**What’s this about?**

Join us for an open, peer-driven conversation on Flow, Value Streams, Systems Thinking, Leadership, Lean, Agile, Product, Tech and AI.

Lean coffee sessions have no agenda upfront — just topics suggested and voted on by attendees. Grab a coffee and bring your ideas / curiosity!

**Who’s it for?**

You're a driven leader, obsessed with improving flow and performance in organizations. You're looking to connect with peers who share your interests and challenges.

**About The Flow Collective**

We're a private peer group of professionals passionate about improving work and information flow across organizations.
We like to talk, share, meet and work together. We want to grow a tightly-knit, invite-only community of highly engaged colleagues.

I personally have gotten a lot of value from attending: help with challenging projects, building my business, and learning new things.

**What You'll Learn**

Practical tools to visualize, analyze and optimize your workflows.

In this hands-on 1-hour workshop, you'll map a delivery workflow, identify bottlenecks, and apply lean principles to improve your delivery’s effectiveness.

**What is Value Stream Mapping?**

**Value Stream Mapping (VSM)** is designed to help teams achieve a **specific business outcome** by improving **work processes**.

In a series of **group mapping activities**, teams **visualize the flow of work** from start to finish, identify **inefficiencies**, **delays**, and **waste**. The team uses what they’ve learned to create a **roadmap of measurable improvement actions**, in service of delivering more **value to the customer**.

Originally developed at Toyota in the 1940s, value stream mapping helps teams visualize workflows to eliminate waste and deliver value faster. [More info.](https://migueldias.eu/blog/2025-05-19-what-is-vsm/)

**Who Should Attend?**

* **Senior Leaders:** Visualize and invest on what's blocking your business goals.
* **Product Managers & Owners:** Speed up feature delivery and time-to-value.
* **Technology Leaders & Engineers:** Apply DevOps principles to reduce deployment pain, increase flow, and improve quality.
* **Agile Coaches:** Help teams see the system end-to-end, and facilitate conversations about that drive measurable improvement.
* Anyone who wants to make work less wasteful and improve delivery of value to the customer

**Workshop Agenda**

1. Arrival and Introductions (5 min)
2. Quick Introduction to Value Stream Mapping (5 min)
3. Hands-on Mapping Exercise (30 min)
4. Group Discussion on Constraints & Solutions (15 min)
5. Action Planning & Next Steps (5 min)

**Logistics**

The call opens at start time, and it's first-come, first-serve - the first 10 people to join get to participate! If we're at capacity when you arrive, try again next time, or reach out about booking an exclusive workshop for you and your team!

I'm choosing this approach for 2 reasons:

* What counts is whether you show up to the workshop, not how far in advance you've booked it
* Online sessions work best when they're short and small so everyone gets time to participate and ask questions

**Workshop Agreement**

1\. Speak up\, think big\, raise concerns & questions
2\. Dive in\!\! Add to the board
3\. Don’t talk about invisible things: write it on the board\, then talk about it
4\. Please be present on video and audio

**Recording Notice**

This workshop will be recorded for quality purposes and to create educational content. Clips from the session may be used in promotional materials and training videos to help others learn about Value Stream Mapping. By participating, you consent to this recording.
