Inspiring The Human-Centered Organization - Three Laws of Business Agility In his keynote, Steve Denning will take you along on his journey in which he first encountered the success of the agile approach in software development and witnessed how this innovative method slowly but surely became the norm in many large multinationals. As Steve got more involved in the agile method, he and other members of the SD Learning Consortium set out on a quest to find out what is real agile, and what is fake? What was successful, and what was not? They found that what was needed is an Agile Mindset. It's a different way of looking at, thinking about, understanding and interacting with the world. In relation to this mindset, they identified what he calls the 'Three Business Laws of Agile'. During his presentation, Steve will explain these laws in depth, helping you to understand how you too can adopt this Agile Mindset yourself.

The Science of Performance The concept of performance takes up a central place in our world. It is one of the key metrics in our lives and has a prominent place, even at an early age. It is considered in school, sports, relationships, work, and of course, projects. In this session, we'll leverage history, current events, experiential learning, and science to explain what performance is, what drives it, and most importantly, what that means for you and any person at work.
