I’ve seen things most people wouldn’t believe…

Like the rise of A Learning organization, fueled by the enlightened self-interest of ITS people

I saw how Curiosity and courage can generate endless options

... And what it means to develop, and honor people for their ideas & contribution.

All those… moments... will be lost in time
like tears... in... rain

It’s a world where Invention and innovation are replaced by organizational conformity…

… You are a “chicken”. You shouldn’t even talk
The traditional agile approach towards management Hasn’t been particularly effective

Some people question targets. Question arbitrary targets instead. "How are we going to change our systems to achieve it?” That’s an excellent question.

It’s not what you do but rather what you learn by doing it that matters.
So, maybe...

Value Stream

An A3 report, for example, “surfaces” a learning stream around a problem

Kaizen memo:

We didn’t trace the small, continuous improvements to our work
Created “Kaizen memos” to post on an “implemented ideas” board
Team members trace and celebrate every implemented idea, even the smallest!

Kaizen Memos
A set of kaizen memos can represent another Learning stream…

can we seek to surface?

That was a (powerful) learning stream!

BUT… HOW DO WE KNOW THAT
WE ARE actually CREATING VALUE?

“… complexity and uncertainty are natural to social systems and knowledge work.”
It’s hard. We accept that…

“ --Jeff Patton
If you get good at delivering shit faster, you just get a lot of shit.
Are we doomed?

VALIDATED LEARNING
(A lean startup story) 3

Some time ago, I decided to write a book on A3 thinking
![Page 76: Beyond Value Streams: Experimental Evolution in Action](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051411/541a01637bef0a65128b6199/html5/thumbnails/76.jpg)
But I didn’t want to write a book that nobody reads…
![Page 77: Beyond Value Streams: Experimental Evolution in Action](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051411/541a01637bef0a65128b6199/html5/thumbnails/77.jpg)
So, I Documented my initial assumptions on a Lean canvas
Customer Segments
Early adopters
Unfair Advantage
Channels
Revenue streams Cost structure
Unique Value Proposition
Solution
Key metrics
Top 3 Problems
Existing alternatives
![Page 78: Beyond Value Streams: Experimental Evolution in Action](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051411/541a01637bef0a65128b6199/html5/thumbnails/78.jpg)
… and then, I went “out of the building”, to validate those assumptions
![Page 79: Beyond Value Streams: Experimental Evolution in Action](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051411/541a01637bef0a65128b6199/html5/thumbnails/79.jpg)
Build
Measure
Learn idea
Product data
(Turn ideas into product)
(How customers respond)
(whether to pivot or persevere)
(often a series of MVPs)
I shaped my thinking around the the build/measure/learn loop through an experiment board

…Which, today, consists of observations/insights, open questions, and ideas…

targets, analysis and hypotheses…

Experiments (identify, define metric, build)
![Page 83: Beyond Value Streams: Experimental Evolution in Action](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051411/541a01637bef0a65128b6199/html5/thumbnails/83.jpg)
Validation (qualitative & quantitative)
![Page 84: Beyond Value Streams: Experimental Evolution in Action](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051411/541a01637bef0a65128b6199/html5/thumbnails/84.jpg)
…& knowledge base.

“ -- Claudio Perrone
I execute tasks To develop features That are part of experiments That I run to validate hypotheses That I formulate thanks to observations about the world that surrounds us.
In other words…
![Page 86: Beyond Value Streams: Experimental Evolution in Action](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051411/541a01637bef0a65128b6199/html5/thumbnails/86.jpg)
My mindset shifted: “From concept to cash” to “From question to knowledge base”
![Page 87: Beyond Value Streams: Experimental Evolution in Action](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051411/541a01637bef0a65128b6199/html5/thumbnails/87.jpg)
Ironically, I never wrote that book
![Page 88: Beyond Value Streams: Experimental Evolution in Action](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051411/541a01637bef0a65128b6199/html5/thumbnails/88.jpg)
people needed something to help them when and where it mattered most
![Page 89: Beyond Value Streams: Experimental Evolution in Action](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051411/541a01637bef0a65128b6199/html5/thumbnails/89.jpg)
So I tested an idea with a low fidelity MVP

It’s not what you do but rather what you learn by doing it that matters.
