Session
Scientific Thinking and the Kanban method
Overview
In this talk, they will describe scientific thinking and how we use this as a basis for improvement cycles to help teams adopt new ways of working through experiential learning.
Scientific thinking is the continuous comparison between what we predict will happen next and what actually happens, to adjust our understanding and actions accordingly. This approach in combination with the Kanban method allows us to breakdown larger transformational initiatives into a set of focused improvement cycles that deliver incremental value.
Project 4 Learning lab have been helping large engineering and service OEMS achieve enhanced success through using Scientific thinking and the Kanban method and they will present our recent experience in implementing this approach.
