Collective Genius: The Art and Practice of Leading Innovation What does it take to build an organization that can innovate in today's global economy and embrace new technologies? What kind of leadership is needed? How can you select and develop the kind of leadership talent needed? These are questions Linda Hill has been researching along with among others, the former SVP of Technology for Pixar. She will share examples from her book of leaders who have learned how to cultivate 'collective genius' and provide a framework for creating organizations in which people are willing and able to innovate.

Scaling with Simplicity - How to Eliminate Complexity in Large Agile Programs As agile thought leaders debate if agile at scale is really "agile" many of us who work in the trenches understand that scaling is sometimes necessary. We work in legacy environments and on complex codebases that require coordination. Our organizations may be working towards independent teams and a microservices architecture, but even the migrations required to get there demand scaling. This talk will help participants reduce complexity in scaled organizations and simplify their program framework. Attendees will receive actionable recommendations to help them execute more efficiently starting today. With a heavy focus on eliminating dependencies and effective planning, the presentation will help attendees bring simplicity to even the most complex scaled programs. Interspersed through the presentation will be real-life examples of successes and failures so attendees can understand how to put ideas into action. Attendees will also receive tips on influencing leadership to adopt these recommendations, empowering them to drive sustainable change. Key takeaways: How to simplify a program's operating model Tips for eliminating dependencies and managing through dependencies that can't be cut How to overcome two problems no amount of planning can solve for: bad requirements and unstable priorities Strategies to reduce the impact of prioritization changes How to influence the change necessary to build a better managed program

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.

Lead with Joy! You won't get to joy by leading the way you always led. You, the leader, will need to make a change, serious change. In this talk, Rich will explore his own journey to joy, how he had to learn to lead in a completely different way, by doing so, witnessed results that exceeded his wildest expectations. In this talk, Rich will use this example and by analogy apply it to the human teams we are leading. The message is simple: when we finally understand the relevant principles (in flight, or in teams), we can fly to heights and distances that were previously unimaginable. Rich will take you on a journey of change and bring you to the place he is now ... that we stand at the vanguard of understanding what it takes to unleash the human potential of the people who work for us and around us. He will explain how the common, unchanging, disengagement statistics are a fundamental failure of leadership and what simple things we can do to get our teams off the ground and flying.

Program Excellence: How to Lead in a Constantly Changing World In this presentation, Dr. Zeitoun reflects on the impact that Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity and Ambiguity (VUCA) has on achieving strategic initiatives' success. This serves as the backdrop for why the development of our 'sensing and responding' appetite is crucial for tomorrow's businesses. He will explore approaches for creating closeness with the customer's voice. Multiple examples that highlight best practices for sensing and responding will be showcased and used. You will come away with a foundation for creating a dynamic environment that supports high agility in dealing with the ever-increasing pace of change.

Blockchain for Project Management Blockchain is not just a buzzword; it is an exciting new technology that allows users to exchange sensitive data without the need for brokers and other third party mediators. Blockchain technology provides a disruptive new method of conducting transactions over the internet and will ultimately change how we do project management. Enabling encrypted, distributed, and secure logging of digital transactions, blockchain is the underlying technology of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. But it is capable of much more and in this session, we will discuss where and how this technology is useful in project management.This session will explore the intersection of blockchain technology and project management. We will discuss the base concepts of blockchain, in particular, the notion of smart contracts and how to apply them to managing project-related activities. Smart contracts are the most transformative blockchain application. For example, a smart contract could be used to register project status reports or some project work performance data. A smart contract could also be used to automatically send a payment to a vendor as soon as a milestone has been met.Experts tell us that blockchain technology is an effective project management platform because it supports superior operational workflow. In this session, you will learn how implementing a blockchain-based project will lower risk, save time, and lower costs. After completing this session attendees will be able to: Understand how blockchain can be applied to project management Explain the basics of blockchain and the technology that make blockchains possible Distinguish between the components of blockchain

Our Unconscious Bias and Microaggressions: Creating Cultural Awareness in You and Your World Everyone is unique, and we all see and interact differently with the world around us. Our upbringings, our relationships, our communities, and the culture that we are a part of are just some of the elements that influence our worldview and our own cultural bubble. Most people have some understanding of unconscious bias, but the term 'microaggression' may be less known to some. When heading into this presentation, it is relevant to keep in mind that due to our cultural bubbles, we all hold unconscious biases within us and that many of us have displayed microaggressions towards others. What is also true is that, most likely, everyone has been on the receiving end of such behavior whether you realize it or not. This session will set you up to become more aware of your own (and others') unconscious biases and microaggressions through words, thoughts, and impact - and how You can take action. Examining the communities where we live and the organizations where we work, we will discover how to recognize and handle the intentional and unintentional biases that prevail all around us to help contribute and create a safer personal and work environment. We will learn: What is unconscious bias? What is a microaggression and is it really micro? Where do unconscious bias and microaggressions come from? Cultural self-awareness starts with you and your world Microaggression Giver: Being responsible for your impact Microaggression Receiver: When to talk about it or walk away?

An Introduction to Professional Scrum Although Scrum has been around for more than 25 years, it is still a new concept to many. Moreover, there are myths that arise. In this session, Eric Naiburg, Chief Operating Officer for Scrum.org, provides an overview of the Scrum framework. He'll discuss how Scrum enables agility, and how an empirical process can empower teams that use it. You'll learn about the empirical process in Scrum where decisions are made based on observation and experimentation rather than on detailed upfront planning. We will apply this learning using facts and real-world examples. 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.
