Flight Levels Day
Work Systems Ecocycles – How Kardex Continuously Refines Focus
Flight Levels Day 05 Talk by: Thomas Krause, Christoph Speyerer
Work systems are not static entities; they evolve continuously in response to external and internal triggers. While we often talk about a "take-off" moment, in practice, work system evolution is less of a singular launch and more of an ongoing journey.
This talk is based on real-world experience, reflecting what we`ve learned working with an engineering company. We will start by sharing concrete examples from this environment, highlighting challenges, breakthroughs, and lessons learned. These real-world scenarios will serve as a foundation for understanding the conceptual aspects of Work Systems Ecocycles.
By integrating Flight Levels thinking, Dynamic Reteaming, and systemic change principles, participants will leave with practical strategies to foster adaptability and sustain continuous value delivery.
