More Details.
Building high-performing product teams by empowering them to foster a continuous improvement mindset is the most effective way to create sustainable and scaleable change across your organisation
This hands-on collaborative workshop incentivises teams to maximise their performance and impact, enabling strong product thinking and continuous improvement mindsets.
The Lean Capability Canvas very quickly moves them into a position where they can take those theoretical “We want to improve!” conversations into the practical actions required for change.
Sustainable change can only be achieved via ground up co-creation. Without a self-driven continuous improvement mindset, or the tools that allow for it to grow and be replicated, product organisations will be unable to drive feasible change within teams and will lose their competitive advantage.
Whether you are part of the cross-functional product leadership that leads multiple teams, a member of a product team looking to improve working practices, or a Product Ops practitioner accountable in enabling teams to become more effective — this workshop and the Lean Capability Canvas will be an invaluable tools that provide the structure for real actionable change.
