We usually think of agility for software development — agility allows a small team to produce valuable software.
However, this is not the only place for agility. In this talk Dan discusses the «layering» of agility in a software- focused organization.
This layering starts at the bottom, with Agile Software Development (the writing of quality code), and ends at the top, with Agile Portfolio Management (the management of Projects, Programs, and Products for the good of the Organization).
In this (non-technical, yet entertaining) talk Dan develops a big picture showing how all the pieces fit together in a logical model.

Proposed Title Fear and Loathing in Agility: Long Live the Accounting Departm...Laszlo Szalvay
"A dead ScrumMaster is a useless ScrumMaster,” echo the votary of Ken Schwaber (Co-Founder of Scrum) folklore. In this session hosted by Pat Reed (Agile Alliance Board Member) and Laszlo Szalvay (Executive at SolutionsIQ) we will explore how and why the accounting department needs to be your biggest champion as you embark on your next agile transformation. Pat and Laszlo will walk through concrete steps and real world examples of how capitalization works with Scrum and what you need to tell the accountants so they don’t shoot you.
So don’t end up a dead ScrumMaster.
This presentation is from Scrum Gathering 2011 in Seattle, WA, USA. Much of the presentation involved showing tools and techniques outside the slide deck along with exercises that the participants would perform for learning purposes.

How Cloud PaaS Improves Performance while Reducing CostsAcquia
As IT organizations increasingly face the challenges of managing the complexity of delivering superior application performance and reliability across a disparate range of technology and deployment environments, the Cloud has emerged as a cost-effective means to build virtual data centers. But Infrastructure platforms like Amazon Web Services don't preclude companies from needing experienced systems administrators to build and manage their applications.
In order to address this gap, companies such as Acquia, have begun providing PaaS, Platform as a Service offerings, which includes not only the physical hardware, but also provides an expertly managed, application appropriate stack. Which means organizations can focus more singularly on their applications.
Jeff Kaplan, who has been at the forefront of exploring the business implications of “on-demand” services, will lead a discussion with Bryan House, the VP Product Marketing at Acquia, around how Acquia's offering of a Drupal Platform as a Service is helping IT organizations meet this challenge.
Using the open-source WCMS, Drupal, Acquia's Cloud platform and specific customer case studies, participants will learn what PaaS really means to an organization in terms of both delivering improved performance while reducing costs.

Traditionally, projects are managed based on cost, schedule, and scope.

The talk will go into detail about how Agile, Lean thinking, and Managing Software Debt can give a more holistic view of the project portfolio.

Putting the SPARK into Virtual Training.pptxCynthia Clay
This 60-minute webinar, sponsored by Adobe, was delivered for the Training Mag Network. It explored the five elements of SPARK: Storytelling, Purpose, Action, Relationships, and Kudos. Knowing how to tell a well-structured story is key to building long-term memory. Stating a clear purpose that doesn't take away from the discovery learning process is critical. Ensuring that people move from theory to practical application is imperative. Creating strong social learning is the key to commitment and engagement. Validating and affirming participants' comments is the way to create a positive learning environment.
The world of search engine optimization (SEO) is buzzing with discussions after Google confirmed that around 2,500 leaked internal documents related to its Search feature are indeed authentic. The revelation has sparked significant concerns within the SEO community. The leaked documents were initially reported by SEO experts Rand Fishkin and Mike King, igniting widespread analysis and discourse.

RMD24 | Debunking the non-endemic revenue myth Marvin Vacquier Droop | First ...BBPMedia1
Marvin neemt je in deze presentatie mee in de voordelen van non-endemic advertising op retail media netwerken. Hij brengt ook de uitdagingen in beeld die de markt op dit moment heeft op het gebied van retail media voor niet-leveranciers.
Retail media wordt gezien als het nieuwe advertising-medium en ook mediabureaus richten massaal retail media-afdelingen op. Merken die niet in de betreffende winkel liggen staan ook nog niet in de rij om op de retail media netwerken te adverteren. Marvin belicht de uitdagingen die er zijn om echt aansluiting te vinden op die markt van non-endemic advertising.
Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.
