What you can expect

Forty-five minutes of real work, then your questions

Practical cases

Real improvement work rather than generic theory.

Experienced practitioners

Learn from people who actually led or delivered the work.

Evidence and results

See what changed and how the results were measured.

Live questions

Ask about the practical challenges behind the case.
Speak

Propose a session

Open to practitioners, academics and award entrants. The only requirement is a real case with evidence.

1

Propose

Send a title, the case in five lines, and the results you can show with numbers. Two hundred words is enough.

2

Review

A member of the Advisory Council reads it for substance and fit. Product sessions are welcome as labeled Solution showcases; a session with no benefit for the people who do the work is declined.

3

Schedule

We agree a Thursday, run a short rehearsal, and announce the session to registrants and on its own page.

Solution showcases

Want to show a solution at work?

Solution providers can show how their technology, service or expertise worked in a real operation. Every showcase needs a real deployment, a user on screen and measured results, and it is clearly labeled as a solution showcase.
