About the session
Join us for a visual journey into the world of value stream mapping and bottlenecks. Creating Value Stream Maps is a super way to help you see where to focus improvement efforts - but they are hard to do! We will energise the participants of this highly collaborative session through hands on Learning through Play with Lego and railroads. The game has 3 rounds with reflections after each round to entice improvements from the participants with well posed questions.
Participants will be able to:
- Diverge in teams and converge over a series of complex problems
- Mapping out their value stream as they go
- Work will be shared across multiple teams complete with dependencies
Participant takeaways:
- A simple, visual way to build a relevant Value Stream Map that participants can use in their own organisations
- How to identify bottlenecks and calculate wait time
- Identify opportunities to exploit a bottleneck and build to it
- Identify areas where reorganising teams could increase value delivery
- Manage cross team dependencies
