Design Thinking for a Circular Economy Design Thinking for a Circular Economy The most critical and complex problem of our age is how to create a robust economy that is sustainable for all future generations. Design Thinking is a revolutionary and practical methodology, with principles and processes that help people approach complex problems and create collaborative, innovative, and human-centered solutions for Sustainability. The Circular Economy utilizes restorative and regenerative methodologies like 'cradle to cradle' and 'biomimicry' to reshape how we do business, while fostering robust equitable economies. In this dynamic presentation, we will explore how the Circular Economy depends on Design Thinking in order to re-think and re-make our systems and products with an understanding of our Value chains as Material flows. When we create an economy that is just for all, and that fits into our ecological system as opposed to ecology bending to our economy, then we can produce a future that is Sustainable for all.

Bridging the Gap: Traditional to Agile Project Management Learn how a large cloud-computing enterprise used Flawless ExecutionSM, a remarkably scalable agile business framework, across diverse business teams including their Marketing Team, Legal Team, C-Suite and even the Sales Group functional teams that are notorious for avoiding agile methodologies. As part of a major merger, the company sought to unite two sales teams that were not strategically aligned and didn't have a customer-focused mindset. Just as agile methodologies help developers keep the customer at the forefront of the conversation, this sales organization used the agile techniques and practices of Flawless ExecutionSM, to align around the customer's needs, scale best practices, and shift the culture to a more customer-centric mindset. Result: after an abysmal first half in 2016, the team rallied together after implementing Flawless Execution as their process of record over the summer and beat their sales forecast by 17% in Q4. This had an impact on morale for the 22,000-person company and even increased the stock price by 10%. This and other IIL Learning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs.

DevOps: The Next Evolution of Lean and Agile What is DevOps? Is it a new role? Self-service? More communication/empathy between Dev and Ops? Continuous integration/continuous deployment tools? Practices like traffic shaping and feature toggles? Culture change? Most of those answers are not wrong, but they fail to capture the heart of it. At its heart, DevOps is simply empowered development teams taking responsibility for how their product performs in production. If so, then this is not a new story. It's a continuation of the lean/agile trend which was the beginning of the end for quality assurance and business analysis as separate silos. This talk applies the lessons learned from leading lean/agile transformations to the current ongoing change toward DevOps. This and other IIL Learning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs.

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.

Just in Time Training for Frontline Supervisors and Managers: Making the Case One of my favorite quotes on this topic comes from Zig Ziglar: 'The only thing worse than training employees and losing them is not training them and keeping them.' The transition from employee to manager is one of the most challenging: new roles and responsibilities, new ways of looking at organizations, and new ways of relating to all others around them. Most new supervisors and managers will tell you later in their careers that they floundered, avoided conflict, weren't firm enough when they should have been, and came on too strong to compensate - in other words, trial and error. And yet, most organizations spend more on leadership training at the end of a person's career than investing in their early promotions. Does it really make good business sense to give less training to those who need it early while giving more to those who need it less, later in their careers?

AI in Project Management: The Next Generation of Project Decision Making Project managers need to make critical project decisions on a daily basis. They are confronted with increasing complexities, high ambiguity and the need to process an exponentially growing amount of data and information in order to make informed and good decisions. This leads to an increasing risk of project failure - meanwhile, the project management industry is already challenged with ongoing low project success rates, caused by often massive failures of projects. Project Data Analytics and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are expected to fill the gap by providing analytical and unbiased capabilities that go beyond human possibilities, towards a data-driven and fact-based decision-making approach. While there is little doubt that AI as a trending technology will disrupt the project management practice and augment today's project management capabilities, AI cannot be seen as just another new tool to make project management more effective. Rather, AI will act as a complement to human intelligence, requiring a collaborative approach and, accordingly, a significant change in project culture and peoples' mindset. Today's project decisions are usually driven by human intuition, experience, leadership, and often do not follow any rational logic. Project decision-makers will be required to abandon such an approach and shift to a data-driven, decision-making approach. This session will provide an overview of the expected changes from AI-driven project management, the resulting impact on project decision making and changes in project culture, and what actions can be taken by project professionals to match their beliefs and behaviours with the new project culture. Learning goals: Gain insights into how AI for project management will significantly change decision-making in projects Gain an understanding of how to transition to a new AI-powered project culture
