An Outcome Measurement Model: Is your Agile Adoption Moving the Needle?Cprime
The Version One Annual State of Agile survey indicates that 94% of organizations are practicing Agile in one way, shape, or form.
But what might this investment yield besides an Agile label? In many cases, it appears that organization leaders cannot produce concrete data to meet this ask, or articulate the gain clearly using measures that count and impact the bottom line.
One solution is to begin with the desired outcomes driving the adoption and identify both leading and lagging indicators to gauge whether the change initiative is moving the needle and impacting the bottom line. This approach has been successful because it creates alignment and accountability.
Join Michael McCalla, technology leader, transformation specialist, avid agile practitioner and founder of Lean Agile Intelligence, for this interactive session, and learn how this outcome measurement model can help you start changing the conversation!

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

65. Conflict 101 – The Basics
A conflict is more than just a disagreement.
It is a situation in which one or both parties perceive
a threat (whether or not the threat is real).
Conflicts continue to fester when ignored. Because conflicts involve
perceived threats to our well-being and survival, they stay with us until we face
and resolve them.
We respond to conflicts based on our perceptions of the situation, not
necessarily to an objective review of the facts. Our perceptions are influenced
by our life experiences, culture, values, and beliefs.
Conflicts trigger strong emotions. If you aren’t comfortable with your
emotions or able to manage them in times of stress, you won’t be able to
resolve conflict successfully.
Conflicts are opportunities for growth. When you’re able to resolve conflict
in a relationship, it builds trust. You can feel secure knowing your relationship
can survive challenges and disagreements.
http://www.helpguide.org/articles/relationships/conflict-resolution-skills.htm
66. Healthy & unhealthy ways of managing & resolving conflict
Unhealthy responses to conflict: Healthy responses to conflict
An inability to recognize & respond to
the things that matter to the other
person
The capacity to recognize & respond
to the things that matter to the other
person
Explosive, angry, hurtful, & resentful
reactions
Calm, non-defensive & respectful
reactions
The withdrawal of love, resulting in
rejection, isolation, shaming, & fear of
abandonment
A readiness to forgive & forget,
& to move past the conflict without
holding resentments or anger
An inability to compromise or see the
other person’s side
The ability to seek compromise &
avoid punishing
Fear and avoidance of conflict; an
expectation of bad outcomes
A belief that facing conflict head on
is the best thing for both sides
Conflict resolution, Stress, & Emotions
http://www.helpguide.org/articles/relationships/conflict-resolution-skills.htm
67. • Manage stress quickly while remaining alert and calm. By staying
calm, you can accurately read and interpret verbal and nonverbal
communication.
• Control your emotions and behavior. When you’re in control of your
emotions, you can communicate your needs without threatening,
frightening, or punishing others.
• Pay attention to the feelings being expressed as well as the spoken
words of others.
• Be aware of and respectful of differences. By avoiding disrespectful
words and actions, you can almost always resolve a problem faster.
The ability to successfully resolve
conflict depends on your ability to:
http://www.helpguide.org/articles/relationships/conflict-resolution-skills.htm
68. Core Conflict Resolution Skills
Quick stress relief: The first core conflict resolution skill
Being able to manage and relieve stress in the moment is the key to staying balanced,
focused, and in control, no matter what challenges you face. If you don’t know how
to stay centered and in control of yourself, you will become overwhelmed in conflict
situations and unable to respond in healthy ways.
Emotional awareness: The second core conflict resolution skill
Emotional awareness is the key to understanding yourself and others. If you don’t
know how you feel or why you feel that way, you won’t be able to communicate
effectively or resolve disagreements.
Knowing your own feelings may sound simple, however, many people ignore or try
to sedate strong emotions like anger, sadness, and fear.
Your ability to handle conflict, however, depends on being connected to these
feelings. If you’re afraid of strong emotions or if you insist on finding solutions that
are strictly rational, your ability to face and resolve differences will be impaired.
http://www.helpguide.org/articles/relationships/conflict-resolution-skills.htm
69. Core Conflict Resolution Skills
http://www.helpguide.org/articles/relationships/conflict-resolution-skills.htm
Nonverbal communication & conflict resolution
The most important information exchanged during conflicts
and arguments is often communicated nonverbally.
Nonverbal communication is conveyed by emotionally
driven facial expressions, posture, gesture, pace, tone
and intensity of voice.
Using humor in conflict resolution
Once stress & emotion are brought into balance your capacity for joy, pleasure &
playfulness is unleashed. Joy is a deceptively powerful resource. Studies show that
you can surmount adversity, as long as you continue to have moments of joy. Humor
plays a similar role when facing conflict.
You can avoid many confrontations & resolve arguments and disagreements by
communicating in a humorous way. Humor can help you say things that might
otherwise be difficult to express without offending someone. However, it’s
important that you laugh with the other person, not at them.
When humor & play are used to reduce tension & anger, reframe problems, & put
the situation into perspective, the conflict can actually become an opportunity for
greater connection & intimacy.

6 Tips for managing and resolving conflict
Managing & resolving conflict requires the ability to
Quickly reduce stress and bring your emotions into
balance. You can ensure that the process is as positive
as possible by sticking to the following guidelines:
1. Listen for what is felt as well as said.
When we listen we connect more deeply to our own needs and emotions, and to
those of other people. Listening also strengthens us, informs us, and makes it easier
for others to hear us when it's our turn to speak.
2. Make conflict resolution the priority rather than winning or "being right.“
Maintaining & strengthening the relationship, rather than “winning” the argument,
should always be your first priority. Be respectful of the other person and his or her
viewpoint.
3. Focus on the present.
If you’re holding on to grudges based on past resentments, your ability to see the
reality of the current situation will be impaired. Rather than looking to the past &
assigning blame, focus on what you can do in the here-and-now to solve the problem.
71. 6 Tips for managing & resolving conflict
4. Pick your battles.
Conflicts can be draining, so it’s important to consider
whether the issue is really worthy of your time and
energy. Maybe you don't want to surrender a parking space if you’ve been
circling for 15 minutes, but if there are dozens of empty spots, arguing over a
single space isn’t worth it.
5. Be willing to forgive.
Resolving conflict is impossible if you’re unwilling or unable to forgive.
Resolution lies in releasing the urge to punish, which can never compensate
for our losses and only adds to our injury by further depleting and draining
our lives.
6. Know when to let something go.
If you can’t come to an agreement, agree to disagree. It takes two people to
keep an argument going. If a conflict is going nowhere, you can choose to
disengage and move on

Goal, to be more influentual and successful
1. Expert Power. This is the most valuable power base. If you have some particular skill or expertise that others value, then you will
have power over them if they need/want what you possess. This is the power that professionals have over us – doctors, lawyers, your
company’s IT guy. We do what they say because we believe they possess some skill or competence
Learning how to use this power base is key. Competence is a powerful force for success. Establish your expertise – your expert power
base – make it known, but don’t boast about it. Expertise and humility are a powerful combination.
2. Reward Power. This is the power to give positive things to others – money, praise, perks, and other things that others need or want.
Money is powerful because it is so valued by others. With wealth comes reward power.
We often, however, overlook the power of social reinforcement – giving a compliment, saying ‘thank you,’ a smile and a nod – can be a
very powerful form of influence. Get in the habit of noticing when those around you behave positively, and give them social
reinforcement. You will find that they will increase their positive behavior, and this is an important form of personal power, as we like
people who reward us and treat us nicely.
3. Legitimate Power. This is the power that comes with a position. A synonym is authority. All leaders carry some level of legitimate
power, but it is what you do with that authority that makes you effective. Be consistent, and again, be humble about it, and you can use
legitimacy more powerfully.
4. Referent Power. This power base comes from being liked, admired, and respected by others. It is the power of strong relationships.
This is the power of charismatic leaders who attract and inspire loyal, admiring followers.
There are two facets of referent power that are important for developing this personal power base. The first is to be a positive role
model – someone who others would want to emulate. The second is to be a supportive and other-oriented friend or colleague – be a
good listener, be responsive, be nice.
5. Coercive Power. Coercive power is the power to punish and force others to action. This is a dangerous power base to wield. To use
coercive power effectively, it is best to be subtle. Think of the iron fist in the velvet glove – make it clear that you have the capacity to
punish or inflict harm, but use it only sparingly. Remember, power is a potential. You don’t actually have to use it to be effective, and
coercive power should only be used when absolutely necessary.
We all possess different levels of these power bases. Learning how to use them effectively is the key.

Here’s the thing about personal power:
Some people leverage and use it to the max.
These people understand that their lives are their own.
They choose to take responsibility and do something about their lives.
These people are hard to hold down.
And…
Some people give it away.
These people believe they are controlled by others.
They choose to be victimized by being helpless and doing nothing.
These people feel lifeless, they are hard to pull up.
What about you?
Who controls YOUR emotions?
Who dictates the terms of YOUR existence?
Who is responsible for your happiness?
The more you exercise your personal power, the stronger you become!
Six Enablers That Will Strengthen Personal Power
1. Know what you stand for.
If you don’t stand for something you will fall for anything. Your personal power will evaporate because you’re not grounded, you’re not anchored to anything. Knowing what
you stand for is about knowing what you value. Values are the emotional rules that guide your life, the fundamental basis for every decision you make. Values give your life
focus and meaning and power.
Exercise:
Take some time to identify what you VALUE most.
Then, evaluate how much of your life is built around and dictated by these values.
Starting RIGHT NOW decide what you are going to do to fill in the gaps.
2. Believe in what you are doing.
Many of us end up compromising our most deeply held values at work because that’s what we think we need to do in order to get ahead, whether “ahead” means more
money, power, pleasure, status or some other lure. When we end up doing things we don’t believe in it saps our personal power and we slowly become DEAD PEOPLE
WORKING.
Exercise:
Do you REALLY believe in what you are doing at work?
Are you working on things that will matter five years from now?
Starting RIGHT NOW decide how you are going to engage in work that matters.
3. Find your sweet spot.
When you find your sweet spot—the synergy between what you are good at, passionate about, and what needs to be done—you tap into the joy and enthusiasm that
increases your personal power. If you are stuck in a job because it’s easy or safe or pays well, but gives you no sense of purpose and passion, you are in the most difficult job
of all—a job that constantly drains your personal power.
Exercise:
Have you followed your strengths and passion to find your sweet spot? Or…
Are you engaged in work you don’t love because you’re chasing the money?
Does time at your job fly by or drag on?
Starting RIGHT NOW ask yourself:
What would I be doing if I were engaged in work that leveraged my greatest strengths, work that I love, work that I’m good at, and work that makes an extremely valuable
contribution?
How would this kind of work make me feel? Would I have more energy and vitality?
What’s holding me back, what’s keeping me from doing this kind of work?
Given the number of working years I have left, what price will I pay, will my family or loved ones pay if I don’t live and work in my sweet spot?
Exercise:
Here are some questions designed to help you find your sweet spot:
