Okaloa FlowLab Workshops

Okaloa FlowLab workshops are an experiential way to learn about different aspects of business agility: 1) flow, 2) collaboration, and 3) learning. Each workshop allows participants to experience old and new (more agile) ways of organizing work through simulations. Exercises and discussions in small groups complement reflections of participants on their own practices and ways of working. For the participants, it is an eye-opener, giving a personal motivation to question themselves more and to change their way of working.

By not being restricted to a particular type of work, these workshops speak to all functions (HR, Marketing, IT, …). By including a whole range of contexts (team, multi-teams, value-stream, portfolio…), these workshops speak to all levels of the organization.

Like airplane pilots who train on a simulator (what to do in the event of bad weather, incidents, dangerous or rare situations, etc.), Okaloa FlowLab provides an environment for testing different scenarios in a safe environment. These simulations allow your teams to learn, practice and test new ways of doing things in order to be fully operational in a real situation.

Okaloa FlowLab workshops can be used regardless of the methods currently used by the organization (Waterfall, project driven / PMI, Lean, Agile, Kanban, Scrum, SAFe, Scrumban...).

Typical Agenda of an Okaloa FlowLab Workshop

• Introduction to the workshop theme
• Simulation - Scenario 1 (bad weather): "traditional" way of working
• Debriefing of scenario 1: capturing participants' insights, making links to their personal business experience, root cause analysis and limits
• Exercises and discussions in small groups to suggest improvements
• Simulation - Scenario 2 (good weather): introducing improvements, improving agility
• Debriefing of scenario 2: capturing participants' insights, anchoring learnings from new practices, and analysis of root causes
• Exercises and exchanges in small groups to develop reflection and start practicing as soon as you return to work
• Wrap-up
