Sprint to The Finish
2024 is going fast - are you ready for January?
There have been some great articles written this week on Flow Engineering, and they’re excellent reminders that we need to invest now in setting up January for a solid launch. Map out your most critical outcome, plan your strategy deployment, and consider risk management to improve your odds of success.
Practicalities of the VSRA: Outcome Mapping
By Stephen Walters
In our Bakers Unlimited example in the ‘How-to’ guide, slide 3 presents some of the issues the organization is having. An outcome map should translate those into the outcomes we wish to achieve.
Strategy Deployment and Flow Engineering
By Karl Scotland
Flow Engineering as Strategy Deployment
What particularly jumped out at me, was the following diagram, which shows the contribution of the maps to the elements of effective action.

Flow Engineering Leverages Complexity Science to Better Manage Risks
By Rob Bowman
The recently emerged Flow Engineering approach integrates Complexity Science to enhance the design and management of complex systems, particularly in environments where multiple variables interact dynamically. While Flow Engineering encompasses various techniques and methodologies aimed at enhancing flow within systems, it is best understood as an overarching approach rather than a singular method.
Increased Complexity in Today’s World
What Is Business Complexity?
More Tools Mean More Data Silos to Manage

Flow Engineering is a New Approach That Leverages Complexity Science
Key Aspects of Flow Engineering
New Year, New Site
It’s always a challenge to communicate focus, benefits, ideas and offerings in a web site, but we’ve tried to capture and convey all the key messaging that helps visitors get answers and inspiration to reach out for help with Flow Engineering.
Please have a look at our new site and let me know what you think! What do you like? What did we miss?
Voting is almost Closed!
Voting for the DevOps Dozen, Books Awards closes Dec 31st, 2024. Andrew and I are incredibly honored to be nominated for Best New DevOps Book of the Year (Question #2), and it would truly help Flow Engineering reach new audiences if you could take a minute to give us a vote if you haven’t already. In question #2, we are the final book listed [Flow Engineering, IT Revolution]. Thank you!!
Happy Holidays!!!
Wishing a very Happy Holidays to all of you celebrating this season! We’ll be staying local and spending some time with friends and family, likely eating too much, and doing some planning for 2025. We will be putting out one more newsletter this year, recapping 2024 and sharing a sneak peak of what we’re planning for next year. 🎄
