We do not learn from experience, we learn from reflecting on experience.

The Challenge / Opportunity

• “Crap at the speed of light”– Email– Text– Facebook– LinkedIn– Twitter

• TV news cycle – 24/7 doom and destruction!

• Tyranny of the urgent

• Meetings, One-on-One’s, Drop Ins

Practicing Mindfulness

When the mind wanders…

1) Become aware of your current focus

2) Focus on the task at hand

3) Observe what is happening (is my focus drifting, am I daydreaming, am I worrying, am I planning, am I present?)

4) Gently refocus on the target

5) Each time you do, you strengthen your“awareness muscles”


”Essentially, all models are wrong, but some are useful."

- George E. P. Box

Lean IT

• 3 essential components to IMPROVE FLOW:

– Engaging People

– Improving Processes• Eliminating Waste: Non-value Added Work, Variation & Overburden

• Applying Methodical Problem Solving

– Leveraging Technology


Lean IT – 10 Dots

1) Understand customer-defined value to know quality and waste

2) Front-load the development process to explore options early

3) Create a level process flow

4) Use standardization to reduce variation and drive predictable outcomes

5) Balance functional expertise and cross-functional knowledge


Lean IT – 10 Dots

6) Fully integrate suppliers into the development system

7) Fully integrate customers into the development system

8) Build learning and continuous improvement into the process

9) Align people through simple visual communications

10) Adapt technologies to fit your people and process

Agile/Scrum – 10 Dots

1) Run the business and IT as one team (value streams)2) Self-organizing autonomous teams (respect for people)3) Breakdown the work iteratively for rapid feedback and course

correction (check/adjust)4) Break the work into smaller pieces (one-piece flow)5) Test code as part of development process (quality at the

source)


Agile/Scrum – 10 Dots

6) Drive healthy team behaviors by establishing a cadence (respect for people)

7) Make the work visual (visual management and standard work)8) Learn through reflection (continuous learning)9) Apply kanban (pull)10) Keep the team in tact (shared learning and trust)

DevOps & Learning Cycles


DevOps – 10 Dots

1) Create a culture of trust , respect, and accountability (respect for people)

2) Take customer-centric action (voice of the customer)3) End-to-End responsibility DevSecOps (value streams)4) Work in cross-functional autonomous teams (respect + flow)5) Automate everything you can (accelerate flow)


DevOps – 10 Dots

6) Amplify feedback Loops (check/adjust)7) Continuous integration and deployment (flow)8) Systemic measurement (manage by fact)9) Experimentation & mastery (continuous learning)10) Engage in continuous improvement (PDCA)


The key to the Toyota Way [Lean Thinking]…is not any of the individual elements – but what is

important is having all the elements togetheras a system.

- Taiichi Ohno

Connecting (some of) the Dots

A. Respect for People

B. Customer-driven focus

C. Waste, Variation and Overburden

D. All-inclusive Value Streams

E. Daily Management of work using Visual Systems

F. Level Flow, Small Lots, and Pull

G. Feedback-driven Continuous Learning

H. Rapid-cycle Experimentation with standard work as a platform

A systems driven approach:


Purpose

Process

Technology


Connecting (some of) the Dots

Create your own true north

Be the change you want to see

Everyone has two jobs

Leaders have two more jobs

Behavior over thought
