Exploring the connections between Lean IT and Cynefin
Cynefin. System Thinking and Complexity have emerged as an essential concept towards agility in the knowledge work of IT. Complexity is best addressed by Probing and Sensing through experimentation cycles, as brilliantly introduced by Mike and Karl at our first meet-up. Yet experimentation is only possible if you can iterate quickly and cheaply, which is why DevOps is so essential. Dealing with the Simple things efficiently, simplifying and being more effective over the Complicated things so much of the brain bandwidth can be directed towards the Complex things.
The enterprise needs to organise continuous Experimentation cycles to innovate and Industrialisation cycles to do it competitively. Lean IT is not THE solution to the range of Complexity we are dealing with. But it brings contributions to addressing those themes. So, we will aim to explore such connections and how far Lean Thinking is helping. For our second meet-up, we will aim to run a more interactive session as a Lean Coffee to explore the flows of Industrialisation and Experimentation in IT and how to deploy Lean Thinking and Complexity Thinking in organisations. Please submit your questions on this board. We will introduce the subject / gather more questions and address them as a panel. The audience will be welcomed to participate and share your own experiences. Jon will also contribute his experience, joining the panel.
