resilient change, lean kanban netherlands oct2012
DESCRIPTION
Many lean-agile teams are being challenged in their growth path. They are not able to grasp the emergent opportunities that are presented by a changing environment and they cannot overcome the barriers to get to the next level of performance.In this interactive presentation, lean-agile practitioners will learn how resiliency thinking can bring them to the next level. Resilience is the ability to survive, adapt, and even grow amidst disruption. It is the capacity to absorb disturbance without losing (team) identity. While resilience models have been mainly developed n socio-ecological research, we will show how they can drastically enhance lean-agile thinking. We will show how to analyze a team from a resilience perspective using the panarchy model and its adaptive cycles; and we will demonstrate how to improve resiliency through modularity, diversity, and translational leadership. Participant will leave the session with the insights to bounce back from disruptions.TRANSCRIPT

7Resilience thinking
Resilienct change
Resilience is the capacity of a system to absorb disturbance while undergoing change and still retain essentially the same function, structure, identity, and feedbacks.

13Feedback loops
Resilienct change
We have a bad history of change
People do not believe change is possible
Change initiative fail
We have long lead times
Many loopbacks at then end of projects
Spend more time in the beginning
