Kanbanizing your Business Agility

In the presentation, he used a real work-in-progress Kanban implementation and its flight level in the areas of product service systems and data analytics. The talk emphasizes the "flight level" as a tool that enables businesses to think and interact collaboratively at various levels of a firm using efficient Kanban boards to achieve end-to-end business agility throughout the organization.
