Kerika @ Washington State Lean Transformation Conference

Come join us at the Washington State Lean Transformation Conference, to be held October 21-22, 2014 at the Greater Tacoma Convention & Trade Center  in downtown Tacoma at 1500 Broadway Tacoma, Washington!

Arun Kumar, Kerika’s CEO, will present a special Breakout Session on One team, many places: creating collaboration networks for distributed workgroups

The vision of Lean Government is about collaborating across offices, across agencies, and even across sectors. In an era of flat or even declining budgets, it’s become essential to get Lean across the state, not just across the room.

The old technologies never really supported distributed Lean and Agile, but that’s all changed now: a new generation of browser-based work management tools makes it fast and easy to build Lean and Agile teams that connect professionals across agencies, and across sectors so that expertise from the private sector, academia, and nonprofits can be leveraged to deliver great results in Washington.

This breakout session will feature a look at some great cross-agency projects and cross-sector projects: initiatives that have succeeded in delivering in a way that was unimaginable only a couple of years ago.

The session will be presented at 12:15PM in Room 318 on October 21, and again at 10AM in Room 318 on October 22.

If you are working in state, county or local city government and are interested in Lean and Agile, be sure to join us: the cost for attending is just one can of food, which will be donated to a food bank 🙂
