I did my first ignite talk at LeanKanban North America 2014 in San Francisco. My topic was “Visibility is my superpower! (how visibility and transparency alone can solve problems and keep you from focusing on the wrong things).

transparency is making that information available to othersvisibility is having information
visibility & transparency are two sides of the same coin
like water, our minds fill the gaps… but with assumptions
allow diagnosis of the problem before determining the solution
gaining visibility turns “I feel” into “I know”
false escalation obscures true emergencies
even ambulances have a WIP limit
transparency allowed us to work together
things are gonna change „round here!
“A lack of transparency results in distrust and a deepsense of insecurity” - Dalai Lama
lack of transparency can also create unhappy customers
sometimes really, REALLY unhappy customers
inspect the situation to gain visibility
extreme honesty was key for me
people crave visibility, so be transparent
in the end, they had to see to believe, had to believe to trust
