovation pipeline

3. Understand how to move to a new flexible operating model

4. Master how to create high performance Flow and DevOps 2.0 teams

5. Overcome the IT-business divide

This course will help modern enterprises to consider the dynamism of global markets, which means we now need to think about innovation as:

  • Microscale - often operating at the micro-scale even for large enterprises (smaller market segments small windows of opportunity, micro-consumption of digital assets, e.g. Cloud services; small units of work)
  • Ecosystem based - dependent on third parties for many aspects of innovation within market segments
  • Holistic or diverse - drawing on a wider range of skills and creating a much broader scope of services than has been normal
  • Rules-light or characterised by effective hierarchies - interaction where hierarchies are less rules bound and more social so that enterprises do not lose time and value in multiple handovers or rigid compliance processes

The idea of business agile is not truly configured to address these market issues. We favour the term value-based business agile.

Non-member rate includes 12 months free membership. We will be in touch with registration details after your place is confirmed.
