Description :

LeSS and Learn is a new 2 day workshop-style course, exclusively for already certified LeSS practitioners and executives, to deepen LeSS knowledge and mastery.

 

The workshop is designed to refresh and to share knowledge amongst a diverse and experienced group, guided by Greg Hutchings, expert LeSS coach and trainer, who has deep experience in multiple domains of innovative product development.  His most recent LeSS adoptions have been at BMW in Munich for autonomous driving, in Stuttgart with Mercedes Benz, in Berlin with PayU, a Fintech payment company and he has also coached Flixbus in Munich and Berlin in their non-LeSS large scale agile adoption.  You can read more about Greg on LinkedIn and the company he founded Amelior Services on the company website.

 

 

The format is intended to be highly interactive, with active participation and sharing by all participants.   Come help co-create a highly impactful and immersive learning experience!

Agenda :

The agenda will be set by the participants, in advance and during the workshop.   As trainer, I will act as a guide and mentor towards deeper knowledge and experience.  We'll together set priorities for topics and time box focus on those most important to the group.
