LeanTech Series: Identifying and Organising Value Streams using Wardley Maps

Anybody trying to move their organisation to value streams (also known as shifting from project to products) quickly tends to find out that reworking the alignment is far from a trivial exercise. How do you get a fresh visualisation of the organisation outside of the organigram? How do you elevate from the quagmire that too low level techniques such as value stream mapping tend to result in.

Wardley Maps offer a modern strategic framework for businesses, especially when the landscape is fast changing. What makes them special is that they automatically offer a value orientation, as every map should start from the users and their needs. And they visualise the organisation alignment in support of those user outcomes. They are therefore the perfect tool to visualise the business system and take decisions of alignment.

During this session, we will dive into the fundamentals of Wardley Mapping, exploring how to use this technique to pinpoint how value flows through different parts of your organisation. You will learn how to leverage these maps to improve organisation alignment, organise topologies of the teams and support operating model considerations.

Whether you're a product manager, a business strategist, or an executive, this meetup offers valuable insights and practical tips to help you get started with the difficult realignment of your business to effective value generation. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn, share, and connect with like-minded professionals. We look forward to welcoming you!
