Innovation and Collaboration Begin by Asking Why To tackle the complex challenges of today's digital environment, organizations are leveraging collaborative methods to foster business agility and create innovative solutions. Challenge mapping has emerged as a useful approach to enable innovation. It compels us to examine our preconceived beliefs and collaborate with a diverse network of people to solve critical problems. During this presentation, we walk through a creative process for solving problems and generating ideas in an uncertain environment. 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.
Dancing in the Moment with our Stakeholders We typically engage with stakeholders with a clear sense of what we want to achieve, and we can miss what is showing up in the moment. Jane will explore how, by remaining present to the now, we can use this space to explore and uncover hidden stakeholder expectations and concerns.

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.
