ADapT gives you the skills to strategise, design, build and scale digital products and services appropriate for the digital age.
The EXPAND Digital Implementer Masterclass is a practical emersion into the ADapT model, using LEAN, AGILE and other data-driven techniques to implement innovative ideas, ensuring that the organisation's success is scaled, and where improvement is needed, that immediate action is taken.
EXPAND focuses on operationalizing and eventually commoditizing new and innovative products and services, and how these can be sustained and supported. EXPAND also aims to create an understanding of how the organisation can further improve operationally.
A fundamental precept in EXPAND is measurement and analysis and ADapT advocates data-driven (objective) decision making. The aim of EXPAND is not only quality delivery and optimized operations, but using these as a foundation to SCALE at an ever increasing pace!
Theory and techniques are covered to enable delegates to effectively practice and implement what they have learnt.
