A brief overview of spaghetti westerns, and a less brief overview of spaghetti diagrams and their applications.

Cutting through the crap and providing the essence of what it means to be Lean. This presentation was inspired and reviewed by the "Godfather of Lean" Norman Bodek.

A brief overview of spaghetti westerns, and a less brief overview of spaghetti diagrams and their applications.

This session will provide a video demonstration and the opportunity for attendees to create and walk away with their own spaghetti diagrams. How cool is that!

“Agile has become overly decorated. Let’s scrape away those decorations for a minute, and get back to the center of agile.”
— Dr. Alistair Cockburn, co-author of the Agile Manifesto.

Lean has become a decorated (*cough* bullshit *cough*) prefixed buzzword plastered on to every latest (and not necessarily greatest) industry trend. Steve Mitchell will strip back the fluff and guff to what Lean really means.

Leadership is challenging, but what if it could be as easy as walking? Or is walking really that easy?

Drawing upon almost a decade of experience in improvisational theatre and two decades in the knowledge sector, this interactive workshop will provide novel insights to common domains. It will make you think and feel differently about leadership in the workplace.

Lean and Agile practices are fundamentally changing the way we lead organisations. More and more business leaders are realising that old methods of management are being replaced by newer and better ones. That means business metrics are also evolving.

Business agility sounds great but as an executive what do I measure for success? If I focus on just one thing to track business agility as opposed to Agile adoption, what should it be?

In this presentation, Steven Mitchell, will discuss two examples of how he helped turn programs around with focus on the number one metric for business agility, and explore related themes to aid your company’s quest for greatness.

Steven Mitchell is an independent Lean & Agile Consultant based in Melbourne, Australia providing training, coaching, and consulting services.

In post-industrial western society we live in a culture dominated by symbolic language (words). But it wasn't always the case and a lot of how we communicate is lost or overlooked by ignoring the totality of our social interactions.

In this session you'll be introduced to some very basic concepts of how we are perceived by others through non-verbal communication, and learn how to influence others.
