Workshops: Implementing your Outside-in Service Delivery Review (OI-SDR)

PLEASE NOTE: These workshop pages are no longer maintained. From the Agendashift Academy site please see instead these standalone workshops addressing different aspects of organisation development and deliverable by authorised facilitators and trainers alike:

Deliverable by authorised trainers only:

Assuming meaningful interest in the issues under consideration (i.e. “skin in the game”), they are suitable for participants of all levels of experience. Some stakeholder involvement may be valuable also.

If interested in holding any of the above workshops or hosting Leading in a Transforming Organisation as public training, Contact us.

I was asked in a meetup last night what I would do if I could implement only one thing. Five years ago, I might have answered with “Validation”; today, my answer is the OI-SDR. It’s a piece of deliberate organisation design, building in the strong organisational expectation that learning will be happening – learning about our customers and learning about ourselves. An opportunity for double loop learning. And to do it justice, you’ll soon be practicing validation anyway!
– Mike Burrows (blog.agendashift.com)

This 2-hour hands-on online workshop will get your team, product line, value stream, or organisational unit started with the [Outside-in Service Delivery Review (OI-SDR)], a strategic and Lean-Agile twist on the classic operational review meeting. Based on real experience in the UK government digital space, this key governance meeting is introduced in Agendashift: Outcome-oriented change and continuous transformation (2nd edition 2021), described in depth in Right to Left: The digital leader’s guide to Lean and Agile (2019, audiobook 2020), and referenced on this site in the Right-to-Left Strategy Deployment pattern.

By the end of this workshop you will be well on your way to implementing your own OI-SDR successfully. With that, you will be building into your organisation design some powerful expectations: that experimentation will always be happening, that the strategy will be advancing, that service will continue to improve, and that intelligence and insights will be shared – all of that in a structure specifically designed to create leadership opportunities and to cause misalignments to reveal themselves.

Workshop agenda:

  1. Thinking in circles:
    • Interlinked circles of responsibility
    • Concentric circles of alignment
  2. Metrics:
    • Performance measures
    • Health indicators
  3. Stories, hypotheses, and experiments:
    • Framing for maximum learning
    • Focussing for maximum leverage
  4. The nuts and bolts of the OI-SDR meeting:
    • Agenda:
      • Outside in (customer & environment first), then
      • Right to left (outcome first)
    • Protocols, participation, and preparation

This workshop is a natural companion to our transformation strategy workshops and outside-in strategy review workshops; accordingly it may be offered as part of a package. These workshops can be taken in either order or standalone:

  • The OI-SDR workshop as groundwork before stepping back to strategy, whether focussed mainly on delivery and ways of working (Applied and Deep Dive), on customer/product/service strategy (Impact!), or on strategy more broadly (Wholehearted:OKR)
  • The OI-SDR workshop as followup, establishing the infrastructure required to sustain the work agreed in a strategy review
  • The OI-SDR workshop on its own as an opportunity to improve the design of your organisational unit’s governance mechanisms, with a view to improving performance and alignment

By default, this workshop is delivered online for 3-8 participants from the same organisational unit – at least acquainted with each other if not close colleagues. However, of your needs differ from that, don’t hesitate to ask.
