About the workshop

This leadership workshop explores how we can create and sustain a nimble, humane organization when delivering digital services at speed and at scale.

The book Team Topologies points the way to profound changes for the operating model for organizations building and running software-enriched services. At the heart of Team Topologies is the principle of fast flow: multiple ongoing streams of changes to software-enriched services done safely and sustainably. By focusing on fast flow using Team Topologies patterns – especially decoupling and service-centricity – organizations can expect to see significant benefits, including:

• Increased financial efficiency – typically $ millions per year
• Increased end-to-end financial transparency
• Shorter time-to-value
• Better scaling ability without the slowdowns normally found with larger organizations
• Marked improvements in detecting and meeting user needs (or customer needs)
• Increased staff wellbeing and engagement (autonomy, mastery, purpose)
• Greater overall organizational agility

In this workshop, attendees typically co-discover some key principles and patterns for fast flow based on fundamental operating constraints. Many or most of these principles and patterns are typically present in the book Team Topologies, helping people to link the Team Topologies ideas to core principles, thereby enhancing awareness of the organizational dynamics needed for fast flow at scale.

Ultimately, using „fast flow“ as a key organizing principle also results in more generalized business agility, mostly because we are encouraged to think about decoupling between separate „things“ and the real value of what the organization provides. So although it is not the end goal, fast flow certainly helps significantly to help the organization to respond in a nimble manner.
