Portfolio as a Value Enabler: How to Make It Real A portfolio as a value enabler is not easy to achieve. It requires not only good process, practices and the right competencies in place but it also needs a change in the mindset of those involved in managing the portfolio. Quite often, a portfolio is not perceived as a value enabler but a necessary administrative burden. But how it can be perceived differently if it is presented as a collection of projects and programs or a massive Gantt chart? In order to change that perception and turn it into something tangible, portfolio management must apply principles of investment management. With this principle, it can turn into a great vehicle to drive business objectives. 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.

Leading Change Effectively & Sustainably If you don't like change, you're going to like irrelevance even less.' This quote from General Shinseki is something many of you have heard from executives - and if you haven't, you should have! As the pace of change continues to accelerate all around us, transformative changes must be led effectively in order to be sustainable. Every project manager must extend their toolkit to encompass change management techniques - these techniques need to be deployed throughout the project lifecycle and with every stakeholder. This session will highlight change management frameworks and tools - best practices that can be effectively used by a project manager in nearly any project.

Use Fast Feedback to Accelerate Business Agility w/ David Grabel Software engineers get feedback from their development environment and automated test suites in real-time. Errors can be fixed and verified in minutes. However, when organizations extend Agile beyond technology, feedback from stakeholders takes days and the 'feedback frenzies' can drag on for weeks or even months. Completing a story within a sprint seems impossible. It is time for 'the business' to dramatically reduce lead time and stop getting blamed for delays. This talk will show you how to quickly create a value stream mapping with your team. This map will expose needless delays and help you find ways to shorten cycle time to minutes, reducing overall lead time by 80% or more. It will include a way to overlay feedback loops on the value stream map, which can help you find the source of significant delays. You will also hear how creative teams are adapting mob programming techniques into their work in ways that build feedback into their processes in order to accelerate delivery from business teams.

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.

Reinventing Project Management Now! Projects are taking up a more and more prominent role within organizations and the economy as a whole. Simultaneously, the skill set demanded of project management professionals is changing, too. Recently, Gartner claimed that 80% of today's project management tasks will be eliminated by 2030 as Artificial Intelligence takes over. This statistic alone is an indicator that the project management profession will undergo profound changes in the next decade, if not earlier, and we should see this as a call for action to redefine the future of our profession. This session, founded upon some of the latest research conducted in collaboration with HBR, will explore the challenges that the project management profession is facing both from a methodological point of view, as well as the disruptions that are already impacting us, such as AI, robots, and blockchain. If we act now, project management will become one of the most sought-after competencies by organizations in the new world. Understand the disruption that the project management profession is about to face Learn new and simpler project management concepts that will help us become the profession of the future Understand the skills and competencies needed to be successful in the project economy This and other IIL Learning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs.

Modern Agile: Discovering Better Ways to Be Awesome Genuine agility is enormously effective in helping us achieve our dreams. The trouble is, Agile has grown into a complex tangle of roles and rituals, frameworks and tools, processes and certifications. We need a return to simplicity. Modern Agile is here to help.Designed for people in many domains (not just IT), Modern Agile is defined by four guiding principles: Make People Awesome, Make Safety a Prerequisite, Experiment & Learn Rapidly and Deliver Value Continuously. Understanding and deeply practicing these four principles will help you get better results faster.In this talk I'll share how these four (principles power world-famous companies and how they can help you work with greater speed, simplicity, safety and success.

What Leaders Need to Know About Unconscious Bias How many decisions have you made today that were driven by impulse or bias? If your answer is "none" or "very few," then two things are almost certainly true: you are human you are wrong. Every second, our brains receive more than 11 million bits of information, but our conscious minds can only process 40 bits per second. What this means is that most of the information that we take in from the world around us gets processed at a level below our conscious awareness. In this presentation, we will explore aspects of brain science related to bias, examining some of the more prevalent cognitive biases that exist. We will take a look at some of the shocking data around unconscious bias and investigate its impact in the workplace. Finally, we'll learn about the work that the most forward-thinking companies - like Google and Facebook - are doing to help their employees understand, recognize, and mitigate the effects of unconscious bias in the workplace.
