It's meeting every 15 minutes every day. Its job is to fix anything that's broken in the organisation, the same day or within a couple of days. That makes all the difference. We start the discussion around that. That's where you see things breaking down. And then, on the prioritisation side, we have this Meta Scrum. You say, people, what is this Meta Scrum? Well, the Meta Scrum is just the management, the product owners getting together and agreeing on implementing the product backlog that they can jointly agree on—and doing an app for the enterprise as a whole. And so the tip I would give is to get those pieces of Scrum at scale running. Key Takeaways1. Analyse what value are you or are you not creatingJeff mentioned that 30% of what most companies are creating delivers no value and could be stopped today. Within the organisations, I visit most people are flat out with not enough time in the day. This is a fast way to bring back focus on time. Jeff's story of what Steve Jobs did focusing the company on the right products and removing others when he came back to Apple as CEO was a great one.2. Increase decision speed.When Jeff mentioned that decision speed is a significant contributor to organisation success, I gained insight. When you are a small start-up organisation, decision speed is extremely fast. As you grow, many aspects of bureaucracy, poor systems and culture creep in that slows decision making speed. Scrum@Scale is a way to retain decision making speed and value focus as you scale.Thanks again for your time and knowledge Jeff, thanks for helping us create a better future.Links Brad is proud to support many Australian businesses.
