Just in Time Training for Frontline Supervisors and Managers: Making the Case One of my favorite quotes on this topic comes from Zig Ziglar: 'The only thing worse than training employees and losing them is not training them and keeping them.' The transition from employee to manager is one of the most challenging: new roles and responsibilities, new ways of looking at organizations, and new ways of relating to all others around them. Most new supervisors and managers will tell you later in their careers that they floundered, avoided conflict, weren't firm enough when they should have been, and came on too strong to compensate - in other words, trial and error. And yet, most organizations spend more on leadership training at the end of a person's career than investing in their early promotions. Does it really make good business sense to give less training to those who need it early while giving more to those who need it less, later in their careers?

DevOps: The Next Evolution of Lean and Agile What is DevOps? Is it a new role? Self-service? More communication/empathy between Dev and Ops? Continuous integration/continuous deployment tools? Practices like traffic shaping and feature toggles? Culture change? Most of those answers are not wrong, but they fail to capture the heart of it. At its heart, DevOps is simply empowered development teams taking responsibility for how their product performs in production. If so, then this is not a new story. It's a continuation of the lean/agile trend which was the beginning of the end for quality assurance and business analysis as separate silos. This talk applies the lessons learned from leading lean/agile transformations to the current ongoing change toward DevOps. This and other IIL Learning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs.
