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. 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.

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.

Persuading the Bear Learn How to Build Engaged Communities Through Horizontal Influencing It was 9 pm on a Friday and I was at work. My spouse called asking when I'd be home; my boss was all over me. I had been working on a proposal for 5 months and couldn't get team, vendor and client's buy in! I became insufferable (even Ron, my best friend, declined our traditional Wednesday beer date). I changed jobs frequently, feeling disengaged, until I became physically ill. After a third round of antibiotics, I decided to quit another position and start working for myself.My feeling of disengagement was not unique. According to the Gallup engagement study, nearly 70% of employees suffer from work place disengagement - a true epidemic!For over 20 years, my personal transformation journey as a consultant and later as a leadership agile coach taught me to look for patterns in organizations. I have recognized recurring behaviours that plague unsuccessful and disengaged organizations.The overarching problem is the traditional approach to organizational power/influence which I named vertical influencing. Unsuccessful organizations suffer from high employee disengagement since they adopt vertical influence patterns.On the other hand, I discovered that successful organizations adopt a fresh paradigm of horizontal influencing. Presently, these horizontal influencing structures manifest themselves in lean agile approaches.Horizontal influencing includes a set of skills fundamental to building Dyad and Triad relationships; creating a true win-win environment at the individual, team and organizational level. Experience how to create engaged communities together, through building Horizontal influencing.

You Design Think More Than You Know Today's world is very volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous. What used to work, seems to work less efficient or effective. The pandemic shows us that the consequences in daily life can be huge. For some of us, this means confusion and struggle to find solutions to problems. Others reflect on what is happening and reframe this VUCA world as an opportunity for creating new products, services of systems. Start to think as a designer. Designing solutions serves users and customers. Real human beings with names, moods, needs and problems. We sometimes forget, because while creating solutions we fall in love with them. Our attention focuses on the solution. Design thinking has made empathizing with the customer one of the main anchor points. You always remember for whom you are designing and creating. How many ideas would you need to find the one that fits the problem of your user? Ten, a hundred or maybe more? The answer is, more than you think now. Start with questioning the problem. Play and collect different perspectives on the problem. Every single perspective leads to different ideas. In this way you easily reach a great number of solutions. We will share a few relevant, creative exercises so you can challenge your own dominant reaction to solving problems. Having this personal experience will help you to adopt a design thinking mindset to help your clients. What You Will Learn: Introduction to Design Thinking Two Exercises to change your perspectives on problems and solutions Reflection on one's own thinking system How to reframe constraints as valuable opportunities to find creative solutions
