While webinars have become commonplace in both learning and marketing, the parade-of-slides-with-disembodied-voice format is getting old. Isn’t it time we reinvented the webinar? What can we learn from the success of the “flipped classroom” model that’s sweeping the world of education?

In this webinar, Michael will explore how the webinar itself can be reinvented around the flipped classroom model: that is, delivering the presentation material as a rich interactive video presentation in advance and using the “live” webinar as Q&A and discussion time.

And yes, this will be delivered as a “flipped webinar” — so you can not only hear about it but also experience it and discuss it with your peers.

Join Michael for this most unusual and innovative online event!

Rapid growth of global markets is forcing organizations to become more flexible and responsive with their IT and software projects.

Effective software project management is a critical success factor. Yet many organizations today face a ‘crisis’ with excessive defects, delays, and a lack of effective fact-based decision making.

Introduction of total quality management, continuous improvement programs and the drive to radically redesign business processes requires an alignment with strong project management skills coupled with Lean Six Sigma principles.

Practical insights from prior projects managed by Hasnain Rizvi (LinkedIn profile) will be covered in this presentation and will serve as examples of the effective leveraging of Lean Six Sigma teachings with project management in order to foster collaboration in software projects.

Take a look at how management structures, certificates, methodologies and practices are evolving in SDLC organizations to meet the speed and innovation that drives today’s business environments.

The Software/Systems Development Life cycle (SDLC) within organizations is the glue that holds together the mission critical application and system development projects.

These projects are what drive innovation throughout the entire organization for both internal and external customers. It is these same innovations, usually in the form of internal process automation or external customer engagement solutions, which provide competitive advantage.

With current market conditions, competitive advantage, even for a short window of time, can drive long term positive financial results.

The reality is that the basic structure, principles and purpose of SDLC organizations are changing rapidly.

There is so much pressure within organizations to get process automation and customer facing solutions out as quickly as possible, that the SDLC glue is weakening and in need of change.

This  presentation with David Mantica (LinkedIn profile) covers the major changes at work in how the SDLC is run within organizations.

It will be broken into sections:

1. A look at the current Software/Systems Development Life cycle
2. New methods or ways of getting the work done (Agile, Iterative or Scrumfall)
3. Transforming the BA and the PM
4. Changing how people are managed and the skills required to be successful
5. Data Analytics and its impact on SDLC professionals
6. Creating T-shaped employees
7. Trends in Certifications: what PMI, the IIBA, Scrum Alliance and IC Agile are offering for SDLC human capital growth

This presentation will provide you with details that will help with your capital and expense budget.

It will also help you plan your human capital requirements for the future and develop individual deployment plans (IDPs) for your current staff.

The ultimate goal is to provide you detailed information, so you can adapt and successfully manage through these evolutionary changes to the Software/Systems Development Life cycle (SDLC).

If we hope to move forward, the UX community must go deep. We’ve been seduced by surface at the expense of understanding.

We think we’re designing software, websites, and experiences.
But we’re not.
We are agents of change.

Until we accept this mission, we will forever repeat our mistakes.

• How can we work together when we’re divided by silos?
• How will we innovate while blinded by cultural illiteracy?

The things we make are reflections of the language we use and the ways we organize ourselves. It’s time to stop twittering about unicorns and start shaping strategy. It’s time to be architects of understanding.

In this spirited tour of information architecture, organizational strategy, and systems thinking, Peter Morville draws from his new book, Intertwingled: Information Changes Everything , to reveal how everything is connected from code to culture.

It’s a trip into the wilderness of cognition and complexity that delivers a simple message: the UX community can change the world, but only if we have the courage to go deep.

Presenter: Peter Morville (LinkedIn profile, @morville) is a pioneer of the fields of information architecture and user experience. His best-selling books include:

• Intertwingled: Information Changes Everything  Read an excerpt from the first chapter of  Intertwingled.
• Information Architecture for the World Wide Web: Designing Large-Scale Web Sites,
• Ambient Findability: What We Find Changes Who We Become
• Search Patterns: Design for Discovery
• The Internet Searcher’s Handbook: Locating Information, People, & Software (Neal-Schuman NetGuide Series)
• Information Architecture for the World Wide Web: Designing Large-Scale Web Sites, 2nd Edition
