We all talk about those bad “Command and Control” leaders who are hindering the success of the Agile Transformations we’re leading BUT … let’s take a second and reflect.

• What are the roots of “Command and Control”?
• Why do leaders behave this way?
• What positive intentions do they have?
• What command and control tendencies do YOU have yourself?

The journey to Adaptive and Servant Leadership is a long one, it doesn’t happen over night and it takes conscious effort to get there.

I’ve watched many leaders who you would have written-off actually make this leap and of course several others who couldn’t.

I want to share some of the best tips we’ve learned from the real world on how to navigate this journey and help others do the same.

We will also have a fun workshop where you will complete your own Adaptive Leader radar self-assessment.

Presenter: Sally Elatta, (LinkedIn profile) one of PMIs® LEAD Experts, is a dynamic Coach, Trainer and Public Speaker who is passionate about transforming individuals, teams and organizations into improving their project management and software development practices and delivering business value early and often.

Disruptive Innovation: What Is It?

Regardless of what industry you’re in, today’s large companies share some remarkably similar characteristics.

We live and die by these common denominators:

• Heavy reliance on technology, IT teams, and software
• Complex, unpredictable organizational dynamics
• Siloed departments that suffer from lack of communication
• Difficulty understanding or predicting what customers and users want
• Constantly changing and uncertain marketing conditions

In the middle of this daunting mix, we are called upon to constantly innovate or fall behind.

But how?

Is it even possible to repeatably and methodically achieve this mythical “innovation” that everyone talks about?

Chris contends that it is!

Chris will introduce you to the following:

• Lean: what is it?
• A brief history of lean management principles
• Lean thinking
• Lean applied in today’s professions (IT, development, DevOps, project management) – Lean as a vehicle for value creation

Join Chris Knotts, PMP – (LinkedIn profile)   for a brief primer on Lean Innovation.
