This course will train you to respond quickly and efficiently if a fire breaks out in care homes and ensure the vulnerable occupants are evacuated safely out of the danger zone. The London Fire Brigade upon investigation came to the conclusion that 29% of the care homes had failures relating to fire doors within their premises, 10% had inadequate training for staff and managers and 14% had evidence of poor emergency planning or a potential lack of staff to implement emergency plans. Hence, it is significantly important for care homes to train their staff with the essential knowledge and skills to tackle any unfortunate fire events that may occur within the premises and implement emergency plans to mitigate the potential risks associated with fire. Upon successful completion of this Fire Safety Awareness Training Course, you will be able to work out effective evacuations and risk assessment plans to avoid injuries or even fatalities that can result in tragic incidents such as death.

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.

Innovation Simplified: Why Simple Wins Imagine what you could do with the time you spend drowning in mundane tasks like meetings, reports, and emails? Complexity is holding most of us back from creating an innovative culture that embraces really valuable work. Simplification is the solution, and every organization wants to know the techniques to help them eradicate complexity and get back to meaningful work that drives innovative change. Bodell inspires leaders and their teams to consider what it means to have an innovative company. It isn't about creating a culture of cool lounge areas with ping pong tables. More than anything, your culture will be predicated on the work people do every day. If your organization is mired in meetings, emails, and reports, then that is what your culture will be known for; but, wouldn't you rather be known as the company where people are engaged in truly meaningful work every day? Lisa gives you the tools to make this a reality. This and other IIL Learning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs.
