Lean & Kanban Conference London 2009 – Call for Ideas
Update: The provisional dates have moved to from Sep 21-22 to Sep 27-29.
I am pleased to announce that we have started to plan for a Lean & Kanban Conference to take place in London, provisionally set for Sep 27-29 at the RSA (http://www.thersa.org/house).
As well as hoping to get these dates pencilled into your diaries, we would like to get your ideas and feedback on what and who we could include in the conference program. Please let us know if:
- There is something you would like to talk about
- There is something you would like to hear about
- There is someone you would like to hear talk
- There is a format you would prefer (e.g. more talks or more open space)
We’d particularly like to hear from you if you are based in Europe so we can have a strong ‘local’ flavour, and we’re also looking for recommendations of people beyond software development who might add a different perspective.
Looking forward to getting lots of replies!
p.s. Don’t forget the Lean & Kanban 2009 Miami conference on May 6-8. See http://leankanbanconference.com/

I posted last week about the fact that I’ll be at the Lean Software & Systems Conference (LSSC12) in Boston soon. Well, there’s another smaller but similar conference coming up, which unfortunately I can’t be at. Why only blog about conferences I’m going to? This is one I would be at if I could, so More >

Linking Flow, Value and Capability
about 3 weeks ago - 6 comments
I wrote recently that I have come to think about Flow, Value and Capability as the primary impacts I hope a Kanban System will have. Flow, Value and Capability are not independent entities, however, with Capability being the link between Flow and Value. We can think of Flow as “doing the thing right”, where good More >
What is Capability?
about 1 month ago - No comments
I recently gave talk at the London Scrum User Group (LSUG) describing Kanban Thinking and had a very interesting conversation about what I mean by the impact on capability. I realised I needed to think it through in a bit more detail, and this is an attempt to articulate it better. Defining Capability In his More >
Impact, Outcome and Output
about 1 month ago - No comments
As I alluded to in the previous post, one of the changes in thinking, and in particular language, for me recently is the idea of impact. Specifically that impact is different from outcome which is itself different from output. I’ve differentiated outcome from output for some time, as have others, but I believe impact is More >
Three Cynefin Ahas

Over the last year I’ve been increasingly influenced by ideas from Cynefin, created by Dave Snowden of Cognitive Edge. If you want a good introduction, Liz Keogh recently blogged a good explanation. I’ve realised that there are 3 key changes in my thinking, some completely new, and some reinforced by a better understanding of cognitive More >

The Science of Kanban – Process

This is the third part of a write-up of a talk I gave at a number of conferences last year. The previous post was about the science of people. Even though a kanban system describes knowledge work, we can still apply formal sciences such as mathematics. Rather than applying them at a detailed, micro level, More >
