Lessons from the Phoenix Project: How to increase velocity and reduce risk

We did not invent brakes merely to stop cars. Change management is a process that is designed to increase change velocity and reduce risk. In this session, Kevin Behr, co-author of the best selling book, The Phoenix Project, will show that this key process area and associated rationale are a major determinant of organizational throughput and operational excellence. More people are frustrated with managing changes to their infrastructure and applications and often see the activity as annoying, or even worse, impeding progress.

All of our collective work results in change, so let’s get the most out of it by understanding that we designed brakes to allow us to go faster. Stop driving with your foot on the brake, and rather use those brakes to achieve a higher velocity of successful changes. You’ll walk away with key metrics that will illuminate the process, and the opportunity to self-reflect on how you are measuring change and progress.
