Kanban Compass

In the direction of team-driven change

About the Book

This book will take you through:

  • A story about an anti-Kanban team and their system discovery process.
  • Introduction to the basic concepts of Training from the Back of the Room (TBR) and Systems Thinking Approach to Introducing Kanban (STATIK).
  • My journey on how to redesign a STATIK workshop and maximize learning opportunities for attendees. 

Are you ready? Grab a pen. Taking notes and thinking about how you would do it yourself is highly recommended while reading. I left you some space for that too. Make the book your own! Over time, as your notes accumulate,  they will become a powerful learning asset for you. Don’t be shy. There are no bad ideas. 

IMPORTANT:

Learning is like planting trees. To follow my mission of continuous learning, I would like to plant one tree, each time someone buys the "Kanban Compass" book. Together we can learn so much together! If you leave your email while buying the book, I will inform you when I planted the tree in your name :) Read more about the TrillionTreeCampagine.

There's a popular Chinese proverb that says: “The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.”
