DESCRIPTION:What alternatives are there to the predominant linear managem
 ent approach which relies on reductionism and the ability to predict. Ho
 w can you avoid the temptation to engineer and control outcomes by manip
 ulating the component parts of organizations business and process?&#13\;
 \n&#13\;\nOla 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 vi
 ew.&#13\;\n&#13\;\nPresenter: &#13\;\n&#13\;\nOla Ellnestam likes to com
 bine people\, technology and business which is best done with simple mea
 ns and flexible processes. More than that he likes to share his knowledg
 e 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 Ali
 ance\, director of the Agile Alliance conference sponsorship program\, a
 nd co-author (with Daniel Brolund) of The Mikado Method book. &#13\;\n&#
 13\;\nThis event is free and is at Puppet Labs. It begins at 6:30 pm wit
 h pizza\, sponsored by PNSQC (Many thanks to both Puppet Labs and PNSQC 
 for supporting agile in Portland).&#13\;\n&#13\;\nThe program starts at 
 7:00 pm. &#13\;\n&#13\;\nAfter the program you're invited to join us for
  a no-host gathering at a nearby brewpub for further discussion of agile
  fluency&#13\;\n&#13\;\nAlso\, on Thursday\, April 19\, join Ola for a o
 ne-day workshop on The Mikado Method &#13\;\n&#13\;\nFor more informatio
