TameFlow© - How Would You Like to Tame The Flow of Value?

    What is TameFlow©?

    "The TameFlow Approach is primarily about mindsets, attitudes, and Mental Models that support decision-making at all organizational levels. The "magic" of the TameFlow Approach is that it renders all decisions coherent, consistent, and aligned toward one direction, thus eliminating conflicts and instead focusing effort and energy on what matters. The TameFlow Approach is primarily a way of thinking! "Steve Tendon


    With the TameFlow approach, you can perfectly exploit leverage points to handle complexity in the VUCA world. Any complex scenario can be handled better if you place yourself in a position to identify leverage points that could help TameFlow the various flows in the dynamically changing environment. The TameFlow approach gives insights, methods, and tools to tame four different flows: 1) Operations, 2) Financial, 3) Information, and 4) Psychological.



    TameFlow the Operations Flow

    Executing any strategic initiative is and will always be a challenge, and it would be like tending frogs in balance and measuring their weight. Although artificial time boxes like iterations, sprints, PI Planning, etc., might be more effective than the traditional way of planning that could span over a year or more, these times boxes could still hamper the flow of value creation and flow of value to your end customers if the intent of time of the boxes is not clear. You would waste a lot of time in meetings that will only add value to your needs. 


    Can we find any better alternatives than artificial time boxes to tame the flow of value? Please explore this website for several insights and the TameFlow community page for insightful articles and podcasts.


    What would be the state of your execution when you could design your operations (development processes, as well) in such a way as to remove all artificial time boxes? Wouldn't you be surprised to witness the improvement in execution speed multiple times? Won't you aspire to have such a state of execution? Learn more about what kinds of insights we could provide based on your contextual situation to improve the flow of operations and product development processes.


    "The Operational Flow is the conventional "workflow" that determines how work moves through the organization. Raw materials are transformed into finished goods. Services are delivered through a succession of steps. Operational flow is measured using operational throughput ­ i.e., the rate at which goods or services are delivered to the market. TameFlow will produce substantial improvements in a company's operational flow by increasing flow efficiency, reducing flow times, and increasing throughput simply because all the "players" will have a shared understanding of the game and will all be playing according to the same rules. "- Steve Tendon and Daniel Doiron, Authors of Tame your Work Flow.


    TameFlow the Financial Flow with Throughput Accounting

    "TameFlow will train managers to think about Financial Throughput and give them new insights that will radically reshape their strategies for making money. By focusing on the rate of value generation, rather than on cost savings or the magnitude of profit alone, the organization's financial performance will increase significantly. " 


    "Financial Flow: How much wealth are we creating? Financial Flow is what determines how the organization generates money. "

    "Financial Flow is measured in terms of Financial Throughput. Financial Throughput: the rate (or "speed") at which an organization turns its products or services into profit (or other units of value). "

    -Steve Tendon, the author of The Book of Tame Flow.

    TameFlow the Flow of Information

    Knowing the right information, developing shared understanding, and aligning at all levels is always a challenge. Information scatter is the most common problem in all organizational systems. How would you like to handle this challenge of information scatter?


    "TameFlow will improve Informational Flow by establishing effective Patterns of Communication and Interaction and refining the organization's effective design and structure to better support the flow of critical information. The effectiveness of information flow is determined by the information sent to the right people at the right time. - Steve Tendon. The author of The Book of TameFlow

    TameFlow the Flow of Psychological Flow

    The Agility Mind believes that eighty percent or more of all challenges in any social organization stem from needing to understand people's human nature and psychology and designing the right structures to minimize those challenges. Thinking of popular terms like psychological safety will only become another amateur wish list if you don't have the capabilities to visualize and design the structures necessary for your development and operational processes, and most of those structures don't reside in RACI or traditional organizational structures. 


    By partnering with TameFlow Consulting Limited, The Agility Mind has developed enough capabilities to design and visualize structures needed to ensure a Psychological flow that will create value in your development processes and design the flow of value in your operations.


    We will use several models to design the right structure that will help provide a psychological flow in your teams and organizations.
