Lean Innovation with Kanban
Teams face paradoxes & dilemmas
Efficiency & Innovation
Stability & change
Building on Paradox
Knowledge work involves 2 things
Exploitation: solving problems by exploiting current knowledge
Exploration: finding new problems to solve; exploring new knowledge
You need to explicitly manage those 2 aspects
Concrete problems
Uneven flow
Start-stop progress
Priority changes
Most of the "turbulence" that is later overburdens the outbound flow is caused by the inbound flow
You need to manage the end-to-end flow to solve the problem
Downstream: it's about limiting wip, managing bottlenecs
Upstream: it's about generating sufficient options
Contradiction: commitments with uncertainty
early commitments are often done with false assumptions, generating rework for a team that's already overburdened
The solution to the "false assumptions" problem is validated learning based on hypothesis
PDCA
But the hypothesis need to be based on something: you need observations
OODA
Fixed Mindset
Are we making observations (only) based on what we know? or are we really innovating?
Invisible gorillas
Part of this is natural: the more a team works together, the more the variety of options considered narrows down
Ugly ducklings: solutions looking for a problem
Path creation is the solution
Exploring ideas that we don't completely understand, but that it has potential for something new
Nurturing the "ugly ducklings" helps developing a Growth Mindset
