Agenda for SEAM #4

Karl Scotland presents

Turn Your Organisation Into A Laboratory with Strategy Deployment

For large enterprises, the ability to deliver early and often is necessary, but not sufficient. Without clear and transparent alignment to a strategy, the organisation might still end up being very busy, getting better at delivering more and more of the wrong thing, but not achieving any positive results. However, knowing what the right strategy should be can also be a challenge in today’s complex world. Strategy Deployment is the Lean approach to meeting this challenge. Organisations need to become laboratories, in which they are constantly running experiments, generating learning, and applying that learning to continually progress towards their True North.

Overview:

SEAM is a new London based monthly meet-up focussing on Enterprise Agility, new ways of working which enable enterprises to offer value and opportunity to their customers.
Naturally there is a significant focus on technology although it is in the context of the purpose of the enterprise – what organisations are attempting to achieve as well as how to go about it.
Each meet up will be different and will use combinations of the following to provide the aforementioned insights:
Customer/Business/Technology case studies from organisations leading the way or trying something different
• Presentations and/or demos from thought leaders
• Community participation where everyone has the opportunity to discuss their opinions on relevant subject matter
• Guest speakers from different walks of life who can add alternative perspectives on achievement of one form or another

Whilst not an exhaustive list, the type of topics we’ll be covering include:
• Enterprise objectives, realisation and the management there of
• Innovation
• Lean processing
• Agile delivery
• User/Customer Experience
• DevOps
• Cloud
• Security
• Sustainability

The target SEAM community is a diverse group of people who are interested in all or some of the above. Our aim is to bring people together from all backgrounds including customers, senior management, technologists, business operations and so on.
