Business leaders are being challenged at an unprecedented rate with increasing complexity and uncertainty and with increasing demands for faster decision making.

In this dynamic era, many large businesses become irrelevant being displaced by new entrants that morph rapidly with unpredictable maneuvers.

We now need a new type of leader: the quantum leader.

These leaders are fundamentally different from the rest of the pack and make a tangible bottom-line difference. Gone are the days of command and control and individual charisma.

Sunnie Giles, Ph.D; (LinkedIn profile) TEDx Presenter & Author of “The New Science of Radical Innovation: The Six Competencies Leaders Need to Win in a Complex World” research has found that there are six distinct leadership competencies necessary to deliver radical innovation:

1. self-management,
2. providing safety,
3. enabling connection,
4. creating differentiation,
5. facilitating learning, and
6. facilitating integration.

Consistent radical innovation is the only way to survive in a fast changing VUCA world. Quantum leaders not only consistently deliver on radical innovation, they are good bosses to work for.

Take the mystery out of radical innovation and redefine the rules of how the game is played.

Learn To:

• Identify how to catalyze innovation in your organization.
• Set a strategic agenda for organizational transformation.
• Identify what leadership competencies are required to become successful in the fast changing, uncertain times.

Join this session to learn how to foster radical innovation at your organization in this session.

As organizations pursue their strategic goals, they likely maintain a project portfolio that is a mix of stable, definable projects built on proven procedures in addition to the more risky and undefined projects that are meant to create new products, services, or capabilities.

Project managers who can deliver results in an iterative fashion, with a high level of stakeholder involvement and increased customer feedback loops, are the first choice for these project assignments.  That is because they demonstrate facility with the new tools of the agile project manager.

Learning points covered in this webinar include:

• Picking the right methodology for the job
• Choosing what skills and relationships to enhance
• Understanding how project planning, tracking, and team management work in these hybrid settings
• Knowing your role in supporting organization change management
