Inspiring The Human-Centered Organization - Three Laws of Business Agility In his keynote, Steve Denning will take you along on his journey in which he first encountered the success of the agile approach in software development and witnessed how this innovative method slowly but surely became the norm in many large multinationals. As Steve got more involved in the agile method, he and other members of the SD Learning Consortium set out on a quest to find out what is real agile, and what is fake? What was successful, and what was not? They found that what was needed is an Agile Mindset. It's a different way of looking at, thinking about, understanding and interacting with the world. In relation to this mindset, they identified what he calls the 'Three Business Laws of Agile'. During his presentation, Steve will explain these laws in depth, helping you to understand how you too can adopt this Agile Mindset yourself.

Innovation Simplified: Why Simple Wins Imagine what you could do with the time you spend drowning in mundane tasks like meetings, reports, and emails? Complexity is holding most of us back from creating an innovative culture that embraces really valuable work. Simplification is the solution, and every organization wants to know the techniques to help them eradicate complexity and get back to meaningful work that drives innovative change. Bodell inspires leaders and their teams to consider what it means to have an innovative company. It isn't about creating a culture of cool lounge areas with ping pong tables. More than anything, your culture will be predicated on the work people do every day. If your organization is mired in meetings, emails, and reports, then that is what your culture will be known for; but, wouldn't you rather be known as the company where people are engaged in truly meaningful work every day?

The Science of Performance The concept of performance takes up a central place in our world. It is one of the key metrics in our lives and has a prominent place, even at an early age. It is considered in school, sports, relationships, work, and of course, projects. In this session, we'll leverage history, current events, experiential learning, and science to explain what performance is, what drives it, and most importantly, what that means for you and any person at work. We'll consider a number of experiments, designed to drive value against today's challenges. From creating "intensity without pressure" to encouraging every colleague to play a "game of impact";, attendees will leave with a foundation from which to thoughtfully tweak their own operating models, performance, and experience.
