How often do you see a large group of people, many with exceedingly high pay checks, spending hours and hours in meetings looking for the “perfect” solution for a complex business problem? How often did these plans survive the reality test? Stop looking for a black cat in a dark room with no cat in it – and instead, learn how to take an empirical approach to solving complex problems.

Alexander (Sasha) Frumkin, Principal Agile Coach for Bank of the West, will talk about concepts from the Cynefin Framework created by David Snowden. In this session, Sasha will show you how to properly assess your situation by utilizing the five domains of the framework, and respond appropriately.

You’ll learn how to use the Cynefin Framework to categorize problems and decisions to avoid using the same decision making approach in all situations, encourage flexibility and adaptation when implementing Agile practices, and effectively manage your time as a leader to finally build an organization that successfully solves problems without ever wasting time.
