Introduction
Kanban Method is an evolutionary approach to change and change management that starts with what you do now. Developed and refined over more than twenty years, it’s a proven, change management method that significantly derisks complex change programs, dramatically increasing their success.
Why adopt the Kanban Method?
Kanban Method starts with what you do now. It’s an evolutionary approach to change and change management that respects current roles, responsibilities and job titles, and encourages acts of leadership at all levels. By agreeing to pursue incremental, evolutionary change that evolves business processes, the risks associated with complex change programs are significantly reduced, and success rates are dramatically increased.
What are the main concepts
The Kanban method is an evolutionary approach to change and change management which starts with what you do now, respecting current roles, responsibilities and job titles, and encouraging acts of leadership at all levels. By agreeing to pursue incremental, evolutionary change that evolves business processes using a Kaizen approach the risks associated with complex change programs are significantly reduced.
Maximise Agility
Agility is the ability to match the pace demanded by the market. The more frequently the market changes, the more agile you need to be. The Kanban Method helps maximise agility by offering approaches to starting work, speed of delivery, consistency of delivery, and frequency of delivery.
Predictable Flow
Work gets stuck in many ways: dependencies on others, rework, unclear needs, interruptions, and bottlenecks, to name a few. Delays introduce risk to the deliverability of predictable and reliable products and services. Kanban provides techniques to manage flow, remove delays, and get risks under control.
Committed Delivery
Kanban allows you to manage capabilities and make promises you can keep. It enables you to measure your service effectively, judge the impact of changes you introduce, and use data to predict delivery capabilities effectively.
Visual Models
Knowledge Work is largely invisible. Kanban uses visual models such as boards and metrics to “unhide” work in progress.
This creates visibility into status and a single point of truth for collaboration.
Improved Culture
Often, organisational structure prevents people reaching full potential. Kanban reveals these pain points. With a greater appreciation of organisational challenges and the means to do something about them, the Kanban Method encourages participation throughout your workforce to lead change.
