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.

How to Get in Front of Conflict Before it Gets in Front of You When the Marine Corps plots a critical incident on a timeline going from left to right, the conflict itself is referred to as 'bang.' What happens to the right of that on the timeline is where the fighting begins; where you WANT to be is on the left - where preparation and enhanced observation skills can combine to help prevent the conflict from occurring. As project professionals, our trenches look a little different than those of the Marines, but our conflict timelines-and the skillsets that can get us in front of workplace conflict-are strikingly similar. In this presentation, we will explore many facets of conflict, including which types to stimulate and which types to minimize in order to keep your teams innovating and collaborating. Drawing on her experience working in conflict and post-conflict zones, Christa will provide insight into: recognizing physiological cues of discomfort; anticipating interpersonal conflict before it occurs; de-escalating emotional situations; mastering difficult conversations; and mediating interpersonal conflict to create a positive outcome. Translating critical scientific findings from an elite Marine Corps training program into the language of projects, she will share tools and techniques aimed to keep you and your projects well to the 'left of bang.'

Innovation Simplified: Why Simple Wins Imagine what you could do with the time you spend drowning in mundane tasks like meetings, reports, and emails? Complexity is holding most of us back from creating an innovative culture that embraces really valuable work. Simplification is the solution, and every organization wants to know the techniques to help them eradicate complexity and get back to meaningful work that drives innovative change. Bodell inspires leaders and their teams to consider what it means to have an innovative company. It isn't about creating a culture of cool lounge areas with ping pong tables. More than anything, your culture will be predicated on the work people do every day. If your organization is mired in meetings, emails, and reports, then that is what your culture will be known for; but, wouldn't you rather be known as the company where people are engaged in truly meaningful work every day? Lisa gives you the tools to make this a reality. This and other IIL Learning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs.

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. We'll consider a number of experiments, designed to drive value against today's challenges. From creating "intensity without pressure" to encouraging every colleague to play a "game of impact";, attendees will leave with a foundation from which to thoughtfully tweak their own operating models, performance, and experience.
