Lean Portland

Network with other process improvement practitioners and those  working to improve the nonprofit and public sector to improve society

Join fellow Continuous Improvement practitioners at Lean Portland 3rd Annual Virtual Unconference. The goal for this virtual event is to bring together like-minded people interested in helping nonprofits, NGOs, government agencies and public sector organizations apply Lean and other process improvement methods (Lean Impact, Lean Startup, Continuous Improvement, Toyota Production System, Six Sigma, TQM, Kata, etc) to have greater positive impact to people and the environment.U﻿nconference Theme: Lean for Social GoodAn unconference is a &quot;participant-driven&quot; event that avoids traditional aspects of a conference, such as pre-determined sponsored presentations and top-down organization. The agenda and topics are created by attendees at this unconference. Any attendee can suggest topics that they are passionate about relating to the theme of this unconference. Prepare by bringing topics that you want to discuss in group sessions.About the eventWe will get started by introducing the concept of the unconference (open space) principles and explain our agenda for the session. Attendees will be encouraged to suggest a topic for discussion. Topics are agreed upon by participants and assigned into sessions (multiple topics within each session, like a regular conference). Attendees decide on which discussions they want to participate in and are able to move freely between breakout rooms. Each session will last about 30 minutes using Zoom breakout rooms for each topic. We will have 3 different sessions (about 90-100 minutes of total discussion). Therefore, you will get to choose from 15-20 topics during this unconference, so chances are good that you&#x27;ll find something interesting.This event will not be recorded, as the breakout sessions are where all the learning and discussion will take place, so please plan to attend live!Learn more about unconferences at <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unconference" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unconference</a>Read our Community Agreement for Open Space events: <a href="https://leanportland.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Lean-Portland-Community-Agreement-for-Open-Space-events.pdf" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://leanportland.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Lean-Portland-Community-Agreement-for-Open-Space-events.pdf</a>Event Sponsors:Continuing with the &quot;participant-driven&quot; theme, the Unconference is also &quot;participant-funded&quot;.
