Vad skiljer egentligen ett högpresterande team från ett dysfunktionellt? Ibland kan det kännas som att gränsen mellan de två ytterligheterna är hårfin och det är inte alltid lätt att hålla sig på rätt sida om den. Five Dysfunctions of a Team är en modell som tydliggör vad som behövs för att få ett team att fungera på bästa sätt och ger konkret vägledning till ett bättre team-klimat. Modellen är framtagen av Patrick Lencioni, grundare av konsultföretaget TableGroup och författare till ett flertal böcker.

Syftet med seminariet är att ge en översikt a Five Dysfunctions of a Team och ge en förståelse för vilka de fem dysfunktionerna är.

Leading organizations around the world are increasingly seeking to embark on Lean initiatives to become more competitive.  Organizations implementing Lean harness employee brainpower to improve financial performance through reduced costs, faster business execution, faster product development, and improved customer satisfaction.  However, with so many sources of information and so many internal opinions on where to begin, it can be difficult and confusing to get started.  In this extraordinary full-day event, Softhouse in collaboration with the Lean Software Institute of San Diego, California, will provide a comprehensive executive-level introduction to all key aspects of Lean for organizations that depend on their ability to develop and deliver software-intensive products and services.

Participants will learn about how to:

• Position Lean as an organizational initiative that yields faster innovation
• Understand how organizational learning can benefit financial performance
• Apply key principles and practices of Lean to address concrete execution challenges
• Use a five-dimensional framework to map and analyze product development performance
• Learn how to rapidly redesign their product development systems to utilize Lean principles
• Establish and manage a non-stop system for continuous reflection and innovation
• Apply Lean to every part of the organization
• Identify and resolve cultural and leadership obstacles that make Lean difficult
• Assess their own organization’s readiness for beginning a Lean initiative
• Develop a strategy for moving forward

Audience

Participation in this event is reserved for senior executives in technology companies with 100 or more employees.
