Personal Agility: Being Agile Starts with You The emphasis of agile has always been on the power of the team and the agility of the organization. However, we have skipped one important part: YOU as an individual! Being agile isn't about the processes or practices (we are just doing agile at that point) but about the shift needed in culture and mindset. The only way to change the culture is to take a human-centered approach by starting with ourselves first to understand our current beliefs and biases. During this session, participants will explore through a series of exercises how they currently embody the agile values and principles and where they struggle. Understand your own personal agility Understand the impact your agility has on how you operate within your teams and your organization Gain some new tools to support others in discovering their own personal agility and self-reflection

Bridging the Gap: Traditional to Agile Project Management Learn how a large cloud-computing enterprise used Flawless ExecutionSM, a remarkably scalable agile business framework, across diverse business teams including their Marketing Team, Legal Team, C-Suite and even the Sales Group functional teams that are notorious for avoiding agile methodologies. As part of a major merger, the company sought to unite two sales teams that were not strategically aligned and didn't have a customer-focused mindset. Just as agile methodologies help developers keep the customer at the forefront of the conversation, this sales organization used the agile techniques and practices of Flawless ExecutionSM, to align around the customer's needs, scale best practices, and shift the culture to a more customer-centric mindset. Result: after an abysmal first half in 2016, the team rallied together after implementing Flawless Execution as their process of record over the summer and beat their sales forecast by 17% in Q4. This had an impact on morale for the 22,000-person company and even increased the stock price by 10%. This and other IIL Learning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs.
