People often refer to their work as a series of tasks, instead of focusing on the measurable outcomes they produce as a result of their efforts.

A results-oriented mindset starts with leaders who know how to clarify work requirements and to inject energy and pace into their teams’ work.

In this webinar, learn about:

  • The five disciplines of results-oriented leaders
  • A proven approach to ensuring that team goals get met
  • Maximizing your impact by learning to focus your efforts on the most critical initiatives

Presented by: Mitchell Nash (LinkedIn profile) Principal Consultant and leader of Linkage’s Change and Transition Leadership practice with over 20 years of experience leading, facilitating, and supporting large-scale change initiatives.

Many Agile Transformations are approached from a nuts-and-bolts perspective. “Learn these techniques and then you’ll be Agile.” However, your ceiling of organization agility will be greatly diminished if that is the approach taken.

During this one-hour web seminar Josh Fruit (LinkedIn profile) will explore how you should mentally prepare for transitioning from Waterfall to Agile.

ASPE considers this the “inside-out” approach to learning.

If you’re able to first prepare yourself with an understanding of the philosophy and values of Agile practices, and understand key concepts related to change (e.g. The “J” Curve Effect) then your ability to move through the change in methodology is much easier.

Participants in this webinar will explore a set of traditional mental models that will be required to transform as you adopt Agile practices.
