How do Teams Continue to Win during Times of Turmoil and Uncertainty?

By Dominica DeGrandis

We had a big snow this week. Twelve inches total, a forty-three year record in our part of Puget Sound country. We lost power for ten hours – no furnace, no computer, no lights. No problem - I cozied up to an emergency kerosene stove and opened Jim Collins’ new book, Great by Choice, a study of winning behavior when confronted by uncertainty - with comparisons between companies that win and companies that languish. I was especially fascinated by the parallels I see between the behavior of Jim Collins’ winners and key concepts that we teach with Kanban for coping with uncertainty.

An Official “Kanban - Successful Evolutionary Change for Your Technology Business” Class

with Dominica DeGrandis (instructor)

Because software only has a chance of being valuable after it is in production, this training focuses on optimizing the whole of the organization by introducing practices that help break down silos and promote cross-functional collaboration.
