Risk Magic! How to Deal with Unknown Risk Many of us have taken on the challenge of better managing risk on our projects. That was a good start and we have since improved our risk management capabilities. Now we are being told that we should also manage unknown risk. If the risk really is unknown, how are we supposed to do that-with magic? Join this session for a fun look at the impossible. 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. Each professional development activity yields one PDU for one hour spent engaged in the activity. Some limitations apply and can be found in the Ways to Earn PDUs section that discusses PDU activities and associated policies. Fractions of PDUs may also be reported. The smallest increment of a PDU that can be reported is 0.25. This means that if you spent 15 minutes participating in a qualifying PDU activity, you may report 0.25 PDU. If you spend 30 minutes in a qualifying PDU activity, you may report 0.50 PDU.

Real-World Use Cases for AI In this session, we'll look at the impact of several recent developments in Artificial Intelligence (AI) including the areas of computer vision, language understanding, and reinforcement learning on our ability to more effectively carry out projects. We'll also dive into real-world use cases where these breakthroughs are being applied to improve our ability to get things done through better communication and collaboration, information processing, and decision making.

Staying Human and Happy in a Virtual World How to stay human and happy in a virtual world...sounds catchy, right? Lets face it - while co-located, it is easier to connect with others. When dispersed, there needs to be a concerted effort towards team alignment and successful outcomes. A leader's responsibility is to provide structure, guidance, and a framework. However, studies show that the way you measure a healthy and happy work environment isn't the external governance guardrails, but it's around the motivation employees feel. If we can create environments that ensure our remote employees are engaged, confident, and motivated, we will increase our ability to be competitive and deliver successful outcomes to our customers. In our session, we will build a virtual house of team collaboration and discuss 5 foundational strategies, 6 core statistics, and 2 toolkits to help you and your teams stay human and happy in a virtual world. Key takeaways Learn how we each have an opportunity to influence talent retention in spite of physical location separation Understand the social and economic benefits of making an employee feel valued Practice activities that can be deployed to drive up retention & connectivity, while working remotely

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.
