Beyond One Happy Team: Self-Selection for a Better Culture The talent shortage is real. According to CareerBuilder research, 60% of US organizations today can't fill their open positions in 12 weeks or more. Combined with a high turnover rate, this leads to a massive loss of profit opportunities.How can we create a culture that attracts people and keeps them engaged, motivated, and well-jelled with their teams? And after they join, how do we build resilience into our teams and the organization? Empowering people to choose their own teams - a 'self-selection' - is a great vehicle to build happiness, resilience and a better culture.In this session I will share stories from running successful self-selection events in New York, Dublin and Chicago, and how I prepare technology teams and management for their first self-selection events. Participants will learn about the ingredients of successful self-selection and its positive effects on employee retention and company resiliency. They will leave this session with actionable steps, excited about their first self-selection experiment. 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.

Use Fast Feedback to Accelerate Business Agility w/ David Grabel Software engineers get feedback from their development environment and automated test suites in real-time. Errors can be fixed and verified in minutes. However, when organizations extend Agile beyond technology, feedback from stakeholders takes days and the 'feedback frenzies' can drag on for weeks or even months. Completing a story within a sprint seems impossible. It is time for 'the business' to dramatically reduce lead time and stop getting blamed for delays. This talk will show you how to quickly create a value stream mapping with your team. This map will expose needless delays and help you find ways to shorten cycle time to minutes, reducing overall lead time by 80% or more. It will include a way to overlay feedback loops on the value stream map, which can help you find the source of significant delays. You will also hear how creative teams are adapting mob programming techniques into their work in ways that build feedback into their processes in order to accelerate delivery from business teams.

Supply Chain and its Role in Branded Innovation Project Managers, Supply Chain Planners, and Technical Leaders are often faced with trade-offs for cost, speed, or innovation without a clear strategy of how to choose. The years of pushing products to the mass market every few years are over as consumers continue to be more demanding of their products and the brands behind these products. Innovation is rarely a straight line and the business leaders of the future need to know how to pivot when a roadblock appears. This session will introduce some basic strategies which are applicable to anyone who works in or with the supply chain at their company. You will learn how to develop a roadmap for supply chain capability, take strategic 'time-outs' from your daily work to assess risks, with your team and to recover quickly, and to align on key points of achievement. Additionally, you will learn some of Jonathan's strategies on how to keep our stakeholders informed, including sharing bad news, and how to continuously motivate teams during 2+ year programs.

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.

Lead with Joy! You won't get to joy by leading the way you always led. You, the leader, will need to make a change, serious change. In this talk, Rich will explore his own journey to joy, how he had to learn to lead in a completely different way, by doing so, witnessed results that exceeded his wildest expectations. In this talk, Rich will use this example and by analogy apply it to the human teams we are leading. The message is simple: when we finally understand the relevant principles (in flight, or in teams), we can fly to heights and distances that were previously unimaginable. Rich will take you on a journey of change and bring you to the place he is now ... that we stand at the vanguard of understanding what it takes to unleash the human potential of the people who work for us and around us. He will explain how the common, unchanging, disengagement statistics are a fundamental failure of leadership and what simple things we can do to get our teams off the ground and flying.
