I have just posted my second blog of a planned series on topics in my new book.  This blog is titled: “Practice Slices and Patterns: A Better Way to Deploy Process Improvements”.   

Practice slices and patterns is a way to engage your practitioners in their own practice improvement which is a major goal of SEMAT and the Essence Framework.

You can also view a Youtube  video about practice slices and patterns at:

I am very interested in hearing feedback and stimulating discussion on the idea of practice slices and patterns.
