Throughput Accounting : The single, solitary system thinking approach to destroying Silo mentality
Silo, as they say, must be eliminated. But how long does it take, What is the talk? What is the walk? All approaches fail. The remedy is at the system's logical level. Science is involved.
At the logical level, there is only one solution: TameFlow with Throughput Accounting.
Why ? It needs to go straight to the CxO level.
Culture is a reflection of a company's system, which are a reflection of top management's mental models. Accounting is the most pervasive system of any company. If a culture change is contemplated, the prevailing cost accounting systems have to go.
Outline/Structure of the Talk
We will address the following items:
Complexity & Inherent Simplicity
Culture and decision making by consensus or unanimity ?
The obsession of cost accounting to make all cost variable and hence have data that is unreliable and useless to decision making
The 3 components of Throughput Accounting that a five year old can understand: I, OE and TVC
The close ties between the Theory of Constraints and Throughput Accounting
The simplicity and decentralization of decision making with Throughput Accounting.
Learning Outcome
The CxO will understand that in the history of mankind, not a single optimal managerial decision has ever been made with cost accounting data. Yet we persist. The madness has to stop.
Cost Accounting is a pillar of Financial Reporting that requires GAAP. No one, ever, has hinted in all the IFRS, FASB and GAAP directives that this cost accounting data be used for decision making, yet is it abused at great financial cost and human suffering.
Why?
All of these answers will be made available ....
Target Audience
CxOs
Prerequisites for Attendees
Understanding of Cost Accounting. Then we will expose all of the cognitive biases that creates layers of permanent overhead costs that leads to the company's demise.
For that, watch my livestream with John Coleman out on Sept 01 ... The youtube will be posted ... I will deal with Throughput Accounting

The Agile Manifesto came out in 2001. It’s all about teams. And yet, HR processes still focus on individuals. A few years ago, companies in Europe started to ask questions on how Agile affects HR, specifically in performance management and reward & recognition. In the US, this exercise only started recently, even though there were a few voices raising and answering these questions early on. In this interactive talk, we dare you to open the HR pandora’s box and go on a tour with us as we share with you how we navigate the HR waters to increase your business agility. We hope you would be courageous enough to join us in driving this transition in your organisations.

Nico Gonzalez / Ashley Beattie - The AI Learning Flow: using agile & design thinking to develop human-centric AI solutions
Nico GonzalezHead of Applied InnovationAgile by DesignAshley BeattieAgile Coach and DevOps Transformation LeadAgile By Designschedule 5 months ago
40 Mins
Talk
Intermediate
As Artificial Intelligence takes on a foundational role in tackling complex prediction problems, organizations are increasingly investing to adopt this technology hoping to obtain extraordinary results. However, less than 7% of AI initiatives ever reach production. Part of the challenge is that organizations drastically underestimate the inherent challenges in developing effective AI products. While AI is often seen as a threat to replace us all, the most valuable implementations of AI within the workplace take a human-centric approach and focus on augmentation, not replacement.
In this talk we introduce the “AI Learning Flow”, an agile and design thinking-inspired, human-centric perspective to help teams understand and navigate the challenges inherent to AI product development. This will help you:
- Deeply immerse yourself into the user's context and derive insights into the prediction problems they face
- Co-create value models with your users and stakeholders, taking accuracy economics, training data governance, prediction ethics, and judgment enhancement into consideration.
- Continuously identify, prioritize and validate assumptions through thinly sliced experiments to minimize risk and/or uncertainty.

Ashley Beattie / Fayyaz Hemani - Gamifying your Agile "AHA" moments (in times of COVID) - How we're using games to introduce Agile Fundamentals in a remote context
Ashley BeattieAgile Coach and DevOps Transformation LeadAgile By DesignFayyaz HemaniAgile CoachAgile By Designschedule 5 months ago
40 Mins
Experience Report
Intermediate
For years the Agile community has leveraged games to playfully introduce and reinforce Agile learnings. Whether it's the coin game, the ball-point game, getKanban or another of the myriad of Agile gaming options, the immediately relatable AHA! moments give us new perspectives and insights to apply to our day-to-day lives.
But... we played them in person... Which, as we all know, has become increasingly difficult in 2020.
In this talk we will take you along with us on our journey at a large (familiar, yet un-named) financial institution where we have been developing new and innovative ways to deliver interactive, fun Agile Fundamentals training in a remote setting.
During the talk we will interactively take trainers and learners through:
- what we used to do vs. what we have been doing for the past 7 months
- which games we've developed and/or modified to suit the remote setting
- which principles flow seamlessly and which can be challenging to translate into the remote context
- what we've learned to date and where we're still challenged
We might even play a game or two ;) -

Neil Peterson - A Tale of Some Metrics: It was the Best of Metrics, it was the Worst of Metrics
60 Mins
Workshop
Beginner
Are you feeling imprisoned in a bastille of leadership-imposed metrics? We often have a Dickens of a problem choosing the good from the bad when it comes to metrics.
This session, led by Senior Engineering Manager at Index Exchange and agile veteran, Neil Peterson, equips attendees with an evaluation rubric and example metrics. We will discuss metrics to evaluate release level performance while looking at the stories that can be seen in real-world uses of these metrics. Metrics to evaluate sprint and story efficiency will also be reviewed. In the second half of this session, we will discuss attendee challenges and goals and examine some metrics to support those goals. By combining theory with practical applications, the presentation offers a how-to guide on building a measurement strategy that will result in tangible benefits for your teams.

Jason Schreuder - Coaching with “Skin in the Game”: How to be an Effective Embedded Agile Coach
40 Mins
Experience Report
Intermediate
As an external agile coach consultant, for many years I was able to maintain a solid stance of neutrality and objectivity toward client challenges. Now, as an embedded, full-time agile coach, I play by a different set of rules. I strive to be a catalyst for change and challenge the status quo, but I still need to be mindful of internal politics in the interest of self-preservation. Having experienced agile coaching engagements as both an external consultant and an internal employee, I will share some of my insights. I will also explain how an internal coaching capability is vital to achieving enterprise agility.

Wayne Hetherington - Starting and Stopping your Mind
60 Mins
Talk
Intermediate
You’ve been working with a team for a while now and you’ve noticed that planning meetings always go overtime, we can never seem to agree on an estimate, design discussions always go down a technical rabbit hole, and the requirements are always too sparse.
On the other hand, the end of the sprint feels like a giant rush, there’s always unfinished work that bumps to the next sprint, and the customer is still complaining about not having their product yet. What is going on? Where are all these issues coming from?
It could be that your team has trouble starting, and trouble stopping. Join this session to learn about what happens in our minds as we think about our work and how to get started, and stopped - with some fun along the way.
