STATIK Workshop: Systems Thinking Approach to Introduce Kanban

Q: What common mistakes should be avoided when starting with STATIK?

Copying existing systems: Each organization is unique; designing a Kanban system should be based on your specific context rather than replicating another’s. Static boards: Continuously evolve your Kanban board to reflect process improvements and changes. Neglecting lead time measurement: Tracking lead time is crucial for understanding and enhancing delivery performance. Overlooking evolutionary change: Implement changes gradually to allow the organization to adapt effectively.

STATIK stands for the System Thinking Approach To Introducing Kanban. You apply this approach to model and understand the business environment. The STATIK method focuses on collaborative workshops for practical analysis and creating Kanban systems. It also places much value on boards.

What is STATIK?

STATIK stands for Systems Thinking Approach to Implementing Kanban. It’s a structured method designed to help teams and organizations introduce Kanban by understanding their current systems and workflows.

Why is systems thinking important in Kanban implementation?

Systems thinking allows teams to analyze their workflows holistically, considering all interrelated components. This comprehensive view helps in identifying bottlenecks, inefficiencies, and areas for improvement, leading to more effective Kanban implementations.

What are the steps involved in STATIK?

The STATIK process typically involves the following steps:

Understand what makes the service fit for purpose for the customer
Identify sources of dissatisfaction with the current system.
Analyze the sources and nature of demand.
Assess current delivery capabilities.
Model the service delivery workflow.
Identify and define classes of service.
Design the Kanban system.
Socialize the design and negotiate implementation.

Is STATIK a one-time process?

No, STATIK is iterative. As teams evolve and workflows change, revisiting the STATIK steps ensures that the Kanban system remains aligned with current needs and continues to drive improvements.

Can STATIK be applied to non-IT industries?

Yes, while STATIK originated in the IT sector, its principles are applicable to any knowledge work domain. Any organization aiming to improve workflow efficiency and service delivery can benefit from STATIK.

How does STATIK differ from other Kanban implementation methods?

STATIK emphasizes a deep understanding of existing systems and workflows before implementing Kanban. This approach ensures that the Kanban system is tailored to the organization’s specific context, leading to more sustainable improvements.

What common mistakes should be avoided when starting with STATIK?

Copying existing systems: Each organization is unique; designing a Kanban system should be based on your specific context rather than replicating another’s.
Static boards: Continuously evolve your Kanban board to reflect process improvements and changes.
Neglecting lead time measurement: Tracking lead time is crucial for understanding and enhancing delivery performance.
Overlooking evolutionary change: Implement changes gradually to allow the organization to adapt effectively.

Is STATIK replacement to KSD?

The STATIK Workshop is not meant to replace the KSD course and cannot be treated as an alternative to the KSD. KSD remains a separate course and is essential to obtaining a KMP credential.

What does STATIK workshop focus on?

The STATIK Workshop is a standalone deliverable that introduces key concepts of the Kanban Method. It is appropriate for those new to Kanban, and serves as a natural upsell to the KSD course. For KSD alumni, it also provides a valuable next step (before KSI or KDI attendance), offering a deeper dive into each of the STATIK steps.
