Strategies for Sustainable Business and Corporate Responsibility - Bill MarquardSustainable Brands
Bill discusses how businesses can reshape and advance their sustainability & csr programs by focusing on profit AND social responsibility. Existing paradigms like the triple bottom line and even newer business models like for-profit social enterprises, according to Bill, further support this cognitive split that businesses can't be good. Various examples of strategic approaches that go from philanthropy (cost-driven) to core business (profit-driven) are given, including Danone, Allsup, and others. Sources of competitive ANDvantage like market development and product innovation are also explained. There is a better path.

How to grow your organization resilience and anti-fragilityAndrea Tomasini
Bringing agility to an organizational level requires a set of new skills and practices to emerge. While we have plenty of example on how agility can impact teams performance, by adopting well proven practices, there is still a lot of uncertainty in what to bring to an organizational level. Inspecting and adapting as an organization requires different structures and a more strategic approach, if we want to maximize the learning effect. Chaotic and uncontrolled experimentation and local adaptations can rapidly tear an organization apart. Focus on value and customers are important to set a common direction, but to roll out a shared strategy we need a solid and coherent cultural context, or the strategy will fail. Explicitly measuring and designing culture is a key enabler towards agility and can provide incredible advantages to an organization development. Understanding how to lead such change and enabling people to participate in creating rapid value, is the one thing that might save your company in the rough waters of today's market... Are you ready for the challenge?

Planning, scaling and flowing within your agile organizationDimitri Ponomareff
Organizational agility has been defined as the ability of an organization to effectively sense and adapt in complex, rapidly changing conditions so that it can thrive as an organization. In order to achieve great agility, organizations must have a Plan to achieve specific results, define an ideal way to Scale the way they work, and be fully transparent in the way they Flow the work across the organization. In this presentation, we will look at the 5 levels of planning in Agile, various models to scale Agile within an organization and simple ways to visualize the flow of work based on empirical data and innovation accounting.

Organizational agility has been defined as the capability of a company to rapidly change or adapt in response to changes in the market so that it can thrive as an organization. In this session, we will focus on the role of the leader in shaping, promoting and sustaining an Agile organization. We will describe the Agile Mindset, discuss the key elements of an Agile Transformation and reveal the ideal characteristics of an Agile Leader. This interactive session will provide examples from successful Agile organizations and will reveal techniques that participants can use to effectively plan, scale and flow valuable work throughout their own organizations.
Troubled projects have been part of the IT environment since the beginning. When a project is big enough to require a formal project turnaround rather than just jumping in to fix things, it is critical to recognize that the work to recover the troubled project is itself a project. Transparency is required to understand what is wrong and decisions must be made based on the certain knowledge of what has been completed. Once the project has been re-defined, re-estimated and re-planned, the project must then be focused on the newly agreed upon work to ensure that the new expectations are met. Combining Agile management and testing techniques have proven to be a powerful method for addressing troubled projects by providing the intimacy and transparency that siloed techniques generally cannot.
Maximising teamwork in delivering software productsRyan Dawson
Maximising teamwork has a big impact on effectiveness but it isn’t easy. Agile alone doesn’t guarantee this. Getting everyone working towards a shared vision requires a level of teamwork beyond just methodology. It requires everyone to challenge themselves, come out of their silos, build trust and be disciplined about improvement.
Specialisation can lead to barriers to teamwork. This talk will use ‘The Five Dysfunctions of a Team’ to see how to build a culture of openness and teamwork. We'll see how some challenges are different for different roles. We’ll see routes to improvement for the team by looking at each role through the lens of its main biases and how to correct for them.
Agile is a philosophy for delivering solutions that embraces and promotes evolutionary change throughout the life-cycle of a product. Many teams and organizations have been using Agile to, deliver software more timely, increase quality, and ultimately increase customer satisfaction.
These planning levels were originally described by Hubert Smits in the whitepaper "5 Levels of Agile Planning: From Enterprise Product Vision to Team Stand-up".
Ever feel discouraged by the impediments, setbacks, and struggles that come from leading change? If you created a backlog to address each challenge, would it seem a mile long? Allison and Tim share the improvement kata model so you can lead groups in focusing on the next problem to solve and owning change for themselves.Continuous improvement is a journey rather than a destination. Come hear examples of how an improvement kata approach has enabled change at the team and organizational levels through small actions. Learn how you can apply katas in your organization.

Can I become a leader ? YES anyone can learn leadership skills and can become successful in leading others. That is not to say that its easy. Nor is there a simple program of training that will transform you from a supervisor into a chief executive, from an employee with big ideas into a billionaire entrepreneur, or from an athlete into a an inspirational coach.
But to become a leader, like most things it takes effort and application, practice, dedication and the courage to change yourself in order to try things, to experiment, to risk making mistakes and risk failures.
Leadership is not always intentional. People often follow the example of someone in authority.even though that person doesn’t want them to. Consider the leadership set by parents to their children when they say “don’t interrupt when I’m talking” but regularly interrupt each other or their children during conversation.
This is a critical lesson for leaders and for those who aspire to leadership: those you are leading may follow your example (good and bad) and ignore your exhortations.
The true measure of leadership is not the boldness of your intentions, the quality of your presentations and speeches, the strengths of your relationships with people, or the success in moving people to follow your lead.
Leadership is about getting people to achieve new things, and therefore largely about change, about inspiring, helping and, sometimes enforcing, change in people. Above are five critical areas identified by leadership experts critical in being successful in leadership.
No matter how much conviction you have, no matter how rapidly and effectively you mobilize your employees and get them to commit to achieving aspiration goals, no matter what risks you take - if you fail to channel the available energy of a group of employees into tasks that make a difference, that make things happen, then you will have failed the toughest test of leadership.
It is the leadership skills of generating things to happen at a great scale that enable you to push your employees beyond simply starting new initiatives (but never finishing them), or working on multiple tasks( that are uncoordinated), or putting enormous effort into activities (but the wrong activities) . This also requires you to influence employees to get them to do things that they may not to do, to join you in achieving something that is not self-evidently in their own interest, to adjust their viewpoint or their ideas and fall behind you.
Employees, especially the younger generation of employees are less likely or inclined to take a job for life,and have high expectation, Psychology research has identified that they respond poorly to command and control. Their creativity and their response to customers are better released through influence, persuasion and involvement.
Spending quite time alone in focused thinking about an issue, activity of problem. It gives you an opportunity to review an activity, to clarify learnings; to become aware of feelings, emotional reactions, and concerns; and to think about potential implications and applications. The following questions are designed for reflection( They also maybe used for subgroup discussions following the reflection period, if appropriate) Write the questions on a flip chart or create a handout sheet. Then read the questions aloud and ask the participant to reflect on them and write down notes about their thoughts and responses. As you read the questions, use examples, such as:
How actively have you participated in the course activities thus far? ( for example, were you talking to quitely, were you always talkative, were you more of a leader or a follower, did you take initiative.)
How did you feel about your degree of participation?
Would you have liked to have been more involved or taken more initiative.
What did you learn about yourself.
What is one way in which you might take initiative in your job?
How comfortable do you feel about doing that? Why or Why not?
According to leadership theory, leadership does not rest only one one person…Leadership functions are those activities that enable a group to accomplish its task, and that can be performed by everyone in a group. This theory sees the leader in a group as any person who helps the group to fulfill its needs by seeing what needs to be done and taking the initiative to do what is necessary to accomplish the task.
This is called a “Functional Approach” to leadership and its emphasizes that any and all its members may perform specific leadership and it emphasizes that any and all members may perform specific leadership acts of functions such as stating a goal, summarizing, or encouraging others to speak.
Some leaders can become so risk-averse, on the basis of a single uncomfortable experience and merely just blend into the culture of the enterprise.
Conflict exists in all human social interaction. It is widely assumed to be a bad thing. Certainly many types of conflict involving personal hostility or disputes within and between teams about identity or values can be destructive. and yet there are greater dangers in avoiding or suppressing conflict
Clearly, these are all benefits that leaders would like. And, indeed, it is easy to think of intractable problems-for example, poor integration of different business units that are supposed to be working seamlessly together to service customers-that need dramatic action to flush out dysfunctional and entrenched processes, ways of working and behavior. Unfortunately, the notion of conflict escalation is counterintuitive. It doesn’t seem to make sense. Deliberately stimulating conflict is aversive for us, in the short-term at least: it produces stress, might lead to resistance, additional effort, delays, awkwardness and embarrassment. These are obvious costs rather than benefits, and they’re all genuine concerns. But they are short-term concerns. Remember, leadership must look to the longer–term – not exclusively, but predominantly.
Stimulating individuals to define where they stand, thereby building mutual understanding between different groups;
Discouraging avoidance behavior (such as pretending a problem doesn’t exist or that everything is OK when it really isn’t);
Preventing premature solutions, which achieve only half-cocked, impoverished or unintended results
Another aspect of conflict that we need to understand is that at the individual level conflict can boost performance But if escalated too much, it can create paralysis.
The best way to illustrate this is to use the bell-shaped curve that psychologists use to demonstrate how human performance begins to improve as the intensity of conflict rises.
However, when conflict gets too high, people become paralyzed: they retreat to more rigid patterns of behavior, they think in a more constrained way, consider fewer options or alternatives and tend to see threats when there may be none.
