Reaching New Heights in Project Management Climbing Mount Everest is considered one of mankind's greatest feats of human endurance. The two-month quest to reach the highest point on earth is a project filled with unparalleled challenges and some of the roughest and most extreme conditions imaginable. Alan Mallory embarked on the adventure of a lifetime and set a world record along with four members of his family after an incredible self-guided expedition on the mountain. The expedition challenged the mental, emotional and physical limits of their entire beings and at every stage of the ascent demanded an unwavering commitment to resilience and perseverance. Alan's keynote is a gripping and informative presentation that is supported by many of the stunning photos and short video clips.

Inspiring The Human-Centered Organization - Three Laws of Business Agility In his keynote, Steve Denning will take you along on his journey in which he first encountered the success of the agile approach in software development and witnessed how this innovative method slowly but surely became the norm in many large multinationals. As Steve got more involved in the agile method, he and other members of the SD Learning Consortium set out on a quest to find out what is real agile, and what is fake? What was successful, and what was not? They found that what was needed is an Agile Mindset. It's a different way of looking at, thinking about, understanding and interacting with the world. In relation to this mindset, they identified what he calls the 'Three Business Laws of Agile'. During his presentation, Steve will explain these laws in depth, helping you to understand how you too can adopt this Agile Mindset yourself. This and other IIL Learning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs. Some titles, such as Agile-related topics may qualify for other continuing education credits such as SEUs, or CEUs.
