Effectively Leading, Managing, Working With Millennials Based on Karl's forthcoming book, this talk will focus on the how the worldview of Millennials is considerably different than that of Boomers or Generation X. In the U.S. and many other countries, Millennials are now more than half our workforce and are getting into middle management or higher roles. We need to understand them and how to lead/manage in the way they want to be worked with. By understanding their worldview or mindset, we can better understand where they are coming from and how to work more effectively with them. This talk provides six key messages on how to be a better manager/leader for Millennials. This and other IIL Learning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs.

Operational Excellence Across 3 Critical Spheres Having worked in just about every corner of the world, Dr. Zeitoun has seen firsthand how challenging it is for organizations to achieve operational excellence in the midst of uncertainty. Reflecting on the opportunities he has had working across the globe, Dr. Zeitoun will explore a model for operational excellence that supports a foundation for creating a dynamic, high agility environment poised to deal with the ever-increasing pace of change.The model consists of three critical spheres or enablers: process autonomy, digitally capable people, and agile delivery-focused governance. A fast and delicate balance is needed between the spheres, and each has its own individual gauge and impact. These spheres also have an integrated effect, as they work in tandem to achieve a higher excellence scale and shape the way we work into the future.

Achieving Hypergrowth with DevOps OKRs OKRs (Objectives and Key Results) as a framework for defining and tracking objectives and their outcomes is now widely adopted by companies of all sizes, within multiple industries: Google, Adobe, Amazon, Facebook, Dell, Microsoft, Siemens, and Samsung, to name a few. Product OKRs allow for alignment in product development and delivery, Marketing and Sales OKR support driving the buying process via distribution channels, and Customer Service OKRs ensure that customers receive the support they need. All OKRs are important and interdependent in a cascading, objective-setting environment; however, DevOps OKRs play a special role. They boost customer satisfaction, revenue, productivity, and many other key results exponentially, thus allowing a company to achieve the next level of business objectives. In this talk, we will review why this is happening and discuss how to make it happen. This and other IIL Learning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs.

VPMMA: Building Our Future Project Management Workforce A tremendous project management talent pool exists but is unknown to many: Since every mission or exercise a military leader is tasked with is a temporary endeavor expected to produce unique goods, services or results, this means they have a significant amount of project management experience.An estimated 58% of the 250,000 service members that transition back into the civilian workforce each year are military leaders, i.e. high enough rank to be consistently tasked with projects, meaning we could consider an additional 145,000 experienced individuals a year for our project management roles! However, these PM candidates lack context about the civilian project environment, which presents a unique opportunity for mentorship, professional development and placement of these talented, experienced, proven project managers.Since January 2018, a collaboration between two project management companies has matched experienced PMs from industry with Military and Veteran PMs entering the profession, with astounding results! In just over a year, the Veteran Project Manager Mentor Alliance (VPMMA) has attracted 200+ participants across 29 states and 5 countries, and built partnerships with industry leading organizations such as Arizona State University, International Institute for Learning, Sensei Project Solutions and PM Master Prep.

Driving Business Agility as a Leader at Scale Today's fast-paced business world demands leaders that can adapt to market demands and capitalize on opportunities. In a start-up mode or innovation lab, this seems possible. In a large, multi-national organization... not so much.Leaders get accused of being part of the frozen or pressurized middle where they have potentially unrealistic expectations from above. They can be viewed as overly bureaucratic or 'command and control' from the agile teams they work with. The reason is a mismatch between the tools and thinking of traditional management and the problem space of business agility. Come and see how to thrive as a leader in this new paradigm and the tools that can allow you to adapt for present and future business demands.

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.
