Achieving New Product Development (NPD) goals generally requires that people skilled in a wide range of functional disciplines be assigned to a project.

Even more strongly stated:New Product Development is all about people. Successful team members must be highly motivated and sufficiently resourceful so that they can achieve the goals despite setbacks that commonly occur during the project.

We will examine how the structure of the team, reporting methods, and team leadership have a profound effect on success.

Individual strengths can lead to a personal triumph, but a team is greater than the sum of its parts. TGI Teamabilityâ„¢ identifies behaviors that impact quality of team interaction and ‘fit’ to job responsibilities: the ‘who fits where’ and the ‘why’ of winning teams. With Teamability, you can reliably hire ‘the best of the best’, identify and resolve team performance problems, and build a strong, resilient human infrastructure

This is a 1 hour seminar and attendees will be awarded 1 PDU for participating

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.

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.

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.
