Introductory Video
Course Agenda
The morning of the first of three days will be used to establish the overall context of the system modeling activities which follow. This will be done through a small amount of lecture, combined with both small and large group discussions.
Once the stage is set, we will transition to thoughtful analysis of the impact of different organizational design decisions on adaptability and value delivery using system modeling. Following each incremental framework agnostic advance in our understanding, we will map concrete aspects of LeSS into our increasingly enlighted understanding of organizational system dynamics. The system modeling brings deeper insight, while mapping this insight into LeSS facilitates better retention along with an understanding of how to act on what is being learned.
We will continue to incrementally advance our depth of understanding using system modeling for the majority of the three days. Towards the end of the third day time will be spent: coalescing the whole of our enhanced understanding, providing guidance on how to move forward, and orrienting participants on how to navigate a wealth of additional information.

Training Venue Details
Downtown Baltimore turns out to be the best choice for the course, as it provides the best balance of logistics and cost.
The downtown Baltimore Amtrak station (BAL) is a short Uber ride to the downtown hotels, which makes it super easy and quick for participants to travel from New York City (2h20m via Acela), and Philadelphia (1h10m via Acela). There is also a light rail link from BWI airport to downtown Baltimore for those of us who are flying.
I am currently planning to host the event in the Kimpton Hotel Monaco Baltimore Inner Harbor. I will bind the event space concurrent with transitioning out of pre-registration. The Kimpton Monaco is situated along with other 4 and 5 star event hotels in the upscale Inner Harbor area.
Lunch each day is included in the price of the course.
