This document outlines a presentation on managing teams to succeed. It discusses the importance of self-reflection for managers, understanding one's team, and investing in their well-being and development. It provides examples of reflective exercises for managers, such as keeping a journal, using checklists, and setting goals. It also addresses challenges such as handling underperforming staff and the need to make continuing professional development relevant and integrated for an organization.
There is a renaissance in the ways we work, the likes of which we haven’t seen since the introduction of management as a discipline, except perhaps the ideas of flow after World War II.
The flagship is the Agile movement, which has escaped IT and is now transforming organizations, government, and society. But Agile is too narrow a portmanteau, so we call the movement as a whole Human Systems Agility, to embrace all the concepts involved.
In this presentation we’ll explore this human aspect, one that is desperately needed in most IT cultures, through some of our practical experiences.

The major criteria standing in the way of agile adoption or improvement are in the hands of managers, not the teams themselves. But many managers have been trained to think in ways that are a century old.
Agile organisations require a new mode of management and a new style of leadership. This talk discusses why this is and what this new paradigm might be like for your organisation.

What is Mindful Agile Leadership? It’s the perfect balance of 3 essential elements: Agile Mindset; Mindfulness and Servant Leadership.
These 3 pillars of mindful agile leadership are equally important. Just like the legs of a stool, they provide a stable base encompassing the qualities of all 3 elements. This enables leaders to build a truly agile culture and positive team environment and be a more effective and authentic agile leader.

Games and a Design Thinking Approach to Agile transition help adopt agile practices in various contexts, business areas, projects types and countries.
This presentation is an introduction to Design Thinking and Innovation games and a feedback session from a large-scale agile deployment in one of the largest retail bank in the world. This approach puts design thinking and innovation games at its core as a means to adapt the deployment to the targeted organizational context. Games are design thinker tools that helps us facilitate adoption and ownership of new agile practices in various business areas, projects types and countries. More than seven countries were involved and we were able to collect a large amount of valuable information to support the scaled adoption in a short period. The result of our action opened new possibilities to engage people and experiment better ways to work!

Workplace learning loses unless we engage learnersBert De Coutere
In today’s workplace, we support our employees to be engaged and active learners. In a constantly changing business environment, constant learning makes our careers and our businesses future-proof. The reality however is different from the dream: in today’s workplace we are busy being busy, and learning loses out - often unintentionally. In this session for anyone involved in corporate learning, we will together: - assess the reality of today’s workplace learning: - explore the bad habits and biases that stand in the way of learning more: - get inspiration to set up experiments to engage our learners for action.

Agile Transformations, the Good, the Bad and the UglyRally Software
The good, the bad and the ugly side of real life agile transformations. Wanda will share with you common challenges experienced by organisations during their agile journeys and provide you with key learnings that you can adopt within your own company.
The way to teach and deploy Lean and Six Sigma is broken. Here is how to fix this situation by applying Deming principles.
Presented at the 2015 International Deming Research Seminar, Washington, DC on 24 March 2015.
A multitude of students, instructors and practitioners of current improvement (C.I.) methods like Lean and Six Sigma learn a fraction of what they need, ignore the best ways to apply it, and dismiss whatever they have not being taught.
For example, some companies will “only do Lean” while others “will only do Six Sigma”.
This partial understanding of the C.I. methods is the natural result of fractioning a body of knowledge and the inward focus of the keepers of each method.
Thus, it is common to find a Six Sigma black belt who ignores the notion of the company as a system and a Lean practitioner who is not schooled in statistical analysis of any kind. Both miss on much useful knowledge which would make their efforts far more effective.
Worse still, managers and leaders unaware of Deming principles, launch programs of transformation which involve others in the organization while keeping themselves “safely away.”

Micro-Video + Manager Training = High-Performing EmployeesBizLibrary
Congratulations! You’ve developed the greatest training program ever. The content is ideally suited to your business problems, the technology works and the employees seem to like it. There’s only one problem: Nobody knows what to do with it when they return to their jobs.
We need our employees to learn, retain and then apply what they learn to reach higher levels of performance. But how many times do we fail to see the ROI we expect? How many times do we fail to see really good content applied on the job? How many times do we have to go back to the CFO and explain why the ROI we expected never materialized?
Join us for this complimentary TrainingIndustry.com webinar sponsored by BizLibrary. Your host, Erin Boettge, content marketing manager at BizLibary, will provide easy-to-understand insights on:
How to help employees apply their learning and improve job performance
The manager’s role in employee retention and training ROI
How microlearning is a great tool for helping employees acquire skills just when they need them
UX Field Research Toolkit - Updated for Big Design 2018Kelly Moran

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

5. System Thinking
• Systems thinking has been defined as an
approach to problem solving, by viewing
"problems" as parts of an overall system, rather
than reacting to specific part, outcomes or
events and potentially contributing to further
development of unintended consequences.
Systems thinking is not one thing but a set of
habits or practices[2] within a framework that is
based on the belief that the component parts of
a system can best be understood in the context
of relationships with each other and with other
systems, rather than in isolation
