A Session for Management Teams Wanting to Explore a Better Way

Businesses are dying faster than ever as they fail to drive adaptation to an increasingly more complex and volatile set of circumstances.  Management is starving for relevant information, much of which is obscured and distorted by antiquated models, methods, rules and tools held over from decades past.  What will it take to change this?

​

This workshop reveals a new management framework that enables a flow-based system of management to drive return on investment performance and adaptation for sustainability and improvement in the longer range.  The new framework is called the Demand Driven Adaptive Enterprise (DDAE) Model. 

 

The Demand Driven Adaptive Enterprise (DDAE) Model spans the operational, tactical and strategic ranges of an organization allowing it to continuously and successfully adapt to the complex and volatile supply chains we see today.  It combines the fundamental principles of flow management with the emerging new science of complex adaptive systems (CAS).  It is the way that successful businesses will work in the 21st Century.  This day long workshop will prove a compelling need for change, demonstrate fundamental solution principles and reveal a blueprint to transform the entire enterprise.  It is intended for senior management teams.
