Reusable Knowledge: How to Maximize Flow in Knowledge Creation Value Streams

Katherine Radeka, President, Whittier Consulting Group, Inc. and Director, Lean Development Resource Center

Date: Monday, September 19

Time: 9:00 a.m. - 4 p.m. with lunch and breaks.

€795 for full day workshop

Product development, strategy development, market and financial analysis and advanced development are all Knowledge Creation Value Streams. In most organizations, the knowledge-creating aspects of these processes are completely invisible. This leads to ineffective decision-making, reinvention, design loopbacks in late development and the inability to adapt to changes in the competitive landscape.

You should take this workshop if you are:

  • Charged with moving your organization towards lean, learning-first or knowledge-based product development.

  • The process owner for a Knowledge Creation Value Stream such as strategy development, R & D, market and customer research or product development.

  • Responsible for programs that emphasize knowledge creation, capture and reuse, such as scientific research, customer research, platform architecture design, shared component development or DfX processes.

  • Exploring ways to eliminate the wastes of reinvention, overload, late found defects, invention-on-schedule or revisited decisions.

  • Interested in building a company that has the ability to leverage knowledge into sustainable competitive advantage.

Topics:

  • Value and Waste in Knowledge Creation Value Streams

  • Reusable Knowledge: What It Is, How to Recognize It and How to Share It

  • Effective Decisions in Knowledge Creation Value Streams

  • The Environment for Knowledge Creation
