Nurturing an Innovative Team Do you have an innovative team? Unfortunately, for many leaders, their initial answer may be 'no.' For some reason, they aren't getting the levels of innovation they want from their team and it can be difficult to figure out why this is happening. This talk introduces the 3 actions you must take if you are looking to nurture an innovative team: Embrace diversity within your team Leverage cross-functional working groups Avoid hierarchies and bottlenecks Participants will come away with an immediate understanding of how embracing diversity and establishing cross-functional groups will help break down organizational silos and encourage innovation. 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.
Dynamic Reteaming at Fast-Growing Companies Team change is inevitable, especially when your company is hiring like crazy and doubling in size. Your teams might grow and split - like mitosis. Twenty people might arrive in one day. What feels like tectonic shifts happen as you morph structurally to refocus people and work. How can we bring a humanistic stance to this dynamic reteaming? How can people be empowered to have ownership over their team change? How can we integrate new people without losing our sense of culture? We will explore questions like these and will discover practical strategies to master dynamic reteaming. This and other IIL Learning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs.

Why Passionate Leadership Matters Innovation is a commonly used buzzword, but it has lost a lot of value because of its ubiquity. What do we mean by innovation? What types of innovation are there? How can understanding the different types of innovation help us do better work? Market-creating innovations transform complicated and expensive products into products that are simple and affordable so that many more people in society can have access to them. In doing so, these innovations create a new market because they target non-consumers. Efosa Ojomo explains the critical role of market-creating innovations in not only serving as new growth engines for companies, but also as a foundation for sustained economic development of a region. Using theories and models developed by Professor Clayton Christensen and his team, Ojomo demonstrates how innovations that create new markets impact peoples' lives, and challenges us to change how we think about innovation in our organizations.

Beyond One Happy Team: Self-Selection for a Better Culture The talent shortage is real. According to CareerBuilder research, 60% of US organizations today can't fill their open positions in 12 weeks or more. Combined with a high turnover rate, this leads to a massive loss of profit opportunities.How can we create a culture that attracts people and keeps them engaged, motivated, and well-jelled with their teams? And after they join, how do we build resilience into our teams and the organization? Empowering people to choose their own teams - a 'self-selection' - is a great vehicle to build happiness, resilience and a better culture.In this session I will share stories from running successful self-selection events in New York, Dublin and Chicago, and how I prepare technology teams and management for their first self-selection events. Participants will learn about the ingredients of successful self-selection and its positive effects on employee retention and company resiliency. They will leave this session with actionable steps, excited about their first self-selection experiment. This and other IIL Learning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs.

Stuck on Your Agile Journey? - Become a Learning Organization Although the adoption of an agile framework may be a good first step on your improvement journey, your real goal is to become a learning organization. Learning organizations are capable of developing their own fit-for-purpose Way or Working (WoW), which may be a hybrid of approaches, that enables them to out-compete others. The Disciplined Agile (DA) tool kit teaches you what agile frameworks will not - how to choose the approach for the situation that you face, continually learn, and ultimately improve your WoW. DA includes improvement techniques for individuals, teams, cross-team collaborations, value streams, and your enterprise. Knowing how to improve, and doing so effectively, is what enables you to become a learning organization. This and other IIL Learning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs.
