The Journey of Leadership: Lessons from Relationships, Foundations and Failures For over thirty years Ed Hoffman was responsible for designing, developing and implementing an integrated system of learning, engagement and building expertise in the execution of complex NASA projects. Appointed to establish a Program Project Management Initiative shortly after the Challenger disaster, Dr. Hoffman would spend thirty-three years at NASA, founding the NASA Academy of Program Project and Engineering Leadership (APPEL), and serving as the first NASA Chief Knowledge Officer (CKO). Typically, there are questions of what lessons have been learned from a long career. This presentation will be a simple sharing of a few personal stories and seeking to understand leadership from the lens of important patterns. Leadership is a journey that offers constant possibilities for self-awareness and gaining knowledge. This talk will be a personal sharing of real stories and an exploration of the leadership journey.

Some limitations apply and can be found in the Ways to Earn PDUs section that discusses PDU activities and associated policies.

The PM and Enterprise Connection: How Project Managers 'Connect the Dots' Project/program management requires a number of soft- and hard-skills. One of the most critical skills for the PM to bring to an initiative is the ability to connect on multiple fronts. The most successful initiatives are those where the PM is skilled at connecting people, concepts, processes, and practices. Joanna Durand, Managing Director at Citi, Chair of the Citi Program Management Council and head of the Citi Global Program Management Office, will talk about the project and program manager's critical role as a 'connector.'

The Innovator's Mindset What makes a person an innovator? The key differentiator is their mindset. Practicing certain skills can improve your innovative possibilities. Innovators build on their area of expertise; they are prepared. They often have a deep understanding of a field - but this does not confine their thinking - it provides a strong foundation to build, experiment, and learn. They start with a 'blank slate', observing, curious, questioning, digging deeper, broadening horizons, seeking diverse intersections, seeing the possibilities. Extreme paradigm shifts occur when diverse intersections occur serendipitously, resulting in discovery and value creation. The future is unpredictable; however, we can be prepared for a future unlike today by having an innovator's mindset. This and other IIL Learning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs.

Data Done Right - The Value of Good Communication Wouldn't it be great if you could see important textual and graphical information quickly and easily? What if it could be updated automatically or by using a simple refresh? What if you could easily change that information as needed, or see it right now with tools you already have, on multiple devices? In this presentation we will show you all of those things. You'll see reports that are produced in MS Project and MS Excel, graphical reports in Visio, and a dashboard that uses all of these tools. And we'll top it off with a discussion about what information to present and not present. This and other IIL Learning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs.

Design Thinking for a Circular Economy Design Thinking for a Circular Economy The most critical and complex problem of our age is how to create a robust economy that is sustainable for all future generations. Design Thinking is a revolutionary and practical methodology, with principles and processes that help people approach complex problems and create collaborative, innovative, and human-centered solutions for Sustainability. The Circular Economy utilizes restorative and regenerative methodologies like 'cradle to cradle' and 'biomimicry' to reshape how we do business, while fostering robust equitable economies. In this dynamic presentation, we will explore how the Circular Economy depends on Design Thinking in order to re-think and re-make our systems and products with an understanding of our Value chains as Material flows. When we create an economy that is just for all, and that fits into our ecological system as opposed to ecology bending to our economy, then we can produce a future that is Sustainable for all.

Re-imaging the World´s Economic Data Remember the "Kodak Moment?' It was a term in photography popularized by Kodak to capture important moments. Well, right now there is a Kodak Moment going on in healthcare information sciences. It is associated with the attribute-based data structures that are the basis for the revolution in genetic diagnostics, clinical risk management, and personalized medicine. It is also the foundation and source of the advances in Big Data and Artificial Intelligence in healthcare. In this session, you will learn about a new innovation in business information management called the Locus Model and a new type of business information system called the Functional Information System (FIS). These important innovations have the potential to impact all data management in business, finance, and economics by introducing a universal standard that can unify the disparate systems in disparate countries that we currently use to classify and organize business, finance, products or job information.
