What is the importance and significance of idea management to an organization and how should organizations look into having this as a key cultural aspect and function in the organization.
Creating GREAT OKRs and a great quarterly planning process7Geese
Creating OKRs is one step in the entire cycle of priority and goal planning within an organization. This deck focuses on 5 main aspects of what makes an OKR great:
1. What goes into a great starting criteria to create a single OKR
2. An understanding of what a great OKR is not as it’s important to understand what not to do, to make sure you’re not going into something blind.
3. How great OKRs come from the right metrics or key performance indicators that match your culture.
4. How you can ensure you’re translating tasks into results and planning out supporting projects properly.
5. And how to get an idea of how you plan to assess progress once it’s all over.
Ideally, the PMO creates the standards for repeatable project success, tying together execution-level staff (project management) and leadership to enable good project portfolio management (PPM) in turn. The PMO’s governance and oversight helps keep project execution tied to company goals—and provides measurable demonstration of its worth.
Top-performing companies have successfully tuned the PMO approach to deliver on what the company expects from them.
Ultimately, it’s about correctly positioning the PMO for success and being able to prove its business value according to the terms of its creation. Many companies miss this mark, and in turn, miss a valuable opportunity to make their projects more profitable across their organization.
Is there a difference between Lean Six Sigma projects and 'just projects'? Yes, actually many big advantages in favor of the Lean Six Sigma approach.
Here I describe knowing by seeing, working on what matters and creating a sense of excitement for your teams.

Avanza Case Study - Agile Transformation with Customer Focus Mia Kolmodin
Avanza is a tech company with bank licence (you can call them a bank) here in Stockholm. A few years back they started their journey from a traditional silos based organization to a cross functional product organization organized around the customer journey - IT, Product, Marketing and Operations working as one. Here we want to share their story with you that we also had the pleasure to be a small part of.
Background
“Avanza's development organization has grown from 7 to 16 teams during the last 4 years. Great fun, of course, but it also required some prerequisites.
In the fall of 2016, our lead times increased significantly, we had many cross-dependencies between the teams; and, we began to see early signs that our team's motivation was suffering. We were not sure why this was because we had been working in an agile way for over 10 years. We needed to take the next step.
During the past year we have learned a great deal. Based on that, we have created a new team structure that follows our customer's journey and value streams. This new structure includes 16 autonomous teams with end-to-end responsibilities, with clear missions; and, that are linked to our vision. The teams also have responsibility for all channels and have the skills required to deliver on their missions.”
The Avanza product organization is about 200 people (IT/Product/Marketing/Operations)
RESULTS
- Decreased Time to Market, from 5,9 teams involved in a delivery to 1,2 in average
- Increased Strategic Flexibility, Team Missions connected to Customer Journey and
- Feature Teams enable strategic and tactical adjustments along the way
- Happy & Empowered Employees - Teams feeling like a startup. Owns the budget, learning about customer needs, delivering on all touch points and optimizing towards the business strategy.
- Happier Stakeholders - Involved with the teams work & understand the structure of the org

The 5 Team Leadership Principles for Project SuccessDr. Thomas Juli
We all need and thrive for successful projects. But what does it take to get there? There is no doubt that good project management is a critical success factor. But is it really sufficient? The author doesn’t think so. He claims that effective project management needs to have a solid foundation in project leadership AND team work. It takes a performing team to run a project successfully and it takes effective leadership to empower the team to do so. This is why team building is a decisive factor for project success.
Based on his experience, having managed projects of all sizes, from a few to 24,000 person days effort, in various industries, Thomas Juli identifies the five team leadership principles that build a foundation for effective team building. They include building a common project vision, nurturing team collaboration, cultivating team performance, promoting team learning and ensuring team delivery. These five principles encompass the core of effective leadership in a team. The lecture will present these five principles of effective project leadership and show how they can help build and manage a performing and winning team.

The Scrum Master and the Product Owner are critical to success of agile development teams using Scrum. Making changes to the process, improving team members' actions, and empowering members to perform Scrum activities correctly, to increase the probability of project success.
Walkthroughs of all key implementation tasks.
Tips on data migration, user training and more
Customizable project planning sheet.
Implementing ERP is hard work – may be the hardest work you will do in your career. That is an example of a truism from the first group. It is inescapable. “You need a solid implementation plan” falls into the second group. You can choose to accept or ignore it, but that does not change its truth. Ignoring key implementation steps does not doom you to certain failure, just as not everyone who smokes gets lung cancer. But accepting all of them and acting accordingly will guarantee that you have an implementation that you will be proud of, and look back on as some of your best work.
In reaction to the current climate, many organisations have pushed pause on workplace learning programmes. But in reality, we cannot afford to put capability building on hold. Businesses are facing company-wide transformations or at a very minimum, re-skilling at business unit level in order to rebound and thrive in ever-changing markets.
Research shows that companies with effective capability-building programmes as an integral part of business transformation projects have higher rates of success than companies without. So how do you equip your marketing, sales and product management teams to maximise their commercial capabilities for a sustainable competitive advantage?

Although learning is increasingly valued by executives as critical to success, L&D leaders often struggle to get resources, budget, and buy-in from the C-Suite and key managers for L&D initiatives.
Why is this? First, L&D’s biggest challenge is proving the value of learning in a language that makes sense to business executives. Second, learning competes with people’s day jobs and L&D leaders must convince managers to give their team time to learn.
In this webinar, you’ll walk away with:
- A step-by-step framework on how to sell learning to C-suite executives and managers at your organization
- Real-life examples from People and L&D leaders on how they successfully won over key stakeholders
- Lessons learned on how to overcome challenges and make the business case for learning

A presentation that teaches the fundamentals of Human Centered Design concepts and instructional design methodologies. Build a personal toolkit for applying HCD to your learning design process.
The divide between Engineering, Sales, Product, and Support has been noted, and dozens of attempts have been made to connect the groups. Technique aside, it comes down to communication. To get the partnership they need, tech teams must pave the way for other groups to communicate and collaborate.
If you’re a part of a technical team and frustrated by other groups (cough, Support, Product, or Sales, cough) constantly asking for updates, scope, reprioritization of features, more documentation, more training… the list goes on; then perhaps it’s time to take a step back and consider how to help those groups help themselves. If what you want is to be left alone to do your work, you’ll want to listen in. In “You Can’t Always Get What You Want (Or Can You?)” we’ll touch on tried-and-true and data-driven methodologies for communicating with the other teams in your organization.
We’ll (quickly!) cover the following:
Learning to identify the real problem (between the lines!) they’re coming to you with
Reusing systems, tools, and practices you already use to communicate beyond your team
Refocusing the conversation to advocate for your team
Onboarding non-technical team members into your workflow so they understand how you work
You work hard to build your products - don’t get derailed by internal confusion and communication. Get what you want by learning how to save time and headache by giving non-technical teams exactly what they need before they even ask!
Bringing the Empathy Back to the Experience in TrainingKristen Gallagher
Learn how to design learning experiences with empathy. Designed for instructional designers, training managers, and facilitators, this workshop was given at Learning Dev Camp 2015 by Kristen Gallagher of Edify Education Design.
Learn how to give a talk, presentation, or workshop focused on real teaching/learning rather than fluff and talk. This workshop was given at Devsigner 2015 in Portland, OR by Kristen Gallagher of Edify Education Design.
Learn the basics of instructional design, adult learning theory, and facilitation techniques. This workshop was given in 2015 by Kristen Gallagher of Edify Education Design for ATD Cascadia.
You’ve built a brand, a solid business, and a great team. However, there’s more to your company’s success: Knowledge Management (KM) is a critical component of a systematic, scalable business. Being intentional with KM is, in fact, the foundation of a sustainable businesses model that breeds success.
Knowledge Management can be daunting if you’re not familiar with it or haven’t begun the process – but it doesn’t have to be! As the organizational strategy for creating, using, storing, and managing information in your company, KM is crucial to business success. In this webinar, we’ll go over the basic Knowledge Management framework, how to begin prioritizing KM efforts, and how to build organization-wide best practices for internal KM. We’ll go over what KM really is, why it’s important to have a KM philosophy for your organization, and what you can get started on today.
