Per the Agile Business Consortium, business agility allows businesses to adapt quickly to market changes; respond rapidly and flexibly to customer demands; adapt and lead change in a productive and cost-effective way without compromising quality; and continuously be at a competitive advantage.

The primary reason for moving to Agile is to achieve faster business value and keep you ahead of the competition. Agile is built for change – fundamentally, it is about creating Business Agility.

It enables the enterprise to deliver projects more efficiently, with relentless focus on business value and providing the highest return on investment.

Whether it is a software project, a new service offering or a new product, Agile’s twelve principles and three pillars (transparency, inspection, adaptation) are designed to reduce money spent on undesirable or unusable features which were built based on outdated requirements.

In this webinar Lalig Musserian & Jim Stewart PMP will provide an overview of Agile as the umbrella term encompassing multiple techniques, with a deeper dive into Scrum, its most popular method.

After this session, executives will achieve a stronger understanding of Agile and Scrum, and how it can benefit their enterprise project delivery.

Learning Outcomes

  • Understand Agile Methods and how they can help an enterprise
  • Understand how Agile helps provide business value faster
  • Understand what next steps executives can take to turbocharge project delivery and business value optimization

Compliance As A Culture Strategy

Share

Live Webinar – September 8th, 2020 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm EDT
Activity Type: Education – Course or Training  1 Hour  1 PDU free
Provider: Training Magazine Network

Compliance is an essential part of HR, but it is always the bare minimum and should be assessed and analyzed as part of an overall culture strategy. Issuing a policy that says “We don’t discriminate” is not the same as a comprehensive inclusion and diversity program.

Following the rules and filing reports are just part of creating a work environment where compliance happens on the way to larger goals for learning, performance, and wellness.

But since HR never has to make the business case for compliance, it can be a persuasive approach to larger culture initiatives.

In this webinar, Mike Bollinger (LinkedIn profile) VP, Strategic Initiatives, Cornerstone OnDemand; surveys compliance issues, who they affect, and why it’s essential to see compliance as a culture issue.

Learn:

  • What compliance issues create risk for the organization and for employees
  • Why people are the most important aspect of all compliance issues
  • When compliance problems are symptoms instead of causes
  • How to approach different compliance issues using training, tech, coaching, and data
