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

Themes: Flow, Games, Facilitation, Scaling, Organisation, Theory of Constraints, Visualisation, Systems Thinking, Thought-Provoking
