Description
19 – 20 May 2026 in Rotterdam, Netherlands
A Day of Knowledge Sharing with Rapid Learning Cycles Professionals
Including Pre-Conference Workshops:
Morning Session — From Learning Cycles to Execution Cycles: The Transition from Early to Mid and Late Development
Deliverables, gate reviews, CAD models, test plans, system prototypes and more are all essential to the product development process by documenting and sharing the full set of decisions necessary to take a product into production.
This pre-conference workshop pulls together our most recent experiences with integrating the “just do it” work of product development into the Rapid Learning Cycles framework to build integrated, action-oriented plans, without losing the critical shift from “doing” to “learning” that drives acceleration through better decision making.
You’ll learn when and how to integrate these so-called “execution tasks” into your Learning Cycles plan (and when you shouldn’t), how to handle the transition from concept to feasibility to design, and how to use an Agile Integration Train to coordinate when it’s time to move out of the lab, and into production.
Afternoon Session — How to Write Better Key Decision and Knowledge Gap Reports
In this workshop, we’ll work with you to write better Key Decision and Knowledge Gap reports. You will work on a small project of your own choosing, which may be personal or professional, in a small group. We’ll cover:
–How to strengthen your Key Decision or Knowledge Gap question
–How to write a strong Purpose Statement that builds credibility for your recommendation
–How to use charts, graphs, images, etc. more effectively to illustrate your learnings
–How to write a solid recommendation and socialize it with decision makers.
You’ll leave with a model report and a review checklist that you can use to work with your teams to improve their Key Decision and Knowledge Gap reports to support real-time knowledge capture and stronger decision making.
