Workshop: High Performance Organizations: Creating Lean Enterprises That Move Fast At Scale

Time: Monday 09:00 - 16:00 / Location: Room 2

DURATION: 1 day

OVERVIEW

Large organizations often struggle to leverage software to create innovative products. A number of organizational factors conspire to create obstacles to moving fast at scale, including culture, governance, and financial management, and the application of portfolio and program management strategies that do not take advantage of the unique characteristics of software.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

In this training we’ll discuss how to take a lean approach to developing new products and running large scale programs of work, and how to grow a culture that enables organizations to turn software into a competitive advantage.

  • Directors of IT, both for applications and for infrastructure and operations
  • Anyone working in program or project management, including members of the PMO
