But Organizations remain poor at delivering value to customers!</p> <p>In order to help understand and think about this, Klaus Leopold created the Flight Levels model. We think about how work is delivered from three different altitudes:</p> <ul> <li>FL1 - <strong>Operational</strong> - where the work gets done.</li> <li>FL2 - <strong>Coordination</strong> - working together, managing dependencies and handoffs</li> <li>FL3 - <strong>Strategic Portfolio</strong> - organizational direction</li> </ul> <p>My biggest takeaway from this <a href="https://study.flightlevels.io/courses/introduction-to-flight-levels/">Introduction to Flight Levels</a> from Flight Levels Academy is that we need to visualise the situation at all three of the Flight Levels, not just <em>FL1</em>.</p>
