Modern Agile: Discovering Better Ways to Be Awesome Genuine agility is enormously effective in helping us achieve our dreams. The trouble is, Agile has grown into a complex tangle of roles and rituals, frameworks and tools, processes and certifications. We need a return to simplicity. Modern Agile is here to help.Designed for people in many domains (not just IT), Modern Agile is defined by four guiding principles: Make People Awesome, Make Safety a Prerequisite, Experiment & Learn Rapidly and Deliver Value Continuously. Understanding and deeply practicing these four principles will help you get better results faster.In this talk I'll share how these four (principles power world-famous companies and how they can help you work with greater speed, simplicity, safety and success.

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.

Managing Agile and Waterfall Projects: A Hybrid Approach With the growing interest in Agile approaches, how can we take a measured approach? Organizations can't just simply drop everything to become 100% Agile. Not only are hybrid approaches acceptable, they are common in transitioning organizations. We need to understand the strengths and weaknesses of both the traditional and Agile methods to find the best combination that gives us the best of both worlds. This presentation will cover how to combine both approaches into a hybrid model, and help you understand the general criteria of how one approach would be chosen over another.Learning Objectives This presentation will cover how to combine both approaches into a hybrid model, and help you understand the general criteria of how one approach would be chosen over another.

Project Manager's Journey: From 'Doing' to 'Leading' Many of us are 'accidental' project managers. Project management may not be the profession we dreamed of as we were growing up. Most likely we stumbled into it. You may have been asked to manage projects in your organization, because you have shown superior technical skill. Ironically the skill that got you where you are today as a project manager is not what will take you where you need to go in this position. Now you are not 'doing' project work per se any more but 'leading' it. This presentation walks you through the leadership journey you go through as a project manager. It focuses on the skills you must master for this journey. It illuminates the transformation you must make from a 'doer' to a 'leader.'

Building and Scaling a Data Science Culture As your data and AI teams scale from one to thousands of employees, you will encounter roadblocks along the way. From handling messy data to productionization and customer adoption, these obstacles can delay or even derail otherwise strong teams. Drawing on experiences gleaned from hundreds of clients, Michael Li presents a framework that successful companies have embraced to build and scale their data teams. The talk goes over how organizations progress along three maturity curves: Analytical, Operational, and Organizational. As enterprises strive to move along each of these maturity curves, they must solve various organizational challenges and develop new capabilities and skills in order to become data-driven organizations. We will provide key takeaways for managers and executives for each step of the maturity curves. This and other IIL Learning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs.

We Don't Make Servers ...We Make Services: Implementing and Managing IT Services Implementing and Managing IT Services Being a service provider demands knowledge of who the customer is, what you as a provider offer customers (services), and assurance that those services provide value. Customers care about quality of service (e.g. the meal), and generally have little concern about the origin or performance of the ingredients that make it up (e.g. who does the maintenance on the grill). This session will discuss the concept of IT Service Management (ITSM), being a service provider, and the associated challenges, risks and critical success factors. You will learn about the importance, benefits and challenges of implementing and managing a formal IT Service Management (ITSM) practice for your IT organization and, ultimately, your company.

Growth is a Thinking Game As we learn from the times and think forward, there are a lot of actions we can take to ready ourselves, our businesses, and our customers for growth. The great reset isn't a new normal. It's a shift in our mindset that pushes us to pause and reflect on the past, respond to the present, and rethink the future. What can we control? Our attitude. Our actions. What can we do together to get back to growth? Energize our teams. Set a clear direction. Get closer to our customers.
