How Daring to Dialogue Improves Performance and Creates a Culture of Agility The single greatest predictor of success is the way we are having or not having conversations, and if we can learn to be more intentional in how we invite, cultivate, participate, and facilitate conversations there will not be any challenge that an organization cannot skillfully navigate in order to produce effective outcomes. But what if our conversations are stuck or ineffective? What if conversations break down instead of generating new collective thinking? We'll look at conversations and how to use the structure of the conversations to harvest the intelligence that already exists, and the daring role leaders play in creating a space for dialogue in order to greatly change the nature of the discourse. Key Takeaways include: Four actions that everyone can take to foster better conversations Understand the impact of monologue vs dialogue on culture Three ways for leaders to engage in better dialogue starting today

Building Data Science Products? Think Business First Modern machine learning libraries are both a blessing and a curse. Due to the ease with which the libraries can be used, most users (newbies and practitioners alike) focus too much on tools and techniques. We will discuss the high-level thinking process of coming up with a machine learning algorithm by asking a business question before even thinking about the tools or technologies.Learning Objectives We will discuss the high-level thinking process of coming up with a machine learning algorithm by asking a business question before even thinking about the tools or technologies. 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. Each professional development activity yields one PDU for one hour spent engaged in the activity. Some limitations apply and can be found in the Ways to Earn PDUs section that discusses PDU activities and associated policies. Fractions of PDUs may also be reported. The smallest increment of a PDU that can be reported is 0.25. This means that if you spent 15 minutes participating in a qualifying PDU activity, you may report 0.25 PDU. If you spend 30 minutes in a qualifying PDU activity, you may report 0.50 PDU.

What Leaders Need to Know About Unconscious Bias How many decisions have you made today that were driven by impulse or bias? If your answer is "none" or "very few," then two things are almost certainly true: you are human you are wrong. Every second, our brains receive more than 11 million bits of information, but our conscious minds can only process 40 bits per second. What this means is that most of the information that we take in from the world around us gets processed at a level below our conscious awareness. In this presentation, we will explore aspects of brain science related to bias, examining some of the more prevalent cognitive biases that exist. We will take a look at some of the shocking data around unconscious bias and investigate its impact in the workplace. Finally, we'll learn about the work that the most forward-thinking companies - like Google and Facebook - are doing to help their employees understand, recognize, and mitigate the effects of unconscious bias in the workplace.
