Supply Chain and its Role in Branded Innovation Project Managers, Supply Chain Planners, and Technical Leaders are often faced with trade-offs for cost, speed, or innovation without a clear strategy of how to choose. The years of pushing products to the mass market every few years are over as consumers continue to be more demanding of their products and the brands behind these products. Innovation is rarely a straight line and the business leaders of the future need to know how to pivot when a roadblock appears. This session will introduce some basic strategies which are applicable to anyone who works in or with the supply chain at their company. You will learn how to develop a roadmap for supply chain capability, take strategic 'time-outs' from your daily work to assess risks, with your team and to recover quickly, and to align on key points of achievement. Additionally, you will learn some of Jonathan's strategies on how to keep our stakeholders informed, including sharing bad news, and how to continuously motivate teams during 2+ year programs. 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.

What is Disciplined Agile? Where did it come from? Where is it going? How can it help me? In your organization, you are very likely using a variety of approaches to deliver solutions to your stakeholders. You might be using traditional waterfall, agile, or hybrid approaches. If you are applying agile methods or frameworks, you might be using Scrum, SAFe®, Lean Kanban, or 'roll your own' techniques. Regardless of what methods you are using, the Disciplined Agile (DA) tool kit can help you to be more effective. It is an agnostic, comprehensive library of strategies and practices, with practical advice for which ones work for in different contexts. Many organizations struggle to evolve an agile way of working (WoW) that makes sense for their unique situations. The good news is that you don't need to figure it out on your own. The DA tool kit leverages the experiences of thousands of teams who have already struggled through the very issues that our teams currently face. By referencing these strategies, you can accelerate your journey to project delivery success using a technique we call Guided Continuous Improvement (GCI). Learning Objectives This presentation explains the value of the Disciplined Agile tool kit and how to use it in practice with GCI across your entire organization, putting you on a path to true business agility. Learn what DA is and where it came from Learn about where DA is moving next Understand how DA can help you with your projects
