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.

The Innovator's Mindset What makes a person an innovator? The key differentiator is their mindset. Practicing certain skills can improve your innovative possibilities. Innovators build on their area of expertise; they are prepared. They often have a deep understanding of a field - but this does not confine their thinking - it provides a strong foundation to build, experiment, and learn. They start with a 'blank slate', observing, curious, questioning, digging deeper, broadening horizons, seeking diverse intersections, seeing the possibilities. Extreme paradigm shifts occur when diverse intersections occur serendipitously, resulting in discovery and value creation. The future is unpredictable; however, we can be prepared for a future unlike today by having an innovator's mindset. This and other IIL Learning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs.
