How to-get-people-to-love-your-ideas-100-openLucidity
The best ideas need oxygen to survive. Without support, buy-in and resources from colleagues, managers, your board, supporters and beneficiaries an idea quickly dies. And that’s why being able to navigate the subtleties of interactions with the people you seek to influence, and approach them in a way that gives you the best chance of getting the results you want is a skill worth perfecting. Making an idea or an innovation happen is riddled with barriers, egos and politics. Your ability to influence could be the difference between success and failure.

What Does Good Agile Look Like? (Agile By Example 2018)Kevin Goldsmith
We attend Agile By Example because we believe in Agile and we want to develop our skills and improve how our teams work. We work Agile because we have had great experiences and success working this way.
Our experience is not common!
Most "Agile Transformations" fail. Many (if not most) Agile teams have poor Agile practices. People new to Agile struggle through these failed transformations or poor practices and get a wrong impression of Agile, because they have never seen it done well! Poor experience with Agile leads to the many myths and fallacies that developers repeat to each other or post on social media.
What can a dedicated Agilist do to inspire their teams to embrace Agile or work on improving their Agile processes?
Two years ago, I came to ABE to talk about the culture of continuous improvement that we were building at Avvo. It turns out that one of the biggest challenges we faced was explaining what our vision was, where we were going.
I will return for this years' ABE to talk about what a high-performing Agile company looks like, how to create and explain a vision for your teams and I will share the painful lessons we learned at Avvo as we worked on our evolution. I will also share the model I use to help with an Agile cultural transformation.

“There is only one boss. The customer; and he can fire everybody in the company from the chairman on down, simply by spending his money elsewhere.” …
(Sam Walton founder of Walmart)
In today’s volatile market, Consumer focused experience is the single driver for long term survival.

The testing community is caught between the devil and the deep blue sea when it comes to exploratory testing. Although exploratory testing has been around for ages, it often leads to more confusion than clarity. Is exploratory testing an activity—something that you do? Or is it an approach—a way or a style of doing something? Isn’t all testing exploratory? When do you do it? How do you do it properly? How does it relate to the entire software lifecycle? To answer these questions, Ingo Philipp outlines the most common confusions and controversies on this topic. He explains what exploratory testing is, why to use it, and when to practice it. Ingo discusses specific heuristics and techniques of exploratory testing, especially useful in fast-paced development environments, to get the most out of exploratory testing in your daily work. Bring your curiosity and a good sense of adventure to learn that exploratory testing is not just error guessing or common bug hunting but rather is at the heart of all things testing. Join this hands-on, interactive session to learn how to use this highly productive approach to put the adventure and effectiveness back into your testing.

It may be easier than ever today to collect data, but many marketers still find themselves scratching their heads when trying to decide how best to sift through it to uncover the gems.

* Including stakeholders in the development of metrics to prevent surrogation, or the confusion of strategic intent with the metrics meant to represent it

Open any business journal, and inevitably you will see an article about digital transformation. It is a buzzword in today’s marketing, business and strategy world. But how does that apply to professional services firms? During this session, at the 2017 Legal Marketing Association Annual Conference, we look at how to move beyond discreet digital projects (i.e. creating a website, amplifying your message through social and/or fine-tuning your email communications) in favor of a comprehensive multi-year strategy that focuses on continuous improvement, optimization and multi-channel communications. We examine how law firms and other professional services organizations are investing in digital as a core business development and marketing asset.
Specifically, we touch on how to:
1). Break free from the confines of defined project stages (beginning, middle, end), and instead adopt a more fluid approach that allows for continuous, incremental investment
2). Plan strategic short-term actions that will support a long-term vision
3). Collect, analyze and apply data in order to sustain digital momentum
4). Tackle budgeting and assemble strong cross-functional teams to support digital efforts
5). Implement a governance plan to measure and promote progress year after year

When most people in the industry talk about online or digital reputation management, what they're really saying is Google search and PPC. And it's usually reactive, left dealing with the aftermath of negative information published somewhere online. That's outdated. It leaves executives, organizations and other high-profile individuals at a high risk of a digital reputation attack that spans channels and tactics. But the tools needed to safeguard against an attack are more cybersecurity-oriented than most marketing and communications professionals can manage. Business leaders Leaders grasp the importance; 83% of executives place reputation in their top five areas of risk, yet only 23% are confident in their ability to address it. To succeed in 2024 and beyond, you need to turn online reputation on its axis and think like an attacker.\
Key Takeaways:
- New framework for examining and safeguarding an online reputation
- Tools and techniques to keep you a step ahead
- Practical examples that demonstrate when to act, how to act and how to recover
