Lean Agile Glasgow - FREE TRAINING EVENT: Leading at scale
Description changed:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Leading at scale - a guide to the oldest scaled agile framework
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A tutorial based on the techniques from Art of Action by Stephen Bungay, as taught and applied at Skyscanner, an agile organisation of aligned and autonomous squads made up of over 1000 people in 11 offices in 6 timezones.
Leading at scale is hard, really hard. Mainly because reality and human endeavour get in the way; it's hard to create great plans with partial information, then getting dozens or hundreds of people to turn those plans into the right actions is harder, then their actions don't produce the expected results. This is not a new problem - in fact, it's a monumentally old one.
Thankfully, there are some tried and tested solutions too. In this tutorial we'll examine the environment that produces these effects. We'll look specifically at what military leaders have been doing for centuries to counter them, as we explore a long-kept secret; the Prussian military solved agile at scale 200 years ago - they had to.
Based on the seminal Art of Action by Stephen Bungay, this interactive session will take you through the material and look at how to apply it to your organisation. The rest will be up to you!
This tutorial is aimed at leaders at all levels. By the end, you will be able to:
> identify instances of the 3 gaps causing plans to fail
> apply tested principles to bridging those gaps
> deploy strategy via a briefing and back briefing in line with these principles
> empower people to perform using all their unique creative skills
Laz Allan, Jason Kottler and Charlie Pank will be your session facilitators.
> 1730 Welcome, pizzas and refreshments
> 1800 Leading at scale workshop by the Skyscanner team
> 2000 Done! :-)
