Recorded at the annual 2019 SEACON Conference in London, today Mik’s plus one is Jon Smart, Partner, Business Agility at Deloitte.

In this episode of Mik + One, Mik and Jon discuss:

  • The value and importance of focusing on “Better Value, Sooner, Safer, Happier” and why Agile is no longer the answer
  • The importance of senior leaders implementing a mindset shift and focusing on outcomes instead of output
  • Why leaders should be looking at the end-to-end flow, how it impacts business results and the need to identify what they are optimizing for and what they want to optimize for
  • Employee incentivization and implementing recognition and rewards for motivating teams – not individuals – to reduce silos across the value stream
  • The introduction of Flow Metrics on the product value stream
