Patrick's journey with Agile dates back to the late 90s when he spearheaded the software development of a startup implementing XP practices within a Scrum and Adaptive Project Management framework. Renowned within the Kanban community, Patrick's expertise extends to upstream, customer, and discovery Kanban. He was honoured with the 2015 Brickell Key award for his outstanding contributions to the Kanban community. In 2012, Patrick, along with his partner, founded Okaloa. Since its inception, both Patrick and Arlette have delved deep into the realm of learning, driven by their passion for aiding individuals, teams, and organizations in adopting innovative work methodologies. This passion culminated in the creation of Okaloa Flowlab, a constraint-led learning platform to teach how to combine flow, collaboration, and learning perspectives to achieve business agility.

Post-Agile … what do you mean?

Agile transformations are challenging for large organizations due to the complexity of value creation. The rich interplay between value discovery, value creation, and value delivery necessitates bespoke solutions that traditional out-of-the-box lean, agile and scaling frameworks fail to provide. It requires integrating (lean) flow, (agile) learning, and (scaled) collaboration. More than ad hoc bricolage of home-made solutions, it requires distinguishing impactful keystone practices, applying solid scaling principles, and ways of managing conflicting viewpoints. Moving towards a post-agile era, it is time to adopt multi-perspective frameworks to hold different perspectives in constructive tension, more than enforcing one single perspective. It’s time to move from flow in value streams to freedom to flow in value creation networks.

Get hands-on with a post-agile multi-perspective framework

The complexity of value creation requires a skilful integrating of (lean) flow, (agile) learning, and (scaled) collaboration practices in a way that fits a unique context. It necessitates bespoke solutions that traditional out-of-the-box lean, agile and scaling frameworks fail to provide. But bespoke solutions need to be more than ad hoc bricolage of home-made solutions. It requires the ingredients of a multi-perspective framework: 1) a distinction between keystone practices that have disproportional impact, and background practices that do not; 2) insight in the scaling principles for scaling practices; and 3) a way of integrating the conflicting viewpoints offered by competing frameworks. In this workshop participants will get hands-on experience with a multi-perspective framework for value creation that integrates Scrum, Kanban and Theory of Constraints.:
