Discovery Kanban is a synthesis of a number of distinct threads of entrepreneurial thinking --Lean Startup, Kanban, OODA, PCDA, and Optionality--into an approach that helps firms address the challenge of executing and refining proven business models in parallel with exploring options for novel business opportunities. It fosters a management discipline of dual strategies of both exploitation and exploration, delivery and discovery that is applicable at different levels of scale in the organization.
In this presentation we will elaborate on the core principles of Discovery Kanban and some practical examples. We will show how (traditional) Delivery and Discovery Kanban are similar but different. We will discuss several examples of Discovery Kanban systems based on dual strategies and how they catalyze a different change in the organization. We will demonstrate how Discovery Kanban assists the discovery process and the integration of discovery and delivery at the different levels of scale.

Not just delivery against established
demand but also dealing with
uncertain demand
