Lean Kanban North America 2013, part of the global conference series of the largest, highest quality Kanban events in the world, announces the final lineup of speakers for its management conference taking place April 28-May 2 in Chicago.
Organized by Lean-Kanban University (LKU), Lean Kanban North America is an international gathering of professionals who realize the value of Lean thinking. This year’s conference features the next wave of ideas on measurement, psychology of change, Kanban at scale, risk management, and core foundations of Kanban.
The event is for managers, developers, and change agents who value smart thinking, voracious learning, and constant improvement in the workplace. Attendees will meet and mingle with thought leaders, worldwide experts and Brickell Key Award winners who are the most-respected Lean and Kanban experts all sharing their knowledge under one roof.
Lean Kanban North America Keynote Speakers include:
Bob Lewis, opening keynote and InfoWorld columnist, will convey why “Everything You Know Is Wrong.” This entertaining and thought-provoking talk explains what’s so disastrous about standard models for running IT organizations. Lewis presents a compelling alternative that won’t just drive better results, for IT and for the business it serves, but will make the job of leading and working in IT more satisfying and enjoyable as well.
Douglas Hubbard, inventor of Applied Information Economics (AIE) and Chicago-based author of How to Measure Anything: Finding the Value of Intangibles in Business, will describe how it is possible to measure any “intangible,” to think of risk like an actuary, and how to look at investment portfolios from a risk/return point-of-view.
Stephen Parry is an international leader and strategist on the creation of service enterprises that are adaptive, innovative and engaging. This presentation based on the most recent research from work psychology will provide counter intuitive insights into the ‘industrial management’ mind set, its impact on the design of work and management behaviors.
Lean Kanban North America will feature nine renowned authors on the Main Stage, plus more than 40 invited speakers on six tracks that include Economics & Risk; Kanban at Scale; Kanban Foundations; Psychology & Sociology; Simulation, Games & Measurement; and The Change Agent.
In addition to the main program, LKNA13 authors, speakers and thought leaders will lead full-day Lean Tutorials – one-day or two-day interactive classes designed to provide participants with practical, hands-on knowledge they can use right away on Lean projects.
Attendees will also enjoy an additional 18 presenters with LKNA’s exciting and unique crowd-sourced Ignite talks that will drive the Lean Kanban conversation forward.
Conferences in the Lean Kanban global series provide unique training presentations and focus on helping IT groups within organizations to lower risk and improve predictability of delivery. For more information about the global Lean Kanban conference series endorsed by Lean-Kanban University, please contact Janice Linden-Reed, Lean-Kanban University Vice President of Marketing, at janice(at)leankanbanuniversity(dot)com.

RoyaltyFreeKings.com has been busy with major under-the-hood updates, in preparation for a steady stream of new royalty free albums and tracks. The considerable addition to the catalog includes a eclectic selection of new albums, including western film music, solo piano and epic orchestral trailer music, all aimed primarily at independent producers.
Several new releases include: ‘Wild Wild West’; a royalty free western music album featuring sweeping orchestral film music and brooding western acoustic soundscapes, ‘Moody Piano’; solo royalty free piano tracks aimed at independent dramatic films and perfect as music for a documentary; and ‘Epic Worlds 3’; modern royalty free epic music designed for use in trailers and promos.
March has brought about a recent new milestone for RoyaltyFreeKings.com: 800,000 plays through their demo player (powered by SoundCloud.com). In their first year, RoyaltyFreeKings.com has become known throughout the world as a source of quality music. Traffic to the website and sales of the library’s downloadable background music have steadily increased each month as producers from every corner of the world have learned of the music licensing website, and the strict quality control that runs through the entire catalog.
Alongside the new tracks and albums, a wide selection of free-to-use production tracks is also available to anyone working with a low to medium budget (US$ 250,000 or less per project). The music is immediately downloadable and ready to use. This complimentary background music section has proved to be very popular with students, educators and charities around the world. The range of styles and genres in the music given away by RoyaltyFreeKings.com include: epic dramatic orchestral, ambient piano, jazz, comedy, rock and suspense tension.
The mission of RoyaltyFreeKings.com since launching in 2012 has been to make searching for background music for video production incredibly easy and streamlined. The crowd-sourcing business model (where anyone can upload music), like that used by many competing royalty free websites, has the benefit of a rapid expansion of content. The downside is that with so many tracks being uploaded, the catalog easily gets bloated with mediocre music that does little to enhance a project, whether it’s a commercial, wedding video, film or webisode. Producers looking through these crowd-sourcing music licensing websites have to spend significant time sifting through vast collections to find something they’d actually want to use, or worse – settle for something inferior just because they don’t have the time to continue searching.
By hand picking each track, RoyaltyFreeKings.com only allows in music that meets a strict standard of musicality and production value. The growing catalog of hand picked tracks at RoyaltyFreeKings.com is produced by an international group of over fifty award winning composers, including a pop rock producer in Finland, a Nashville based folk and country expert, a heavy metal specialist in Italy, a renowned acoustic guitar artist in Hawaii and several well known trailer music composers. The high quality of tracks from these composers results is a streamlined shopping experience where producers can find, purchase and download the music they need within just a few minutes.
A guiding principle for RoyaltyFreeKings.com is fair treatment of their content suppliers. The composers who provide the carefully vetted music are given an equal share of the sales, before any discounts a customer might receive. This is in sharp contrast to many of its competitors, some of whom are offering far less – 40%, 35%, or in some cases just 30% of the sales to composers.
