2023 VSM Summit: Delivering Secrets to Transformation Success

The need for digital transformation hasn’t gone away. While much has changed in the past few years, transformation remains a strategic imperative for most organizations. However, while many have made strides in their journeys, most continue to confront significant obstacles. Are lack of staffing, budget, and resources the issue? Most often, they are not. Fundamentally, the core issue is not a lack of resources; it’s a lack of alignment between those resources – teams, funding, and tools that are already in place.

Consider that a recent survey underscored the persistence of an age-old disconnect. The research found that more than two-thirds of respondents (68%) said their businesses continued to be plagued by silos between software development and business strategy. The findings from this survey are now available in our 2023 Value Stream Management Trends report.

These statistics highlight the reason why adding more people or technologies doesn’t solve the problem – it exacerbates them.

The Promise of Value Stream Management

As teams look to improve their transformation initiatives, Value Stream Management (VSM) is emerging as the best approach.

With VSM, teams can overcome many of the most significant obstacles that are stifling their digital transformations. VSM enables teams to be more fully aligned around what really matters: delivering value to customers. By optimizing alignment, VSM enables teams to maximize the value that gets delivered. That’s why so many are moving to VSM. In fact, according to the same survey, 86% of organizations plan to adopt VSM or have already done so.

Announcing Our Third Annual Value Stream Management Summit

While many are clear on the benefits of VSM, what isn’t clear is how to realize this potential. Broadcom leads the industry by hosting annual Value Stream Management summits to help teams successfully navigate these journeys.

On April 26, 2023, we’re holding our third annual event.

Here are four reasons you don’t want to miss this year’s VSM Summit:
