Organizations everywhere have been undergoing tremendous changes in the last two years.

A major challenge they are running into is how difficult change is to adapt to both emotionally and mentally.

Give your people the tools and attitudes to be “change ready” – a mental/emotional state in which they seek solutions, instead of blaming others.

They look for opportunities in the changes, and choose optimism. They vent their emotions in a helpful way and accept change more quickly.

Learning objectives:

• Increased resilience to bounce back after the unexpected
• Adapt more quickly to new environments
• Sees opportunities in change instead of fighting, fleeing or freezing
• Optimism rather than the blame game
• Better health than when resisting change

Nowadays, when technology helps us to manage repetitive tasks faster and better, our role as project, program or portfolio managers changes and requires us to become better leaders, leaders who inspire the teams we work with.

A leader who inspires team members not only tells their members that they are deeply dedicated to the customer experience. The leader must demonstrate this commitment and passion in every meeting, presentation and how he handles customer issues.

The leader’s behavior must inspire employees to act in the same way. A leader who inspires the people around him is not related to a title, a role, or a position in the organization chart of an organization.

Rather, it is a person’s ability to determine the people they work with to achieve the performance and success they are lately capable of, and to demonstrate the qualities that employees will pursue through their own choice – passion, purpose, trust and dedication. of the meanings of their role in the teams in which they carry out their activity.

Inclusive Diversity

Though frequently used together, the terms diversity and inclusion have different meanings.

You can have a diverse workforce but not necessarily an inclusive one.

Diversity is the mixture of demographics, psychographics, and experiences reflected in the workforce.

By contrast, inclusion is the practice of recognizing and valuing all employee perspectives and contributions, and creating opportunities for all voices to be equally heard and inform organizational processes.

In a culture of inclusive diversity the full potential of all employees is realized.

In our  HCI’s Talent Pulse research, they:

• Examined the antecedents and conditions of inclusive diversity.
• Asked HR practitioners and leaders involved with diversity and inclusion efforts about their current programs
  • to shed more light on what is working and what is not.

In fact, researchers recently found that mandatory diversity training that tries to police thoughts and behaviors does more harm than good.

They often result in backlash and can make an organization less diverse in the long-run.

In HCI’s survey, they asked about the D&I training offered but also explored the outcomes of those engagements to better understand the most effective ways to build inclusive diversity.

In this research webcast they will:

• Report on the prevalence of different types of D&I programs and who is responsible for design and implementation of them.
• Explore the motivations of organizations focused on D&I as a means of compliance versus those organizations that invest in D&I to drive learning and leverage of diverse perspectives.
• Learn the personal characteristics and abilities needed to foster a culture of inclusion.
• Address the most notable challenges facing effective implementation of D&I efforts.

A product management approach to government may seem a bit odd, but in fact, it is potentially a great way to deliver more effective solutions and processes to citizens and stakeholders than more traditional approaches.

It is less risky, it can be faster and more responsive, it can ensure the solution remains supported as long as it is needed, and it is neither an IT problem nor an IT solution.

Sounds pretty good so far?

In this webinar John Kost (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) Gartner Distinguished VP Analyst & Chris Rickard (LinkedIn profile) Gartner Sr Managing Partner Market Lead look at how government leaders need to ensure the right leaders own and support the product and the business processes it enables, and why this requires different roles and types of governance than are typically seen in Canadian government organizational charts.

Discussion Topics:

• How a product approach applies in government
• Why to consider a product approach instead traditional project management approaches
• How leadership and governance will change
