Execution - Linking Strategy to its Finish Line What are the gaps that hinder the successful execution of projects and programs? This video explores the importance of aligning strategy to execution in order to achieve results. 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.

Using Data to Delight My BHAG or big hairy audacious goal is to make citizens delighted with government again by using this data and telling a story with analytics to show with facts what is happening, and being transparent in doing so. We are all citizens; we all have the ability to interact in this ecosystem. The time is now to make our communities better. I hope you will join me in learning about data coming in at record rates and how it can be used in your communities. This and other IIL Learning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs.

Driving Innovation from Within - A Guide for Employees and Organizational Leaders 'Innovation' brings to mind the maverick entrepreneur who quits their job, at unimaginable odds, to build a business on their own. But this entrepreneurial story is a myth. As a successful entrepreneur, author, consultant and CEO, Kaihan Krippendorff argues that intrapreneurs - employees who incubate new businesses within corporations - have had a far greater impact on the world. Nearly all of the most transformative innovations over the past three decades, from e-mail and the Internet to DNA sequencing and MRI scans, were introduced by employees who did not quit their jobs but instead took the challenge of innovating from within. Drawing on five years of in-depth research of hundreds of successful innovators and Intrapreneurial Intensity, as well as insights from thought leaders, C-suite leaders, business unit leaders, and front-line employees, Kaihan will share exclusive insights from his book, Driving Innovation From Within: A Guide for Internal Entrepreneurs (Columbia University Press, 2019). In this inspiring keynote, you will learn about: The IN-OVATE Framework The seven barriers of internal innovation and how to overcome them The six characteristics of Internal Innovators The seven steps to build an agile innovation team How to disrupt your competition without disrupting your business What it takes to lead an innovative organization and drive transformation How to shift your organizational mindset and culture How to build a wave of internal support for growth, innovation and creativity by reinforcing the idea that innovation is possible, attainable, and ultimately actionable

Reducing and Preventing Human Error in Projects "To Err is Human." This partial quote by Alexandre Pope reminds us that not all errors can be avoided. However, in some cases, the ripple effect caused by a human error can have huge consequences, resulting in billions or even trillions of dollars in lost revenue. This is also true for projects. One small mistake, especially when it remains undetected, can lead to substandard project results. Therefore, reducing and preventing human error is critically important to project success. But how can this be done? Key Takeaways: Why it is critical to reduce and prevent human error What factors contribute to reducing and preventing human error Where you can find Resources on reducing and preventing human error How we can work better together to prevent and reduce human error Which techniques are useful for reducing and preventing human error

Disrupting for Good: Using Passion and Persistence to Create Lasting Change Disrupting for Good is about challenging complacency and the status quo. It's a challenge and a call to get comfortable with those truths that make us uncomfortable so that we can actually do something about them. Doing what we've always done will get us where we've always been. Disruptors dismantle accepted norms and forge unimagined futures. And this session shows anyone, anywhere exactly how to become a disruptor. It starts with inspiration and ends with a framework that is immediately actionable. Passion + Persistence = Lasting Change. That is the message of Disrupting for Good. Participants will understand the important role disruptors have played throughout history Participants will analyze their own lives, companies, and industry for the places in need of positive disruption Participants will walk through a MAP of disruption to create an immediately actionable plan for disrupting for good

James Webb Space Telescope - Leading Large Complex Global Projects What you will Learn: The James Webb Space Telescope will explore every phase of cosmic history - from within our solar system to the most distant observable galaxies in the early universe, and everything in between. Webb will reveal new and unexpected discoveries, and help humankind understand the origins of the universe and our place in it. This mission, scheduled for a December 18, 2021 launch, is a collaboration of NASA, the European Space Agency and Canadian Space Agency. We discuss the motivating science questions that required the development of the observatory, highlight the technologies, and project management challenges and lessons learned encountered during the development of this large complex global project. The James Webb Space Telescope is arguably an unparalleled engineering and technological feat, we explore the critical role of project management in making the world's largest space telescope a success. As NASA and the space industry are moving swiftly to new approaches, new systems, and far more commercial exploration (often referred to as 'new space') than previously imagined. We also explore how acquisition and project management are evolving towards that future. This and other IIL Learning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs.

Blockchain - Coming to a Transaction Near You Blockchain is a technology for enabling and managing transactions and data sharing, bringing a level of security, transparency, and efficiency never before possible. Given how fundamental transactions are to how we function as a society, this evolution will have a transformative effect not just on business, but to how we live. Hyperledger is the fastest growing initiative in Linux Foundation history and Hyperledger Fabric, the work Mark has led, includes over 159 engineers from 28 organizations around the world. Project Management will need to understand the implications for business processes and how working with an open source community might be leveraged within the PM discipline.

The 14 BFO's (Blinding Flashes of the Obvious) Putting People (REALLY) First Autumn of 1985. It had been a grueling two days. A Manhattan seminar for 'YPO,' the Young Presidents Organization. They cut me no slack, and demanded my full attention, almost [drop the 'almost'] literally '24/7.' But it had gone well. Now it was coming to an end. And I wanted feedback.One guy I'd had really intense-and I thought terrific-exchanges with was Manny Garcia. He was either the biggest, or one of the top five, Burger King franchisees-he more or less 'owned' South Florida, with, as I recall, well over 100 shops. Manny put up his hand and I nodded in his direction. He began, 'Well, Tom, two long days-and I didn't learn one damn new thing.' Collectively people snapped to attention. As for me, call the ambulance and EMTs. Then he continued, 'I learned nothing new, but it was pretty clearly the best seminar I've ever attended. It amounted to a blinding flash of the obvious.' A BLINDING FLASH OF THE OBVIOUS: THE 'BFOs' ARE BORN.Manny continued, 'This 'excellence' thing is not rocket science, it's things we all know we should be doing. But somehow we get sidetracked. I am now determined I'm going home and putting on the front burner what in fact ought to be on the front burner.' Manny's comments stuck. And stick to this day. No rocket science. 'Obvious' 'stuff' that gets lost somehow, somewhere, amidst the cacophony of daily affairs.
