Leading into the Great Unknown: Generating the Precedence What do you do when there is no precedence? How do you lead a team whilst they are generating that precedence, whilst they live in that ambiguity? Within pharma drug development we are always trying to deliver medicines to patients in new ways, faster and more innovative ways, using new methodologies and technologies. Leading teams when they are constructing what will become 'business as usual' is a rollercoaster but one we must ride. 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 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.

Enhancing Project Management Rigor for Innovation I believe that everyone performs some type of project management in their day to day work activities. I am advocating that we take this to the next level at organizations and enhance our project management rigor to improve our innovation output and in the end produce devices, therapies and services to better serve our patients around the world. We know that project management positons will increase by nearly 20% in the United States over the next 10 years. We must be ready to improve the project management process to be ready for this increase. This and other IIL Learning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs.

Why Government Leaders Must Embrace Agile Agile is a pathway to innovation in many Government agencies. It is a response to challenges in Information Technology where traditional software development processes often did not yield expected results. This resulted in many projects exceeding budgets and timelines, and ignoring needed requirement changes. At its core, Agile is about priorities, placing individuals and interactions above processes and tools; working products above comprehensive documentation; customer collaboration above contract negotiation; and responding to change above following a plan. Leaders can embrace this approach to improve processing times, and coordination among development teams and users. This presentation provides practical steps on how leaders can better understand and support the innovation practices introduced by Agile.
