System Thinking

At the Large Scale Scrum Community Meetup, I presented this talk.

Detail

Understanding the dynamics of your organization, teams, formal and informal-formal structure is important to know prior to fiddling with. Experienced coaches frequently apply Systems Thinking and Modeling (or Causal Loop Diagram “CLD”) to get a good discussion and good insight into the system. The only thing to get more profession with System Thinking is … practice more System Thinking, also in uncommon domain.

This meetup is dedicated to provide help in starting your own System Thinking model and discussion, supporting in getting the right variables and also share with other practitioners. Some participants gave feedback about difficulties in finding right variables and their related links or getting real benefit from the modelling activities.

So in this LeSS Meetup we will work on how to “find useful variables”, on how to “getting started with System Model” and on how to “expand System Models”. Focusing on system optimization goals and eliminating waste in your system.

We encourage you to bring your own situations or systems you would like to improve. We would like you to practice on your real systems to get out the most benefit. But we will provide some real system examples, as well. So that you can experience the practices independent if you are able to share your business insides or not.

Looking forward to another inspiring LeSS Meetup with lots of practices, working with you on System Model, having valuable conversations and creating new insides for all of us.
