Conscious Grateful Leadership The 5 C's are the foundation of Grateful Leadership, and #1 is Consciousness. This presentation focuses on Conscious Grateful Leadership as a purpose-driven practice, leading to engagement, initiation and retention. It is adopted by business leaders who are willing to be or to become aware-through their own consciousness, mindfulness, vulnerability and authenticity - of the unique attributes and contributions of all team members and to express their appreciation for these as merited. 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.

Real-World Use Cases for AI In this session, we'll look at the impact of several recent developments in Artificial Intelligence (AI) including the areas of computer vision, language understanding, and reinforcement learning on our ability to more effectively carry out projects. We'll also dive into real-world use cases where these breakthroughs are being applied to improve our ability to get things done through better communication and collaboration, information processing, and decision making.

Manage Expectations Before They Manage You! Manage Expectations Before They Manage You! The first rule of managing expectations is to know what they are. Since many expectations are unvoiced (and sometimes not even known by those with the expectations!) the project manager may find that the otherwise successful results of a project fail because someone's expectations were not met. This session presents techniques for exposing and managing those unvoiced and deadly expectations. This and other IIL Learning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs.

Risk Magic! How to Deal with Unknown Risk Many of us have taken on the challenge of better managing risk on our projects. That was a good start and we have since improved our risk management capabilities. Now we are being told that we should also manage unknown risk. If the risk really is unknown, how are we supposed to do that-with magic? Join this session for a fun look at the impossible. This and other IIL Learning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs.

Complexity Dimensions that Impact Projects By attending this session you will be able to learn how to differentiate complex from complicated and understand the 15 complexity dimensions obtained through a multi-industry survey, case studies and interviews with experts and practitioners. We will also share how the traditional cost estimation process is limited when dealing with complex projects, and finally see a proposed model that would support cost estimators dealing with complex projects.

Managing Risk on Agile Projects Most often, Agile training is focused on the team. While this is obviously a core concept, we tend to spend less time talking about how to manage the work. Without planning risks and dependencies, a well-formed team will quickly find itself mired in impediments, ultimately killing productivity. This session is a discussion of the built-in risk management capabilities of Agile, plus some additional practices we can use to manage and mitigate project risk.

Humble Leadership: Servant Leadership in Practice With traditional project management, we've become accustomed to a 'command and control' leadership style.
