Flow Engineering

A world of accelerating change demands a new generation of management with the skills to drive decisive action and elevate performance. Managers tasked with delivering results collide with peers whose conflicting goals, perspectives, and incentives freeze progress and create a glacial pace of change. New thinking and practices are needed to act in alignment. You can't copy-and-paste a solution, and you can't do it alone. To collaborate effectively, you need to create a shared map of the territory; you need to pick your battles; you need Value Stream Clarity. Readers will discover profound yet practical applications of systems thinking, psychology, and organizational design in this new book by value stream experts Andrew Davis and Steve Pereira. With a step-by-step guide to visualizing the outcomes, processes, and dependencies, Davis and Pereira use case studies from across industries to show readers how to unlock innovation and optimal performance. Learn how to co-create value stream maps of the hidden relations and interactions that constrain your teams, maps that everyone can align with and act on. Reach across the whitespace in your organization and replace friction with flow using Value Stream Clarity.
