Bradley Scott discusses people policies to support agile transformation. Originally, Peopleware discussed how sociological factors are major problems in systems work. Culture is a big contributor to agility and effectiveness. Cash bonuses often don't work for talented people and companies should replace them with better incentives. Management should solve as few problems as possible and use their talent elsewhere. Engagement surveys should not be annual events but instead ongoing. The document encourages examining your organization's culture and finding ways to improve agility through people policies and incentives.
LEI CEO John Shook, who helped Toyota transfer its lean business system to the US, gave the audience some background on lean’s development and its key concepts. He also noted that whether it is established or startup, lean organizations share 2 traits.
Lean is about learning, John Shook told a crowd of 200 managers from manufacturing, healthcare, government, and service organizations who had gathered for a learning session sponsored by the Iowa Lean Collaborative on Oct 2, 2012.
To be successful, he said lean learning needs these characteristics:
• All learner partners actively participate
• Mutual Respect: Openness in sharing experience, knowledge, challenges, struggles;
• Teachers are learners; learners are teachers
• Problems to be addressed are important and challenging to all partners

Get the Right Workforce with the Right Skills — and then Keep ThemWorkible
As an employer, you know your product, service, market and customers. But sometimes one of the most challenging aspects of operating a business is employees.
Finding the right employees can always prove troubling for organisations and then there's the ability to hang on to them.

Basadur Applied Innovation & Leadership Dialogues
Many companies are returning to a changed business context and need to quickly solve a range of new problems or reinvent their products and services. This is an exciting opportunity to innovate. Many fewer recognize that achieving these creative results efficiently requires an effective process, specific skills and tools, and the right blend of thinking styles working in sync with one another. When any of these are lacking, teams may struggle to innovate. To help leaders, business owners and HR professionals engage these challenges, Ellen Moran and Tim Basadur will provide an introduction to the Simplexity Method for Applied Innovation which is designed to enable teams and organizations to achieve innovative results quickly.
Session Outcomes:
• Discover the necessary elements for innovative results – The Innovative Results Equation • Learn the four creative problem-solving preferences of team members and how their way of interacting can be a facilitator or roadblock for team innovation. • Understand the four-stage innovation process to move teams through problem-finding, problem-defining, problem solving and solution implementation in a way that drives strong team alignment and commitment. • Leave with practical tools and frameworks that can immediately boost creative collaboration where you work.

Designing Adaptive Careers - The Talent Canvas
As presented at Better Sotware 2015 in Florence
Why a career should not be considered an evolutionary process, that requires constant feedback in order to develop talent and skills, while fits in a even more liquid company culture?
HR Management's traditional approach is proving increasingly inadequate to the shifting environment of modern companies. HR departments are based on practices that fails to adapt to our ever-changing scenario. Professionals and companies both need to be able to reinvent themselves...
The Adaptive Career is a set of conversation design tools aiming to enpower our approach to career development. It will be useful to anyone involved in HR management and team leading, but also small teams and entrepreneurs. It's focused on transparency and motivation, and it has been designed to gain mutual support and commitments about evolutionary careers.

[Workshop] Organization Experience - A framework for Adaptive CareersMarco Calzolari
BetterSoftware Conference, Florence (Italy) 2016
Our career as manager and kwoledge workers should be considered an evolutionary process, that requires constant feedback in order to develop talent and skills, while fits in a increasingly liquid company culture. We all need to reshape conversations and visualization about work, job roles, purposes and performance. Companies should consider and co-design the Employee Experience as well as they work on Customer and User Experience. Great UX design arises only by a great experience of work and collaboration.
Every one has got a desire to become a CEO of a Company. But, they lack initiative and unable to influence others. This PPT will help them to understand what makes a CEO and how to become a CEO.
It’s important to get the right people doing the right jobs. Sometimes great people get poor results because they’re doing the wrong job. Get the maximum results with the resources that you have right now.

The People Side of Innovation
These days, there is much talk about open innovation, business model innovation and innovation culture. These are important topics, but the most significant element to anything related to innovation will always be people.
It is people that make things happen and this is you, your colleagues, your customers and other external partners that you engage with to bring innovation to market.
It is not that long ago that a good innovator was considered to be a good engineer or R&D person. However, things have changed big time over the last 5-7 years as the open innovation and business model innovation movements continue to rise while companies have failed to upgrade their innovation capabilities during the financial crisis.
In this talk, Stefan Lindegaard will explain the consequences of these changes as he looks into the skills and mindset that are required to be a good innovator in this era of “modern innovation,” which is driven more by openness and business models than internal R&D and patents.
The topics include:
• 7 critical personal competencies for innovation success
• an overview of the types of people and functions you need for a strong innovation team
• insights on the key elements for corporate innovation training programs
• a view on why some people kill innovation – and how to deal with them
Understand the difference between "satisfaction" and "engagement" plus what process I believe will get the most engagement levels for human capital within organisations.
Automated Agility?! Let's Talk Truly Agile Testing - Adam Howard - AgileNZ 2017AgileNZ Conference

Breaking Through the Transformation Pain Barrier - Julie Lindenberg & David M...AgileNZ Conference
The mobile banking division of global fin-tech leader Fiserv has grown significantly to over 40 Agile delivery teams, 15 in NZ.

When product ownership became the new roadmap for BNZ Digital, Penny and Chetan didn’t know where to start.

The Art of Dual-track Delivery - Ant Boobier - AgileNZ 2017AgileNZ Conference
We all know the importance of product designers and developers working more closely together. One approach to achieving this is ‘dual-track delivery’. But we shouldn’t think of dual-track delivery as separate tracks, because they’re not.
About Ant Boobier:
Ant Boobier is Practices Lead at BNZ and has been doing Agile for more years than he cares to remember. RAD in the 90s, XP in the 2000s and a magic mix of Lean UX and Agile today. He is a people geek who loves a good experiment.
Becoming Agile: Agile Transitions in Practice - Rashina Hoda - AgileNZ 2017AgileNZ Conference

It should then be logical to see most organisations using this to their competitive advantage.
About Aurelien Beraud:
After a career as a Software Developer in Norway, Aurelien swapped the fjords up north for the glittering city of Auckland down under to do what he knows best. He now spends his days as an Agile Coach, helping teams to push their own limits and deliver products that change the life of their users. When he's not at work, he can be found geeking out in front of a game or exploring the intricacies of cognitive science.
Making the Invisible Visible: Showing WIP & Flow at Portfolio Level in Waterf...AgileNZ Conference
Kanban's principles require us to limit WIP in order to increase flow. Yet, traditional reporting across a portfolio often takes a siloed approach, with individual projects providing individual updates against common metrics like time, cost and scope delivered. Portfolio and Program Managers, therefore, don't have a view of the WIP of the 'system' or its impact on flow.
About Suzanne Nottage:
Suzanne has worked with leaders and teams in Europe, Asia, the US and Australasia, particularly on leveraging Lean|Agile to improve delivery at portfolio level.
Her work has enabled teams to reduce WIP by 75% and failure demand by 40%, while increasing customer satisfaction (and team happiness).
Outside of work, Suzanne has also applied Agile in her triathlon training over the past eight years.
DevSec Delight with Compliance as Code - Matt Ray - AgileNZ 2017AgileNZ Conference
For too long, audits and security reviews have been seen as resistant to the frequent release of software. Auditors require access to static systems and environments, which would seem to make continuous delivery impossible. Too frequently audits are a fire drill sampling of the current state and temporary fixes are put in place to appease the compliance audit without being integrated into future releases.
About Matt Ray:
Matt Ray is the Manager and Solutions Architect for Asia Pacific and Japan for Chef. He has worked in large enterprise software companies and founded his own startups in a wide variety of industries including banking, retail and government.
He has been active in open source communities for over two decades and has spoken at, and helped organise, many conferences and Meetups.

He podcasts at SoftwareDefinedTalk.com, blogs at LeastResistance.net and is @mattray on Twitter, IRC, GitHub and too many Slacks.
Shaking Leads to a Shake Up - Russel Garlick - AgileNZ 2017AgileNZ Conference

As Catalyst IT's Agile Advocate, he helps teams either transition to Agile or improve their Agile craft. A large part of hiss role is teaching and training which he does at work as an ICAgile Accredited Trainer and outside work as both a MTB Skills Coach for WORD and Joyride and Chairperson of Trail Fund NZ.
Making Agile Leadership Work: A Journey From Coach to Manager - Martin Cronj...AgileNZ Conference
The relationship between a coach and manager is crucial to building effective teams. Managers often don’t have the slack or flexibility to help their teams reach high performance while coaches often lack context of the challenges that teams and leaders face on a day-to-day basis.
About Martin Cronjé:
Martin is a Software Development Manager at MYOB, New Zealand with more than 17 years’ experience in the IT industry. He's passionate about working with teams to create beautiful, well-crafted software.

Agile-ish – How to Build a Culture of Agility - Lynne Cazaly - AgileNZ 2017AgileNZ Conference
With the rise of Agile as a mindset (not a buzzword) and the success of methods like the Lean Startup, it’s time to bring these ways of working into teams and organisations the world over. Yes, it’s a cultural shift, yet it need not be tackled all at once... and you can iterate, improve on it.
About Lynne Cazaly:
Lynne Cazaly is the author of four books – Leader as Facilitator: How to inspire, engage and get work done, Making Sense: A Handbook for the Future of Work, Create Change: How to apply innovation in an era of uncertainty and Visual Mojo: How to capture thinking, convey information and collaborate using visuals. Lynne works with project teams, executives and senior leaders on major change and transformation projects. She helps people distil their thinking, apply ideas and innovation and boost the engagement and collaboration effectiveness of teams. She is also an experienced board director and chair and a partner with Thought Leaders and on faculty of Thought Leaders Business School.
Modern Agile – What's It Good For? - Jacob Creech - AgileNZ 2017AgileNZ Conference
The Agile Manifesto has been around since 2001 and, although the industry has rapidly developed, the principles still hold very true. However, there are lots of great new ideas that people have been experimenting with since the Manifesto was signed and, in this talk, attendees will hear about a few of these developments, focusing on the concept of Modern Agile.
About Jacob Creech:
Jacob started out in web development around 2000 and discovered that people constantly asked for things they didn't actually need, which led him on a journey of discovery that ended up in this thing called 'Agile'. He found himself in China helping develop virtual products for Second Life and then as the one and only non-Chinese person in a web development agency – good for language practice, not so much for delivering amazing work.
After some time back in New Zealand on a usability product among other things, he returned to China to co-found an Agile consulting company, worked with a variety of large, impressive-sounding international companies at a scale that would make most New Zealand cities look tiny, and managed to stumble into a range of interesting opportunities all around Asia that kept him busy for the next few years.
However, after some time, he got the itch to return to NZ and ended up at Assurity in late 2015 where he now heads up the Agile practice and works with government and non-government clients to deliver work in ever-improving ways. In his spare time, he (poorly) plays table tennis and enjoys naming babies after entrepreneurs.

Being Agile vs Agile Doing - Luke Hohmann - AgileNZ 2017AgileNZ Conference
The Agile Community loves to talk about 'leadership' and how better 'leaders' can bring project success. And most of the popular Agile methods love to frame 'leadership' as the essential ingredient of success. Unfortunately, too many teams spend too much time discussing these topics without fully appreciating their deeper meanings.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Unveiling the Secrets How Does Generative AI Work.pdfSam H
At its core, generative artificial intelligence relies on the concept of generative models, which serve as engines that churn out entirely new data resembling their training data. It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else. If taken to cyberspace, gans work almost the same way.

6. Why Xero got rid of cash bonuses
We didn’t do it well. And even if we did, would it be worth it?
“Once the task called for even
rudimentary cognitive skill a larger
reward led to poorer performance”
Federal Reserve Bank of Boston Working Paper, July 2005
7. What (I hope) will take its place
Bonuses from your mate not the man
“Results suggest that a minor adjustment to employee bonuses –
shifting the focus from the self to others – can produce measurable
benefits for employees and organizations”
Harvard Business School working paper, 2013
“It's great that the managers know who's super-effective and contributing
the most, but, quite frankly, we know better, so let us reward and
recognize our peers”
Greg Silva, IGN Entertainment
8. Solve as few problems as you can
as ‘management’. Use your talent
22. In Summary
What you should be thinking about...
● Culture is a big contributor to effectiveness. So work on it
● Culture is not HR’s problem to solve. It’s yours
● Ditch incentives that don’t work for talented people. Create better ones
● Solve as few problems as you can as ‘management’. Use your talent
● You wouldn’t do a retro yearly. Don’t do engagement surveys that way
23. Coding War Games
So where is your organisation? And what are you going to do about it?
