Design Thinking vs. Lean Startup: Friends or Foes?Tathagat Varma
My talk at #AgileIndia2017 on what are the similarities and strengths of Design Thinking and Lean Startup, and where and how we could use them more effectively.
Telecommuting and distributed working is a growing trend. Gallup says 37% percent of U.S. workers telecommuted in 2015, up from just 9% in 1995. However, most organizations have not adjusted their talent management practices to accommodate (or optimize) distributed teams. Get practical examples for building successful culture, teamwork and engagement across all aspects of HR and across the globe.
This was a presentation for the Northern California HR Association Global Workforce Conference in September 2016.
Conference talk at Plone Conference 2019 in Ferrara, Italy.
A traditional client-to-service provider work relationship is predicated on a hierarchy in which the needs and wishes of the client take precedence over all other considerations. In a rapidly paced work world under the increasing influence of accelerated technological change, such a traditional approach can have detrimental effects on the wellbeing of employees. The question with which service providers today must grapple is: How can we maintain our customer focus and ensure continued customer satisfaction while at the same time protecting the wellbeing of our team members?
The concept of “New Work” offers several suggestions for how to reconcile these seemingly competing needs. New Work encompasses a wealth of theories and methods relating to the organization of work, from self-organization to agility and modern leadership, to new work spaces, among many others. In this talk, we focus on our experience with implementing one such concept.

Developing Digital Mindsets - Fiona Phillips (ThoughtWorks Live)Thoughtworks
The modern digital era demands a more responsive and insight-driven approach to the way we run our business, with technology becoming more and more at the heart of value creation. It requires technology and business leaders to let go of their job titles and bring their domain expertise together to remain relevant in today's complex adaptive system.
Very few people come ready with the complete package required for digital transformation, so how do you develop the right skills and mindset to develop digital leadership within yourself and across your teams?

Developing a digital mindset for non digital leaders: Fiona PhillipsThoughtworks
Forrester’s The Sorry State of Digital Transformation in 2018 reports that in 37% of companies, CIOs lead digital transformation projects, the largest cohort out of the C-Suite. Why is such an important process in the evolution of the company still in the hands of the CIO alone, when it is clearly a critical component of the broader business strategy and its success?
The modern digital era now demands that technology leaders become product owners and business executives understand how technology can be a key driver of how the business operates, delivers and grows. It’s within that tight integration that the transformative magic of digital can happen and add value back to the business and its customers.
Key Takeaways: Fiona will draw on her first-hand experience leading very complex transformation agendas within the banking, insurance and telco sectors to share how leaders can learn from technologists and why mindset needs to be at the heart of an organisation’s value creation.

Exploring the role product and design plays in helping organizations advance efforts to build and shape inclusive cultures where talent can thrive.
We all know that adhering to the principles of Agile can bring benefits to an individual, team or organisation. However, whilst Agile methods can help in realising those benefits, they can also bring a lot of danger to their users.
In this session discover what those risks are, how to avoid them, and the advice we should give others when they embark on an Agile journey.
In addition to presenting topics such as “Overcoming dogma”, “Why we can’t just RTFM”, and “Are we Agile yet?”, he will highlight how these sometimes comical observations can cause real damage to an organisation, fostering further debate and discussion.
Tom Howlett A managers guide to working with self organising teamsAgileCymru
An agile team that finds its groove is precious. A group of smart diverse people, passionate about their shared purpose, openly collaborating and continually experimenting can do amazing things. They don’t need managing in the traditional sense so what can leaders/managers who work with these teams do to help them?
In this workshop we’ll explore how managers can add huge amount of value to self-managing teams without compromising their creativity and spirit.
More often than not, the investment in innovation fails to deliver the promised results. Everyone starts off excited. But after a while, we are all dressed up with nowhere to go. All paths up are different. Nevertheless, there’s a set of practices and principles that allow you to navigate through uncertainty faster in order to create value from ideas – starting today. In this session we will share with you how some of our forward-thinking customers are using innovation management to move their businesses forward.
These are the slides from a talk given on March 4, 2012 at the Harvard Business School Entrepreneurship Conference. It summarizes ten key lessons in being a great product leader from over a decade of experience in consumer software.

The Essential Product Owner - Partnering with the teamCprime
Bob Galen shares real-world stories where he’s seen “effectively partnered” teams and Product Owners truly deliver balanced value for their business stakeholders. In this session he’ll show you how story mapping and release planning can truly set the stage for effective team workflow—establishing a “Big Picture” for everyone to shoot for. How establishing shared goals, both at the iteration and release levels, truly cements the partnership between team and Product Owner. And finally, how setting a tempo of regular, focused backlog grooming sessions establishes a mechanism for the team and Product Owner to explore well-nuanced and high value backlogs.

SEMPO KC Presentation - It May Have to Be YouBrody Dorland
In late October 2016, I had the opportunity to present on the topic of "Building a Better Process" for the Kansas City Chapter of the Search Engine Marketing Professionals Organization (SEMPO). With a room evenly split between paid and organic search marketing pros, it was a bit of a challenge for me to put my SEO hat back on (it's been a while) and think about the process that these folks execute every day.
Thankfully, the search marketing world has converged and silo walls are being torn down. The days of a "search team" or "the guy who does search" are numbered. In many organizations, search is an integrated part of the strategic conversation and the practices of keyword research and optimization are becoming important components of the content process.
That being said, there's more work to be done. Many companies aren't there yet. Perhaps those companies just need to understand why they should be making search marketing a bigger priority. And perhaps they need some guidance as to how to integrate search marketing practices into their current process. That's my focus with this presentation. Enjoy!

Artificial intelligence (AI) offers new opportunities to radically reinvent the way we do business. This study explores how CEOs and top decision makers around the world are responding to the transformative potential of AI.
The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.
