Among the traits that distinguish a good team from a great team is their ability to innovate. Despite the rhetoric in favor of innovation, most organizations are stuck in an implementation mindset, stifling creativity, excellence, and the resultant innovation. The experimentation mindset frees us from self-imposed constraints, allowing us to continually learn and improve. In this session, we’ll talk about how we learn as individuals and how we learn as organizations. We’ll take a look at some examples of the experimentation mindset happening in the agile community today and we’ll talk about how you can foster such a mindset in your own organization.

ExperimentationMindset

It’s the same argument again and again. One side says “team members should all be able to do everything, and the programmers should do their testing and all testers should be writing code”. The other side says “No, that can’t possibly work – programmers don’t know how to test, they don’t have the right mindset”. And on and on it goes. http://huddle.eurostarsoftwaretesting.com/resource/webinar/need-testers-agile-teams/

Codemash pre-compiler - Collaborative Decision Making

Doc Norton

Even high functioning teams occasionally have a hard time making decisions or coming up with creative ideas. There are times when the conversation seems to drag on long after a decision is reached. There are times when we have too many people involved in the discussion or the wrong people involved. There are times when we’re not sure whose the actual decision maker. And there are those times when we just seem to be out of synch with each other. This creative collaboration workshop provides tools that help resolve all of these issues.

How Your Corporation Can Organize for Innovation

David Bland

Innovation, innovation, innovation. It is all you hear in meetings and all you read in business books and magazines. The confusing aspect behind all of this hype is that we rarely put thought into how we design environments so that innovation can emerge. In this free 45 minute webinar, David J Bland a Principal Advisor at Neo San Francisco, will guide you through how corporations are funding, measuring and organizing for disruptive innovation. How should I fund innovation? The pros and cons of horizon planning and incremental funding. How do I measure innovation? Hint, it is not ROI. We'll cover the ins and outs of innovation accounting. How will the teams organize for innovation? What are the working agreements between the team and leadership? What ceremonies should we have? You'll leave this session with actionable advice on how you, as a leader, can effectively organize so that innovation will emerge within your corporation.

The design thinking transformation in business

Cathy Wang

Presented at Webvisions Barcelona 2015 By Cathy Wang & Nuno Andrew The definition of design is shifting from being a noun to a verb. We see it moving away from arts and craft into a methodology of delivering value. Adapting to this shift, designers and changemakers are forming a new way of design thinking. As designer, not only are we crafting products / services, but we are also learning to see a much bigger system with a deep connection to business factors. How can we influence businesses with design thinking in order to build a solid business platform that delivers meaningful products / services. Systems thinking is an approach to problem solving. Businesses are an intricate ecosystem, from how the organisation is structured, to people, to commercial planning, to processes. As designers, we practice systems thinking everyday. How do we use this knowledge to craft a business? This, is business design. In this session, we want to explore what business design means. How to use what we know, as designers, to build stronger businesses? As we continue to adapt design methodologies and systems thinking to a business context, what other manifestations that will evolve? How can design thinking be leveraged in even the most straight-laced silos of a business such as Human Resources and Finance? How do we give design thinking the space it needs in the face of traditional business practice? And most importantly, how do we use our existing design thinking knowledge, to design businesses?

Architecture, what does it even mean?

Andrew Shafer

Everyone seems to have an intuitive understanding of ‘architecture’ as the process and product of planning, designing, and constructing. The problem is most people don’t have the same understanding which leads to disagreements about what the process and product entails. The transition from software shipped on physical media to software delivered as services further complicated the conversation as operating services introduces other factors that must be considered on an ongoing basis. These misunderstandings have only been exacerbated as greater speed and scale create new problems necessitating novel emergent solutions. This presentation will attempt to highlight the need for new language with dense semantics about the emerging architectures (because just saying ‘microservices’ is causing more problems than it solves) while also pointing out that many of the struggles people have delivering software are rooted in architecture.

Fostering The Third Way - Your DevOps Dojo

DevOpsDays DFW

In the DevOps Handbook, Gene Kim introduces the Third Way - The Technical Practices of Continual Learning. Enter the DevOps Dojo - an immersive environment where whole teams come together to learn and practice their skills while solving real business problems. Joel Tosi and Dion Stewart say teams learn better in the immersive eco-system of Dojos than they do using traditional forms of training. They explain why and how Dojos help teams bond around product, foster rapid experimentation, and reframe small failures as learning. In this session, we will frame the need for dojos. From there we will walk attendees through the dojo format, including things they need to think about when creating their own. We wrap up with simple calls to actions for people to take to bring learning forward. Come to this session not only to learn about what works in creating a Dojo but also how Dojos help upskill your teams and support the cultural DevOps change.

Adopting a Continual Improvement Mindset for IT

Josh Atwell

Few organizations feel they are reaching their true potential. Technical debt, antiquated processes, outdated measurements, and a never-ending influx of new requirements leave most feeling incapable of doing much more than keeping the lights on. Overcoming these challenges and achieving meaningful change doesn't happen overnight, but is a necessity in order to create the next generation of IT operations and create the foundation for DevOps success. This session will explore techniques that modern IT organizations are adopting to become more agile, adopt new technologies like containers, new processes like DevOps, and build a culture of continual improvement. We will touch on how to: • Improve responsiveness, collaboration, and learning across teams • Adopting and supporting new technologies like containers, microservices, and automation • Gain more visibility into your environments and processes to identify constraints • Grow beyond firefighting and just getting the next feature out
