Workshop Description:

Decades of research – as well as common sense – suggest that unmotivated people working in unhealthy workplaces are less
productive, less innovative, and less creative. But, although it’s wellknown how to engage employees and create healthy work environments, employee engagement globally is only about 15%, with Japan at ashocking 6% of employees engaged! Why? Organizational culture! PeterDrucker reportedly said “Culture eats strategy for breakfast.” An organization’s culture is as invisible as the air that we breathe, and as inescapable as gravity. And it directly impacts everything that is done in those organizations. Unfortunately no one feels personally responsible for creating the culture!

Let’s be clear - WE are creating these workplace cultures! The upside of this is that we also have the power to change it for the better. Come explore the dark side of organizations, and the bright future available to those who are determined to “lead from any chair” to re-shape their organizations and generate great results by design. Strengthen your ability to lead your team in ways that engages people and connects them to a purpose beyond profit and a mission that matters, and enables you to avoid failing for these self-imposed causes:

• Fear of Failure
• Aversion to Planning
• Instinct for Competition
• Learned Helplessness

Workshop Description:

Program Management is based upon the premise of managing multiple projects and/or teams in a way which brings benefits that could not have been achieved without the coordination. There are many ways to provide that coordination. Scrum@Scale provides the best framework for coordination due to its minimal overhead. 

Where other methods involve tons of rules and processes which add more work, cost, and time to a program, Scrum@Scale boasts a “minimum viable bureaucracy” that requires little extra meetings and ceremonies but provides the techniques for maximizing value via increased alignment.  

Scrum@Scale naturally extends the core Scrum framework to deliver hyper-productive results across industries and disciplines, including software, hardware, services, operations, and R&D

Last date for On-line Registration: 09/20/2023

Workshop Description:

Scheduling can be a difficult subject - there are many knobs to turn, many screens to watch.

No matter which project management technique is followed – traditional waterfall, rolling wave, spiral or even agile and “milestone driven”, the project manager must be able to tie in scope, time and cost. In other words, no project plan is complete without a schedule.

As a group, we will consider situations you may have faced in your professional life and correlate them to the mathematics of scheduling and refine them using techniques suggested in the PMBOK.
