Deep dive session facilitated by Jean Tabaka and Ben Carey
We are passionate about systems thinking and design thinking as necessary "disciplines" in 21st century innovative companies. We believe Agile initiatives from the team level to the business level benefit greatly when we embrace a design thinking approach. We also believe in the value of whole systems thinking when engaging in Agile/Lean initiatives as well. To that end, we are delighted to bring two games to our Deep Dive session that reflect our passions.

Do you have a passion for experiential learning?
Do you use games as a learning tool, but haven't found the right game for a particular topic?
If you answered 'yes' to any of these questions, then this session is for you.

Programming used to be fun. Every problem was a new challenge and solving it stretched our creative and mathematical abilities. Now we do it nine to five every day, and we mostly solve the same kinds of problems over and over.
