Stacey Matrix and 5 Whys - Tackle the Real Problem

Session Summary

We often see a problem and start tackling it without thinking about the nature of it. Is it complicated? Or complex? Or is it simple? It is important to create a common understanding right at the beginning so that the methods being used to solve the problem really help and not decelerate the chosen process. The Stacey Matrix and the 5 Why questions are great and easy to use tools to pick the right methods at the beginning

Speaker Bio

I am a methodologist with a strong connection to agile practices. I like to focus on value and not on planning. The mindset of the people involved is more important to me than following processes.

Improvement at the Speed of Pandemic

Session Summary

The COVID19 pandemic brought unprecedented change….at unprecedented speed. Faced with adversity, organizations were forced to rapidly change and to quickly adapt their processes and procedures. But that agility is not the norm.As continuous improvers, we typically complain about our company’s sloth-like pace in implementing change. But over the past 18 months, we’re now in awe at our company’s capabilities. So, how do we continue to improve at “pandemic speed” after the pandemic is over? Can we sustain that momentum? Can we continue to implement rapid change without burning out our employees? How do we leverage that pandemic agility and incorporate it into the “way we do business”? In this session, CII’s Founder, Allison Greco, will share best practices on how to “improve at pandemic speed” and get your company to return to a better way.

Agile & Lean: A Harmony of Mindsets

Session Summary

Over the past 20 years, we have witnessed an explosion of frameworks in the lean and agile space. This proliferation has led to a lot of confusion.

We shall consider the past, take stock of the present and imagine a bit about the future.
