Generating Trust for Global Virtual Teams Within and Outside Our Teams Co-locating teams in a Global Organisation is becoming more and more challenging. Large companies now have a global footprint working across multiple time zones and multiple languages to deliver complex projects. There is an increasing need for effective virtual working, utilising modern technologies to drive decision making and project delivery. It is even more important as leaders, through all this virtuality, to build strong relationships and trust within and outside our teams, whilst continuing to develop our people to deliver our projects. 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.
Is Your Daily Scrum Dysfunctional? The 15-Minute Daily planning event was made popular by Scrum but has this degenerated into a status meeting in your organization? Does it last well beyond 15 minutes? Do team members say the same thing every day but avoid focus on the Sprint Goal? If you answered yes to any of these questions, join us for this session on the Daily Scrum. We will identify Daily Scrum or "Stand Up" dysfunctions and provide tips to remedy these in order to get back on track. This and other IIL Learning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs.

Illuminating the Hidden - Design for Sustainability as a Path Toward More Sustainable Products, More Sustainable Thinking, More Sustainable Corporate Cultures Consumers and other purchasers understand now more than ever that there are hidden impacts in the products and services they purchase. Leading companies now realize that they need to incorporate sustainability into their product development processes. To do that, they need product development teams who know how to 'think' in terms of sustainability, and fostering such thinking requires shifts bigger than the single product on the shelf - it's about transforming corporate culture. This session will walk through the concepts behind Design for Sustainability. It will highlight as a case study a collaborative partnership between UL Environment and Ingersoll Rand in fostering sustainability thinking in Ingersoll Rand through its product development process. The session will end with a brief overview of steps that companies can take to start incorporating design for sustainability thinking in their organizations.

The Effect of Project Budgeting on Agile Transformations We've all participated in annual budget planning sessions that take weeks to complete, only to find the funding has been cut in half. We've also had to wait for months while decisions are delayed, causing us to delay work and hiring, but the deadlines don't move! And through all this, how do we keep our teams busy and continuously delivering valuable product? This session will discuss challenges with traditional project funding models, present the foundational elements needed for a successful Agile transformation, and discuss how to coach an organization through the transition.

The PMO: Business Enabler and Change Agent Corporate entities and government agencies are in the midst of transformational change as a result of business imperatives, regulatory requirements, competitive necessity, mergers & acquisitions, and a plethora of modernizations. PMOs can no longer contribute or even survive under the mantra of Score Keeper and Methodology Advocate. Evolving, successful PMOs are Business Enablers and Change Agents. To remain relevant and continue to add value across the enterprise, PMOs must become part of the fabric of the overall organization.

Enhancing Project Management Rigor for Innovation I believe that everyone performs some type of project management in their day to day work activities. I am advocating that we take this to the next level at organizations and enhance our project management rigor to improve our innovation output and in the end produce devices, therapies and services to better serve our patients around the world. We know that project management positons will increase by nearly 20% in the United States over the next 10 years. We must be ready to improve the project management process to be ready for this increase. This and other IIL Learning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs.

Dynamic Stakeholder Engagement Stakeholder engagement is one of the most important success criteria of any project or change initiative, yet it is often subsidiary to other processes or Participantd downward to managers and staff. Worse yet, it can be set up as a step-by-step, mechanical or uni-directional push communication process. Engaging stakeholders is a planned and highly adaptive organic process that seeks to touch each individual impacted by the change. Successful stakeholder engagement guides individuals to find and communicate their own motivation, embrace the change, and carry it forward. It is that dynamic that causes the change to happen and progress. This and other IIL Learning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs.

Re-imaging the World´s Economic Data Remember the "Kodak Moment?' It was a term in photography popularized by Kodak to capture important moments. Well, right now there is a Kodak Moment going on in healthcare information sciences. It is associated with the attribute-based data structures that are the basis for the revolution in genetic diagnostics, clinical risk management, and personalized medicine. It is also the foundation and source of the advances in Big Data and Artificial Intelligence in healthcare. In this session, you will learn about a new innovation in business information management called the Locus Model and a new type of business information system called the Functional Information System (FIS). These important innovations have the potential to impact all data management in business, finance, and economics by introducing a universal standard that can unify the disparate systems in disparate countries that we currently use to classify and organize business, finance, products or job information. 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.
