How can you avoid the temptation to engineer and control outcomes by manipulating the component parts of organizations business and process?</p> <p>Ola describes his nonlinear approach, where he combines Real Options, the Mikado Method, and evolutionary design to form a dynamic, diametrically opposite perspective to the familar linear management view.</p> <p>Presenter:</p> <p>Ola Ellnestam likes to combine people, technology and business which is best done with simple means and flexible processes. More than that he likes to share his knowledge and experiences because that’s how new insights are created according to him. Ola is a founder of Agical.se , a board member of the Agile Aliance, director of the Agile Alliance conference sponsorship program, and co-author (with Daniel Brolund) of The Mikado Method book.</p> <p>This event is free and is at Puppet Labs. It begins at 6:30 pm with pizza, sponsored by PNSQC (Many thanks to both Puppet Labs and PNSQC for supporting agile in Portland).</p> <p>The program starts at 7:00 pm.</p> <p>After the program you're invited to join us for a no-host gathering at a nearby brewpub for further discussion of agile fluency</p> <p>Also, on Thursday, April 19, join Ola for a one-day workshop on The Mikado Method</p> <p>For more information on the workshop, see: <a href="http://calagator.org/events/1250461927">http://calagator.org/events/1250461927</a></p> </div> <h3>Links</h3> <ul> <li><a class="url u-url" href="http://agilepdx.org">Website</a></li> </ul> </div>
