Right before the Lean Agile Brighton 2018 conference, three days of outcome-oriented change with Mike Burrows and Karl Scotland, exploring the intersection of various topics including the x-matrix, catchball, strategy deployment, transformation strategy, leadership, and continuous transformation.

As you’d expect from two of the Lean-Agile community’s leading exponents of participatory approaches to strategy, it’s not classroom teaching but an immersive hands-on workshop.

Our agenda isn't rigid; it's the philosophy of "core or better" applied to what is now a well-practised flow, allowing plenty of time for deep dives on a wide range of complementary models and tools that can integrate in surprising ways.

Agenda

Day 1: Discover the future

From: Impromptu Networking; The Future Backwards; Celebration/5W; True North/FOTO; Aspirations; TRIZ

Day 2: Map the terrain

From: Assessment/FOTO; Even-Over Strategies; X-Matrix - Delphi Style; ODIM Evidence; Four Points; Story Map

Day 3: Step into uncertainty

From: Catchball; Backbriefing; Improv; Changeban; 15% Solutions; A3

A third book, working title Right to Left: A leader's guide to Lean-Agile, is planned for publication in 2019.
