Kanban System Design  (KMP1)

As the world of work becomes more complex and accelerated, many organisations are seeking to improve how they deliver change in the form of projects and services.

Kanban System Design teaches Lean and Agile practices to help you and your team employ incremental, iterative approaches in improving business process, policy and products, swapping those risky large scale change programmes for a cultural shift towards continuous improvement, transformation and transparency.

This highly interactive, Kanban University accredited, training course introduces attendees to the Kanban Method, an alternative path to agility.

“Most organizations would say they have a solid strategy, and some are pursuing new ways of working to achieve that strategy; however, often not in an optimal way. BVSSH is the unlock for organizations, and this book gives the practical guidance to WIN.”

Courtney Kissler, VP Global Technology Nike

“This book provides an indispensable guide for leaders who wish to run truly agile organizations.”

David Silverman Co-Author of Team of Teams, CEO of CrossLead

“It is a real pleasure to read a book that doesn’t assume ‘Agile is the solution, now what is your problem?’ This is a realistic approach to adopting (or not adopting) agile in your organization. The theory is sound; the practice is extensive. I strongly recommend this book.”

Dave Snowden Chief Scientific Officer, Cognitive Edge, Creator of Cynefin

“How many times do we hear the word Agile being misused in today’s corporate world? Jonathan’s excellent book provides us all with a very practical guide on how to embrace agility in an ever increasingly digital, chaotic, and challenging world where the path to delivering outcomes is uncertain.”

Ian Buchnan Independent Board Director and Advisor, Former CIO/COO Barclays, Societe Generale, Nomura

“Sooner Safer Happier is a must-read for leaders who have recognised the need to connect the cultural and the technological aspects of digital transformation. Jon Smart has established a critical set of patterns and antipatterns that are indispensable for an outcome-based shift from projects and waterfalls to products and innovation.”
