Deciphering a Learning Mindset: How It Supports an Innovative Company Having a learning mindset in today's environment is essential. With technology growing at an exponential rate, it is harder than ever for companies and individuals within companies to keep ahead of the curve (the fight to keep your skills, and hence your products up-to-date and relevant). This idea is very prevalent in certain communities such as technical ones, and not much so in leadership communities but it is the leaders that set the tone for the company. In this talk, Toby Newman will explore how leaders can drive success and innovation through a learning mindset. To have a true learning mindset, you have the responsibility to share back your new insights within an organization. This is where good leaders become great ones. This is where innovation really gets going. As leaders you have an extra responsibility as you set the tone and environment for this sharing to happen.

VPMMA: Building Our Future Project Management Workforce A tremendous project management talent pool exists but is unknown to many: Since every mission or exercise a military leader is tasked with is a temporary endeavor expected to produce unique goods, services or results, this means they have a significant amount of project management experience.An estimated 58% of the 250,000 service members that transition back into the civilian workforce each year are military leaders, i.e. high enough rank to be consistently tasked with projects, meaning we could consider an additional 145,000 experienced individuals a year for our project management roles! However, these PM candidates lack context about the civilian project environment, which presents a unique opportunity for mentorship, professional development and placement of these talented, experienced, proven project managers.Since January 2018, a collaboration between two project management companies has matched experienced PMs from industry with Military and Veteran PMs entering the profession, with astounding results! In just over a year, the Veteran Project Manager Mentor Alliance (VPMMA) has attracted 200+ participants across 29 states and 5 countries, and built partnerships with industry leading organizations such as Arizona State University, International Institute for Learning, Sensei Project Solutions and PM Master Prep.
