(And the obligatory who are we)
Lets talk about flow
 What is it
 Signs of it
 Ways to get into it
 Challenges to staying in it
 What kills it
 What can managers do
 What managers shouldnt do
 Storming teams
@pnoreault @tara_knapp #LavaCon
Flow, aka the zone, is when a person
performs an activity and is immersed,
focused, involved, and happy.
Complete absorption in a task that
results in a lost of time. 
Perfect harmony doesnt feel like work.
@pnoreault @tara_knapp #LavaCon
Signs of no flow
@pnoreault @tara_knapp #LavaCon
Ways to get into flow
@pnoreault @tara_knapp #LavaCon
What
have you
done to
get and
stay in
flow?
@pnoreault @tara_knapp #LavaCon
Challenges to staying in flow
@pnoreault @tara_knapp #LavaCon
87 interruptions a day
Thats a lot of distractions
18% tasks never revisited
What a waste!
23 minutes to refocus
And a lot of time
@pnoreault @tara_knapp #LavaCon
Unplanned work - the silent
WIPflow killer
Get unplanned work into work flow!
@pnoreault @tara_knapp #LavaCon
The process
is easy
Let go Freedom Trust
@pnoreault @tara_knapp #LavaCon
Manager no-no list
 Micromanaging
 Not listening
 Not letting employees
fail
 Assigning unplanned
work
 Avoiding candid feedback
 Unclear goals and rules
@pnoreault @tara_knapp #LavaCon
Create your own flow
@pnoreault @tara_knapp #LavaCon
How to make
flow happen Fewer
Meetings
Shutdown
Email
Smaller
Chunks of
Work
Track
Results
Productivity
Set Rules
Flow
Small
Wins
@pnoreault @tara_knapp #LavaCon
Flow results
 Increased productivity
 Engaged employees
 Healthy debate
 Self -satisfaction
@pnoreault @tara_knapp #LavaCon
 Flow happens in bursts
 Flow needs a break
 Set your own flow
expectations
A flow break
Flowing right along
@pnoreault @tara_knapp #LavaCon
Storming teams
@pnoreault @tara_knapp #LavaCon
What did you
take away?
@pnoreault @tara_knapp #LavaCon
Thanks!
