Kanban Coaching Exchange

About the talk:
In complex organisational environments, teams often struggle with fragmented systems, manual processes, and unpredictable workflows. This presentation tells the story of a transformative initiative within a 3,000-person organization in Italy, where traditional HR challenges—particularly in onboarding and recruiting—were addressed using a data-driven approach.
By mining data from legacy systems and adopting Kanban practices, the HR team uncovered hidden inefficiencies, improved process predictability, and achieved gains in speed and control. The introduction of a data lake platform enabled real-time workflow visibility, anomaly detection, and continuous improvement—all without replacing existing tools.

Participants will gain insights into:

• Mapping and measuring real workflows using a data lake system
• Integrating data from multiple legacy systems
• Leveraging dashboards and Kanban metrics for decision-making
• Achieving improvement without large-scale system changes

This case study offers a practical roadmap for operations leaders aiming to drive transformation by starting from what they already have.

🎉 End-of-Year Kanban Jam: You Ask, We Answer! 🎉

Forget the slide decks and scripted talks—this time, you’re setting the agenda. To wrap up the year, we’re flipping the format. No lectures. No workshops. Just real conversations about the stuff that actually matters to you. Got burning questions about Kanban, organisational change, or even Scrum (yes, we said it)? Bring them along!

Whether you're wondering...

• 🤔 How do I become a trainer?
• 🧠 How do I talk to leadership about Kanban without their eyes glazing over?
• 🔍 Scrum vs Kanban—what’s the deal? Can they play nice?
• 📈 How do I forecast without a crystal ball?
• 🚀 How do I kick off a new team or run a STATIK workshop that doesn’t suck?

We’ll be using Lean Coffee Table to capture your questions and guide the session—so it’s all about your challenges, your ideas, and your learning.

Come chat, share, learn, and maybe even laugh a little. It’s the perfect way to end the year with your fellow change-makers.

The session will be hosted by Dan Brown and Helen Meek.

In December the KCE takes a well deserved break. So spend this time with your friends and family having festive fun. See you in 2026!

Lots of Love
