Creating flow at Waters out of thin air
summary
Claim: small, low‑cost experiments with willing innovators create enterprise flow and measurable value. Uses Monte Carlo forecasting and internal scientist expertise, Cognitive Edge network maps to show information flow, and nested Miro boards plus OKRs to make priorities visible. Teams cut delivery risk from "six sprints" planning to a 10‑day sprint cadence in 12 weeks, deliver a first customer order from zero to one by end of 2021, and win an independent "analytic solution of the year" validation.
