SMWCon Spring 2014/Using SMW to characterize a new hospital challenges

In the context of the planning and execution of the transition of a 3-sites merged hospitals into its brand new designed and built facility, SMW was implemented to facilitate the change process. SMW was used to help the teams and the organization to capture critical knowledge to help their transition towards their new facility. The presenters were at the forefront of the SMW implementation. In this case where the change magnitude for the operations and the whole organization were extraordinary, the presenters who were at the forefront of this work share their experience, lessons learned, and remaining questions. What are the critical things to put in place to ensure buy-in, motivation and confidence, in order to help teams adapt to an agile approach, prototyping and collective working to renew themselves?

 * Our story : how we got it started, where we got (paused) and how we got there
 * Lessons learned from the cultural challenge for a traditional vertical organization
 * Project management professionnal's perspective : some potentials for SMW in the context of projects

What we want to exchange about :
