Course Agenda
The morning of the first of three days will be used to establish the overall context of the system modeling activities which follow. This will be done through a small amount of lecture, combined with both small and large group discussions.
Once the stage is set, we will transition to thoughtful analysis of the impact of different organizational design decisions on adaptability and value delivery using system modeling. Following each incremental framework agnostic advance in our understanding, we will map concrete aspects of LeSS into our increasingly enlighted understanding of organizational system dynamics. The system modeling brings deeper insight, while mapping this insight into LeSS facilitates better retention along with an understanding of how to act on what is being learned.
We will continue to incrementally advance our depth of understanding using system modeling for the majority of the three days. Towards the end of the third day time will be spent: coalescing the whole of our enhanced understanding, providing guidance on how to move forward, and orrienting participants on how to navigate a wealth of additional information.
DAY 1: Setting the Stage
The first of three days will be used to establish the overall context of the system modeling activities which follow. This will be done with a small amount of lecture, but primarily via small and large group discussions and exercises. We’ll follow this thread through the entire 3-day event.

- Managing Cognitive Fullness
- Requirement Area Sizing Considerations
DAY 3: Modeling decisions through Systems Modeling & LeSS
As we continue to advance our depth of understanding using system modeling, the third day will be spent coalescing the whole of our enhanced understanding, providing guidance on how to move forward, and orienting participants on how to navigate a wealth of additional information.
- Product Breadth and Adaptability

Where
Expected Venues:
I will not formally bind the event hotel space contract until enough people have signed up for the course to exit pre-registration. Once that happens I will concurrently lock-in the venue and process all credit cards on file.
I have detailed event venue pricing information from both of the hotels above. Each of these are large enough to have multiple event spaces capable of supporting the class.
If for whatever reason both of these venues fall through, there are several similar 5-star luxury beach resorts near them.
With an increasing amount of interest from within the Da Nang engineering community, I will try to select a 5-star luxury beach resort which is closer to the Da Nang airport and downtown if possible. This won’t matter for people who are traveling, but it will for local attendees who wish to sleep at home each night.
The preferred options above are just two of the luxury event hotels in the area.
- The first two photos above are from the Shilla Monogram Quangnam Danang.
- The third photo is from the VinPearl Resort & Golf Nam Hoi An.
Travel Logistics
- The Danang airport has direct flights to a large number of destinations within Asia.
- Danang is easily and inexpensively accessed by train from both Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi as well as by air.
- Soft sleeper prices on the Reunification Express trains
- Hanoi->Danang: USD$38 (1,137,000 VND) each way
- HCMC->Danang: USD$45 (969,000 VND) each way
- By Air
- HCMC <->Danang: USD$85 (2,154,750 VND) round-trip economy
- Hanoi <->Danang: USD$102 (2,585,700 VND) round-trip economy
- Soft sleeper prices on the Reunification Express trains
- The resort hotels typically provide transportation to/from the airport. When purchasing your hotel room, you will likely see an option to include an airport transfer in the room fee. The Da Nang aiport (DAD) and train station are very close to each other and presumably billed the same as an airport transfer.
Electronic Visa
Vietnam has visa on arrival for some countries, and requires an electronic submission ahead of time for others.
One of many places you can check the requirements is CIBT Visa Central.
Here is one of many YouTube videos which explain the visa requirements. This is video is produced by iVisa, which is a competitor to CIBT.
There are lots of YouTube videos which explain what you will need. Here is one of many such videos I found with a quick search.
Vietnam wants you to visit and spend money, so none of this hard. Just make sure to take care of it ahead of time.
Language
The course will be presented in English.
It is possible to create a bi-lingual version of the course if one of the sponsoring companies is willing to help out with the translation efforts. I have done something similar in Spanish.
Meals
Lunch is included in the price of the course.
