Getting Lean: Creating a Culture of Quality
An important tenet of lean implementations is the notion of building quality in. This concept always receives universal head-nods when said aloud, but it can be challenging in practice. How can we actually start this transformation within our organizations? Daniel Slatton will walk through how his company has taken a culture-first approach to quality, stressing the importance of creating meaningful feedback loops, focusing on the specific language used, and constructing outcome-focused environments. He’ll show how these approaches can help your team to enhance its ultimate goal of delivering meaningful value to your customers.
Daniel Slatton spent the first five years of his adult life in the back of a van, playing drums for and managing a band on tours across the United States. Now a senior manager of quality engineering at Dialexa, Daniel seeks to apply what he learned in that environment, attempting to merge the occasionally adversarial mindsets of creativity and marketplace success to live and thrive outside the box. He is a quality enthusiast, testing advocate, and lean software development devotee who thrives on using creativity and curiosity to help teams consistently deliver value.
