How to Build Curiosity: The Key to Improving Innovation, Engagement, and Productivity Employees can be more innovative, engaged and productive by improving their natural curiosity, but they must be trained to do so and be rewarded for their efforts. Harvard Business Review found that while 83 percent of C-suite executives believe they encourage curiosity, only 52 percent of employees feel they are rewarded for their curiosity-and are therefore less likely to provide innovative ideas to the organization. HR professionals and leaders can benefit from recent ground-breaking research discoveries regarding what affects curiosity. Once organizations recognize and overcome the four factors that hold people back from being curious, they can develop training and development plans to unleash it. This and other IIL Learning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs. Some titles, such as Agile-related topics may qualify for other continuing education credits such as SEUs, or CEUs.

We Don't Make Servers ...We Make Services: Implementing and Managing IT Services Implementing and Managing IT Services Being a service provider demands knowledge of who the customer is, what you as a provider offer customers (services), and assurance that those services provide value. Customers care about quality of service (e.g. the meal), and generally have little concern about the origin or performance of the ingredients that make it up (e.g. who does the maintenance on the grill). This session will discuss the concept of IT Service Management (ITSM), being a service provider, and the associated challenges, risks and critical success factors. You will learn about the importance, benefits and challenges of implementing and managing a formal IT Service Management (ITSM) practice for your IT organization and, ultimately, your company.

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.

Blockchain for Project Management Blockchain is not just a buzzword; it is an exciting new technology that allows users to exchange sensitive data without the need for brokers and other third party mediators. Blockchain technology provides a disruptive new method of conducting transactions over the internet and will ultimately change how we do project management. Enabling encrypted, distributed, and secure logging of digital transactions, blockchain is the underlying technology of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. But it is capable of much more and in this session, we will discuss where and how this technology is useful in project management.This session will explore the intersection of blockchain technology and project management. We will discuss the base concepts of blockchain, in particular, the notion of smart contracts and how to apply them to managing project-related activities. Smart contracts are the most transformative blockchain application. For example, a smart contract could be used to register project status reports or some project work performance data. A smart contract could also be used to automatically send a payment to a vendor as soon as a milestone has been met.Experts tell us that blockchain technology is an effective project management platform because it supports superior operational workflow. In this session, you will learn how implementing a blockchain-based project will lower risk, save time, and lower costs. After completing this session attendees will be able to: Understand how blockchain can be applied to project management Explain the basics of blockchain and the technology that make blockchains possible Distinguish between the components of blockchain

An Introduction to Professional Scrum Although Scrum has been around for more than 25 years, it is still a new concept to many. Moreover, there are myths that arise. In this session, Eric Naiburg, Chief Operating Officer for Scrum.org, provides an overview of the Scrum framework. He'll discuss how Scrum enables agility, and how an empirical process can empower teams that use it. You'll learn about the empirical process in Scrum where decisions are made based on observation and experimentation rather than on detailed upfront planning. We will apply this learning using facts and real-world examples. This and other IIL Learning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs.
