Translating Strategy into Action with Enterprise Architecture WebinarPlanview
Jeff Ellerbee, Solutions Marketing Manager, Troux and author and former Gartner analyst Mark McGregor as they discuss why and how Enterprise Architects need to work closely with portfolio and project managers in order to deliver on the intended strategy.
Many enterprise architects mis-understand their business value and need ways to elevate EA in the eyes of their business colleagues. While most portfolio and project managers in an organization can easily recite their company strategy they are challenged to understand the meaning of that strategy and how it affects the choices they make. By working together enterprise architecture provide the meaning the PMO needs while closing the gap between the strategy and action that both groups need if they are to succeed in enabling the business to achieve its objectives.
Specifically learn how;
- The ideal connection points between enterprise architecture and the PMO work.
- Failure to increase cooperation could spell the end for both your EA and PMO initiatives.
- Planview is delivering cloud based solutions that address the needs of both architecture teams and the PMO individually and together.

The Leader's Path to Effective Processes & ToolsNavvia
Leaders know that the journey is far more important than the destination – but they also know that without quantifiable success it is hard to stay the course and remain on the path to delivering value.
To achieve effective ITSM processes and tools a leader must journey to the exclusive realms of:
Cost: Delivering a cost-effective program that saves money
Engagement: Ensuring everyone is onboard and heading in the same direction
Requirements: Understanding the needs of both IT and the business, then acting upon them
Accountability: Making sure everyone stays the course, so value is sustained
In this presentation, David will share his practical experience as a leader and discuss methods to ensure your ITSM program delivers real and sustainable benefits.
Whether you are just starting your program, or are right in the middle of an ITSM tool implementation, there will be plenty of actionable takeaways from this session to help you stay on track.

Power Your PMO with the Adaptive Enterprise Stephen Parry
Business is evolving. Today’s customer expects an instant response to their demands. Today’s executive expects the PMO to deliver with unprecedented speed and accuracy. The name of the game is adaptability – not predictability.
Annual planning and cumbersome project lifecycles are no longer enough to meet these challenges. A new mindset is needed – one that enables the PMO to constantly evaluate and innovate as opportunities emerge, adding business value beyond tasks and processes.
Join this webinar with internationally renowned Author, Keynote Speaker and Change Architect, Stephen Parry at Lloyd Parry International and Carina Hatfield CPA, Senior Product Manager at Planview, to explore:
How to create an adaptive PMO that flexes to the speed of change
How to build a PMO that is responsive to the business need
How to promote executive confidence, even in times of uncertainty
How to create budgets, plans and resource maps that deliver the strategy but respond to the reality
How to partner with the business and become an Enterprise PMO
Engaging your Employees through a Compelling Organizational VisionTalentMap
Do you know the single, most important, factor in determining how engaged your employees are? Compensation? Teamwork? Feedback and Recognition? Nope. All wrong. It’s seeing a clear link between one’s work and the organization’s long-term objectives, i.e. its vision. Employees need to feel part of something greater than themselves; they want and need to be on board with the big picture. Yet so many organizations struggle to get this one right, but when they do, employee engagement goes through the roof!
AMPLIFY | Customer Engagement is a powerful customer value creation methodology available to mid-market companies seeing to gain a foothold on increasing customer loyalty, engagement, revenue and profitability growth, product development success and employee engagement.
Benefits of Lean IT and it's importance.
The world is a merry-go-round and you can't get off. Customers are becoming more demanding, markets are becoming more customised, and product life-cycles that are getting shorter are just a few of the reasons why Lean could be important to you. As the demands on our processes increase they evolve and adapt accordingly which often results in processes that end up inefficient and wasteful. Lean is about challenging the way things are done and opening our eyes to that waste and inefficiency. The environment in which an organization operates will continue to change; Lean can help organizations meet the challenge.
Lean can provide an organization with a clear competitive advantage since the correct application of the Lean principles will realise substantial benefits that include:
- Greater productivity
- Greater throughput
- Improved quality
- Reduced cycle times
- Less fire-fighting
- Smoother operation
- Reduced operating costs

The Importance of Centralizing Your Diversity and Affirmative Action Program ...Human Capital Media
If you have, or plan to have, a diversity and/or affirmative action program, there could be both internal or external pressures — such as increasingly stringent OFCCP audits — to properly document all records. It’s not always easy to have all the information and documentation readily accessible through manual recordkeeping.
Consequently, it’s now more important than ever to find an automated solution that creates a centralized place for all your documentation.
Participants will learn how to:
Eliminate manual recordkeeping.
Implement effective recordkeeping practices to make sure you’re prepared to answer internal questions or external audits.
Improve the effectiveness of outreach with an automated good faith efforts manager.
Allow your business managers to focus more on securing the right talent for your company, and less on administrative recordkeeping.
Over the years agile became a common way of software development. More and more companies adopt to the agile manifesto.
But there are some challenges on the way to become an agile organization. One is the question of how to deal with financial planning. The previous answer was: Budgeting. But butgeting does not scale with the velocity of agile projects. The idea to solve this problem exists much longer then the idea of agile itself: Go Beyond Budgeting.
There has been a lot of interest about Agile in recent years, mainly due to the success in the IT industry; however there is a lot of interest in applying the Agile methods to other types of environment, not just IT.
This conference uncovered some of the myths around Agile, discussed how Agile can be scaled to large complex projects, looked at case studies, talked about Lean Agile and fed back what governments think about Agile.
The presentations sparked some interesting debates, even between the speakers, but soon some common themes started to emerge from each of the presentation.
Agile is not a methodology – it is a way of thinking. There are Agile methods, ranging from project management methods to software development methods but the agile manifesto, which was mentioned almost be every speaker, does not actual prescribe anything.
Being agile is not an excuse to avoid doing things, like planning and risk management. Being agile has a lot of parallels to Lean – you do what needs to be done, no more and no less.
Agile is not new, Julius Caesar used agile, he just did not call it agile. There are a number of companies and projects who are agile, but did not realise it and jumped on the band wagon when a name was given to their behaviour.
Agile is about giving your customer what they want, regardless of what it says in the contract - they have the right to change their minds. Agile is about people and collaboration, not the processes or tools although these do help to be more agile.
After lunch, we had a presentation from Project Place and learnt about their latest collaboration tools, including KANBAN boards. The idea is not new, Toyota have been using them for decades, but they have been given a new digital face lift.
Finally, thank you to our sponsors Project Place, DSDM and APMG, to the speakers for giving up the valuable time for free, and to Anna and Nigel for their support in pulling the event together.

Public Speaking Tips to Help You Be A Strong Leader.pdfPinta Partners
In the realm of effective leadership, a multitude of skills come into play, but one stands out as both crucial and challenging: public speaking.
Public speaking transcends mere eloquence; it serves as the medium through which leaders articulate their vision, inspire action, and foster engagement. For leaders, refining public speaking skills is essential, elevating their ability to influence, persuade, and lead with resolute conviction.

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.

So Why Should you use a KanBan board to organise your work efforts?
Multi-tasking for some has become a new activity in and of itself.
Certain employers even require “multi-tasking” as a skill.
And most multi-taskers out there truly believe they can efficiently handle several tasks at the same time.
But is it really possible? We’d like to think so. Except that the scientific research on the subject is categorical: human beings are not physiologically wired (at this point in time) to perform more than one task at the time. It is simply impossible neurologically.
You can Google this, it is a very popular subject with a lot of research around.
Cognitive impairment – lätt minnesförlust , en kognitiv försämring. Tro mig jag är mästare på detta; min mamma brukar säga till mig; ”det man inte har i huvudet får man ha i benen... ” ....Och jag har sprungit, det kan jag lova! Detta är självupplevt!
So, How can you limit your work in progress?
Lean & Agile and Kanban are concepts that are a part of the same management megatrend.
Yes, it is a megatrend due to that it has been going on for more than 30 years.
Nonlinear management (NLM) is a superset of management techniques and strategies that allows order to emerge by giving organizations the space to rapidly self-organize, evolve and adapt, encompassing Agile, "evolutionary" and "lean" approaches, flextime, time banking, as well as many others. Key aspects of NLM, including holism, evolutionary design or delivery, and self-organization are diametrically opposite to linear management thinking within classic “scientific management”.
Lets look at some of the most important values and principles.....>
This values and principles are derived from best practice.
En annan typ av Kanban…
….väldigt förenklat så är Kanban bara ett signalsystem
What is a Kanban board?
Kanban is derived from the Japanese words:
kan = visual signal, ban = card
Originated from The Toyota Production System Kaizen/Kanban/ Lean production, lean product development
What is so special with the ”to-do-board”? A to-do-list with columns?
In the late 1940s, Toyota found a better engineering process from an unlikely source: the supermarket. They noticed that store clerks restocked a grocery item by their store’s inventory, not their vendor’s supply.
Only when an item was near sellout did the clerks order more. The grocers’ “just-in-time” delivery process sparked Toyota engineers to rethink their methods and pioneer a new approach—a Kanban system—that would match inventory with demand and achieve higher levels of quality and throughput.
So how’d they do all that?
In simplest terms, by better communication through visual management.
Kanban is Japanese for “visual signal” or “card.” Toyota line-workers used a kanban (i.e., an actual card) to signal steps in their manufacturing process. The system’s highly visual nature allowed teams to communicate more easily on what work needed to be done and when. It also standardized cues and refined processes, which helped to reduce waste and maximize value.
Toyota introduced and refined the use of kanban in a relay system to standardize the flow of parts in their production lines in the 1950s.
Kanban was one of several tools Toyota developed to ensure that inventory was based on actual customer orders rather than managerial forecasts. (See lean production.)
Kanban starts with the customer’s order and follows production downstream. Because all requests for parts are pulled from the order, kanban is sometimes referred to as a "pull" system.
1. Visualize Work
By creating a visual model of your work and workflow, you can observe the flow of work moving through your Kanban system. Making the work visible—along with blockers, bottlenecks and queues—instantly leads to increased communication and collaboration.
2. Limit Work in Process
By limiting how much unfinished work is in process, you can reduce the time it takes an item to travel through the Kanban system. You can also avoid problems caused by task switching and reduce the need to constantly reprioritize items.
3. Focus on Flow
By using work-in-process (WIP) limits and developing team-driven policies, you can optimize your Kanban system to improve the smooth flow of work, collect metrics to analyze flow, and even get leading indicators of future problems by analyzing the flow of work.
4. Continuous Improvement (Kontinuerlig förbättring)
Once your Kanban system is in place, it becomes the cornerstone for a culture of continuous improvement. Teams measure their effectiveness by tracking flow, quality, throughput, lead times and more. Experiments and analysis can change the system to improve the team’s effectiveness.
Agile software companies has since developed the digital kanban board and this way to organize and execute work is now common practice within Agile and Lean.
Kanban accomplishes these things by introducing constraints into the system to optimize the flow of value.
Flow is king.
Just remember that you want to focus on the flow of VALUE! If you have great flow but what’s being sent through isn’t valuable then your work has been for naught.
If you can’t get your business value flowing out the door consistently, your business is not performing optimally.
In addition to the above, by focusing on flow, Kanban resets your brain to value finishing over starting.
Stop starting and start finishing!
It sounds like common sense right?
Well, if you’re like most developers you have been conditioned into associated your value by what you have started.
Kanban reminds you to stop starting and start finishing!
Kanban has 9 things you need to know. They are broken down into four basic principles (how you need to think) and five for properties (what you need to do).
Basic Principles
1) Start with what you do now
The Kanban method does not prescribe a certain setup or procedure. You can overlay Kanban properties on top of your existing workflow or process to bring your issues to light so that you can introduce positive change over time. This makes it very easy to begin a Kanban implementation as you do not have to make sweeping changes.
2) Agree to pursue incremental, evolutionary change
The Kanban method is an approach to change management that is designed to meet minimal resistance. Therefore it encourages continuous small incremental and evolutionary changes to your current system. Sweeping changes are discouraged because they generally encounter increased resistance due to fear or uncertainty. I call it “baby steps to awesomeness!”
3) Respect the current process, roles, responsibilities & titles
Kanban recognizes that there may be value in the existing process, roles, responsibilities, & titles. You have existing pieces in they way you do what you do that are working properly and worth preserving. Kanban doesn’t prohibit change, but it doesn’t prescribe it either. If you do make changes, Kanban encourages incremental change. Incremental change doesn’t create the level of fear that impedes progress, which allows you to be broader support for your Kanban implementation. It also makes it easier to implement Kanban. Small course corrections are also just inherently easier than altering the complete process.
The first three principles were chosen specifically to avoid emotional resistance to change – David J Anderson
4) Encourage acts of leadership at all levels
Say hello to the newest Kanban method basic principle! It is something that is espoused in many methodologies and the Kanban method is no exception. You don’t need to be a team lead or an executive to be a leader. Some of the best leadership comes from everyday acts from people on the front line of their respective teams. Everyone needs to be fostering a mindset of continual improvement (kaizen) to reach your optimal performance as a team/department/company. This can’t be a management level activity.
And is this not just for technical stuff? Thing engineers are doing?

Instead of trying to do several things at once—and often none of them well—Hammerness and Moore suggest what they call set shifting. This means consciously and completely shifting your attention from one task to the next, and focusing on the task at hand. Giving your full attention to what you are doing will help you do it better, with more creativity and fewer mistakes or missed connections. Set shifting is a sign of brain fitness and agility, say the authors.
The idea is to create a greater momentum for the teams by limiting the number of things they work on simultaneously. To understand the theory behind this we only have to look at a traffic system. As the number of vehicles increase, the speed of all vehicles decreases. In the same way, if we have too many jobs in progress all of them will be slowed. If we instead limit the number of cards that we work on at the same time we will increase the speed of all the work. Some hard core believers would say that you must have a limit of two (2) items in your “working on” column. What do you think?
Here is one of the original kanban boards in Toyota..
- The digital board works as a gathering point for the team to discuss current issues, problems and ”wins” to reach consensus and increase engagement.
The projection psychological effect, uncomfortable feelings are more easy to handle when they are ”projected on a shared board”. (Talk about death).
”projection involves imagining or projecting faults onto something else, than your own thoughts and feelings”
Its all about efficiency through efficient behavior! The REAL key to succeeding with projects --------------
To explain what is happening here we need both traditional psykology and new behaviour science.
Psycology:
The Zeigarnik Effect promotes follow-through and
Behaviour Science:
Positive feedback from your peers re-enforces the beheviour.
---->The zeigarnic effect –
It's called the Zeigarnik effect after a Russian psychologist, Bluma Zeigarnik , who noticed an odd thing while sitting in a restaurant in Vienna. The waiters seemed only to remember orders which were in the process of being served. When completed, the orders evaporated from their memory.
(The Zeigarnik effect has an important exception. It doesn't work so well when we're not particularly motivated to achieve our goal or don't expect to do well. This is true of goals in general: when they're unattractive or impossible we don't bother with them.)
But if we value the goal and think it's possible, just taking a first step could be the difference between failure and success.
Action creates clarity!
