The Agile Method and AGILE ISD; how to use each to improve your training programChristopher King
The term "agile" is being used readily to express the desire organizations have to be responsive and flexible to change in their organization. The Agile development method is designed to quickly and efficiently produce software products. Recently its application has expanded to other areas including training products. AGILE ISD is a new way of thinking about education where performance is the metric that drives the development and delivery decisions in an organization’s training program. It recognizes the long tail of learning and the five moments of learning need. AGILE ISD provides strategies for creating a culture of learning at your organization.
While these two agile methods are for different purposes, they are not mutually exclusive. This session will explain how your organization can use both methods to your advantage and success. We clarify some of the different uses of the term agile within the learning and development community. In this session we will cover:
• Agile (software) movement - its history, its main tenets, different types of agile frameworks and how to incorporated into the ADDIE training methodology
• AGILE ISD – is a methodology developed by Dr. Conrad Gottfredson that aims to supplement ADDIE by expanding its scope to include informal learning design. We cover its history, its main tenants, principles of agile education, and incorporating AGILE ISD into the ADDIE training methodology
• How the two approaches can both be successfully applied in your L&D organization
Whether you are a professional trainer or trying to bring agility to your organization or team, you no doubt have encountered the difficulty in conveying agile values and principles. Learning practices and techniques is easy in comparison; You learn by doing. But how do you teach a philosophy or mindset? How do you 'do' a value?
Through trial and error, through hundreds of classes, through training thousands of agile practitioners, we have put together a set of best practices (and not-so-best practices) for delivering powerful agile learning experiences. Participants in this session will walk away with a toolkit they can put to use the next day. The toolkit will include scenario simulations, learning games, discussion generators, reenforcement exercises, student patterns, common pitfalls, and other activities to help you get out of the way and let the learning happen.

Analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation (ADDIE) are all important steps in the design of effective e-learning applications or any learning program. While there have been many adaptations of ADDIE, many of them were made before we had today's tools, challenges, and opportunities. As is being realized by the software industry with Agile, more radical process changes are now both needed and possible. The benefits: More efficient and effective processes and superior learning experiences in less time.

Software development is shifting to Agile development practices due to the speed of change within organizations, and therefore creating the demand for such shifts. These same compelling reasons are pushing learning groups to challenge their current methodologies and become more adaptive. This can’t be accomplished without a Performance Support strategy, methodology, and technology.
Our charge is not only to keep up with Agile software development, but to keep up with the adaptive performance requirements of organizations to be “Agile": to grow, change, and innovate at or above the speed of their markets – in other words, the need to: “learn at the speed of change.”

The way to teach and deploy Lean and Six Sigma is broken. Here is how to fix this situation by applying Deming principles.
Presented at the 2015 International Deming Research Seminar, Washington, DC on 24 March 2015.
A multitude of students, instructors and practitioners of current improvement (C.I.) methods like Lean and Six Sigma learn a fraction of what they need, ignore the best ways to apply it, and dismiss whatever they have not being taught.
For example, some companies will “only do Lean” while others “will only do Six Sigma”.
This partial understanding of the C.I. methods is the natural result of fractioning a body of knowledge and the inward focus of the keepers of each method.
Thus, it is common to find a Six Sigma black belt who ignores the notion of the company as a system and a Lean practitioner who is not schooled in statistical analysis of any kind. Both miss on much useful knowledge which would make their efforts far more effective.
Worse still, managers and leaders unaware of Deming principles, launch programs of transformation which involve others in the organization while keeping themselves “safely away.”

After decades of attempts by thousands of companies to improve how managers give feedback, research still suggests that feedback does nothing – or even makes things worse. The session launches an extensive research project to finally transform the entire concept and implementation of "feedback." Prepare to be surprised, it turns out many things we've been told about feedback are wrong. Presented by Dr. David Rock, Director of the NeuroLeadership Institute, at Goal Summit 2017.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
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.

2. • What is a risk?
• What is risk management ?
• What are the principles by which we can manage risks?
• How the Risk management is integrated in project management?
• How Risk management is implemented in small projects in a
company?
• How can we control the risks in a project?
3. What is Risk?
Risk is an uncertainty.
We don’t know whether a particular event will occur or no but if it
does has a negative impact on a project.
An example would be that team is working on a project and the
developer walks out of project and other person is recruited n his
place and he doesn’t work on the same platform and converts it into
the platform he is comfortable with. Now the project has to yield the
same result in the same time span. Whether they will be able to
complete the project on time. That is the risk of schedule .
4. Definitions of Risks
Risk is the probability of suffering loss.
Risk provides an opportunity to develop the project better.
Risk exposure= Size (loss)* probability of (loss)
There is a difference between a Problem and Risk
Problem is some event which has already occurred but risk is
something that is unpredictable.
5. Risk management
The Risks we encounter in a project should be resolved so that we
are able to deliver the desired project to the customer.
The project should be managed in such a way that the risks don’t
affect the project in a big way.
The art of managing of the risks effectively so that the WIN-WIN
situation and friendly relationship is established between the team
and the customer is called Risk Management.
By using various paradigms, principles we can manage the risks.
6. The Principles of Risk Management
1.Global Perspective: In this we look at the larger system definitions, design and
implementation. We look at the opportunity and the impact the risk is going to have
.
2.Forward Looking View: Looking at the possible uncertainties that might creep up.
We also think for the possible solutions for those risks that might occur in the future.
3.Open Communication: This is to enable the free flow of communication between
in the customers and the team members so that they have clarity about the risks.
4.Integrated management: In this phase risk management is made an integral part
of project management.
5.Continous process :In this phase the risks are tracked continuously throughout
the risk management paradigm.
7. Risk management paradigm
1.Identify: Search for the risks before they
create a major problem
2.Analyze: understand the nature , kind of risk
and gather information about the risk.
3.Plan: convert them into actions and
implement them.
4.Track: we need to monitor the necessary
actions.
5.Control: Correct the deviation and make any
necessary amendments.
6.Communicate: Discuss about the emerging
risks and the current risks and the plans to be
undertaken.
8. Risk Management in Project management:
Basically project management deals with following :
1. Planning: Looking for the desired results, the strategies to be
applied.
2. Organizing: Getting all the things together so that the desired
results are obtained. By organizing the efficiency is increased and lot
of time is saved.
3. Directing: Communication takes place and exchange of ideas is
formatted in this phase.
4. Controlling: In the last phase feedback and evaluation is done.
9. Team Risk Management Principles
The two principles are:
1. Shared Product Vision: The common
goal between the team and the supplier
is established so that the vision is very
lucid.
2. Team work: Working collectively
towards achieving a common goal.
The additional two principles will be added
to the above five principles:
The Best way to snub the risks to some
extent is to involve the customers right
from the beginning and build a team
oriented approach .
In this way the team risk management
principles will help to tackle the risks
better.
10. Risk Management In Small Project:
1.Preparing for Risks: Looking for the external and internal Risks :
Uncertain requirements
Unknown technology
Infeasible Design
Cost And Schedule uncertainty.
2.Identify and Analyze Risks: We need to identify the risks and
understand the nature of risks and prioritize the risks and try to solve
the risks.
3.Mitigate the risks: In this phase we have risk acceptance, risk
transfer, risk avoidance, risk control. We implement them in this
phase so that we can mitigate the risks.
12. How To Manage the Risks
1.Determine risk sources and
Categories.
2.Determine Risk Parameters
3.Establish a Risk Management
Strategy
4.Identify Risks
5.Evaluate and prioritize the risks.
6.Develop and Implement Risk
mitigation plans
13. To manage the risks we need to establish a strong bond between the
customers and the team members.
A strong base about risk management would help a great deal in
tackling the risks.
Software metrics and tools can be developed to manage the risks.
Risk necessarily need not be negative and it can be viewed as an
opportunity to develop our projects in a better way.
