Agile principles are dominating the discussion in software development. As it goes mainstream, software practitioners in almost every vertical are utilizing what Agile offers. It is only a matter of time before other professional disciplines begin to incorporate Agile for professional and organizational success.

Radical Management is one such incorporation. Started by Steve Denning and chronicled in his book The Leader’s Guide to Radical Management: Reinventing the Workplace for the 21st Century, it uses the foundational values of Agile and develops specific principles and practices for managers and leaders.

There is NO doubt Agile values can be used by managers and leaders. The challenge for them is the struggle to redefine themselves and their place in a business world that is rapidly going Agile. However, if they can cross this “chasm,” the business opportunities on the other side in today’s environment are significant.

Learning Objectives:

In this web seminar, you will initially look at the foundational values of Agile and discuss how and why they can be interpreted and utilized for managers and leaders inside and outside software development. Then dive into the specifics of Radical Management, the fundamental rationale for it, the defining principles and how those principles are acted upon.

Social Media Is More Than Marketing Communications

It is more than Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. It is also more than the enabling technologies – wikis, blogs, social networks, etc.

Social media is really about engaging communities in new ways to achieve otherwise impossible business value.

1. It is about strategy.
2. It is about thriving, surviving or disappearing in a new age of human behaviors fueled by mass collaboration.

Discussion Topics:

• What is really transformational about social media
• How are organizations employing social media for business value
• How do you move your social media strategy forward

Presenter: Nikos Drakos, (LinkedIn profile) Research Director
