Enterprise Services Planning (ESP) is a framework of tools that leaders of 21st Century knowledge-work enterprises can apply to their strategic and capacity planning. ESP is often described as the equivalent of MRP for a professional services business. Such businesses employ many educated professionals, who think for a living, perform largely invisible work, and deliver mostly intangible products and services to customers.
Such businesses are increasingly exposed to VUCA - the conditions of volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity. It is often futile, under such condition, to plan specific results, deliverables, and milestones. The VUCA reality quickly tosses such plans out of the window. Does this sound like your enterprise? ESP can help! What you can do is, plan the capacity of your services to sense, respond and deliver the right levels of service that meet customers' purpose. You can plan the mechanisms of feedback to keep your network of services balanced and capable to execute your strategy. You can plan to avoid risks your enterprise can't take and to manage the risks it chooses to take. That's what we mean by "planning."
ESP complements the delivery capabilities generated by Kanban "from the middle" and agile approaches "from the bottom up" and connects them "at the top" with the models and tools you need to manage on enterprise level.

Alexei Zheglov - he is one of the key contributors to ESP and has more experience applying and teaching it than anyone except the ESP originator David J Anderson. Alexei is a co-author of the new business book, Fit-for-Purpose: How Modern Businesses Find, Satisfy & Keep Customers.
Participants receive standard Kanban University (KU) certificates of completion.
The ESP workshop approach is not to impart large bodies of knowledge or complicated process solutions for you to implement. Instead, we bring in stories and exercises to give you many opportunities to reflect and discover options for what you could be managing differently and better in your enterprise. As a result, you get pragmatic, actionable guidance you can implement in your organization next week.
Most likely, 2 sessions per week, starting in late July. The session length not to exceed 3 hours. Each session will likely cover approximately 2 of the 20 modules (see the ESP syllabus below).
The online participants are located in three clusters of time zones: the Americas, Europe/Africa, and Asia/Pacific. The one-schedule-fits-all approach is impractical. It will be the middle of the night somewhere, always. We plan to repeat each session twice and give people in each geographical zone convenient time in the morning or evening. We're working out the details right now.
We plan to start in late July 2020, give or take a week - coordinating with the registered participants, input from the new participants welcome.
