Nowadays, Agile Transformation is one of the trendiest organizational topics.

In recent years, a new role emerged: the Agile Coach – the knight on a white horse that will transform the organization to be the best.

Claims that using Agile will improve quality and deliver twice in half the time or that a new ‘mindset’ will drastically improve happiness are very common. And in most of the cases, they result in failure although other significant benefits may be observed.

Agile Transformation is still a transformation at the Enterprise level. To be successful, it should be treated as any other large Organizational Change: a project with clear objectives, resource allocated, and metrics to measure the success. Agile Transformations are tough projects, and an experienced Project Manager should lead them; for large organizations, a specialized Change Manager may be required.

In this webinar Stelian Roman (LinkedIn profile) presents several patterns of Agile adoption with pros and cons and recommendations for organizations that want to become Agile. The webinar is based on real life projects.

    • Building A More Inclusive & Diverse Leadership Bench

    Live Webinar May 26th, 2021 – 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm EDT
    Activity Type: Education – Course or Training  1 Hour  1 PDU
    Provider: Human Capital Institute

    The COVID-19 pandemic derailed diversity and inclusion efforts for many companies.

    Before the crisis, diversity and inclusion was reported as the top talent management priority for CEOs. Over 800 CEOs signed the CEO Action Pledge for Diversity and Inclusion, to address “the concerns and needs of our diverse employees and increase equity for all, including Blacks, Latinos, Asians, Native Americans, LGBTQ, disabled, veterans and women”.

    Unfortunately, the global health crisis forced companies to reprioritize, pulling attention and resources away from diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives at a critical time.

    Research suggests that diverse groups—including women, LGBTQ+ employees, and people of color—have been disproportionately impacted by the pandemic, both in the workplace and with balancing work and home life.

    Women in particular have experienced higher rates of unemployment — and the effect has been even more acute among women of color. We’re still dealing with the global pandemic and an uncertain economic recovery – but one thing is clear: we will be living with the consequences of this crisis for a generation, unless organizations act now to build a more diverse and inclusive leadership bench.

    Nearly all of the companies in the Fortune 100 (96%) promote their diversity and inclusion efforts through mission and value statements, or in their corporate social responsibility reports.

    Unfortunately, this shared commitment to diversity and inclusion has not translated to tangible progress in increasing the number of diverse executives in senior leadership roles. A large majority of HR leaders (88%) report that their organization has not been effective at increasing diversity representation. Nearly half (49%) acknowledge that their leadership bench is not diverse.

    So, how do companies get back on track? HR and ID&E leaders must address the systemic bias embedded in their systems, processes, and stakeholders to truly increase the diversity of their managerial and leadership benches.

    1. They need to address the barriers that limit advancement of underrepresented talent.
    2. These include a lack of mentors and career support, and insufficient exposure to senior leaders.
    3. They need to provide more clarity around career paths and critical steps for advancement.
    4. They need to expand their leadership development efforts, providing greater access to under-represented populations.
      • If you want to build a more diverse and inclusive leadership bench, you need to start with a broader talent pipeline.

    In this webinar Kip Kelly (LinkedIn profile) Director, Sounding Board Inc.;  Mary Slaughter (LinkedIn profile) Global Head of Employee Experience, Morningstar & Khalil Smith (LinkedIn profile) Vice President, Inclusion, Diversity, and Engagement, Akamai will feature industry leaders, sharing best practices to help you build a more diverse and inclusive leadership bench.

    Key takeaways:

    • Why organizations need a more inclusive and diverse leadership bench
    • Why unconscious bias training doesn’t guarantee a more inclusive culture
    • The role of inclusion, empathy and belonging in the hybrid workforce
    • Which leadership capabilities are critical for a more inclusive culture
    • How to accelerate talent development to expand your leadership bench

    You may have been hearing more about learning science of late. Why? Are there reasons we should be concerned with learning science? Aren’t our instructional design approaches sufficient?

    In this webinar, Clark will talk about what learning science is, why you should care, what it entails, and how it’s done.

    He’ll look at how learning science fills in theory gaps and keeps us from making costly mistakes. We’ll also cover the basic cognitive architecture that underpins our thinking, working, and learning.

    Clark will even conduct a sample experiment to experience how cognitive science research is done. You’ll leave better equipped to support your organizational learning needs.

    Presenter: Clark Quinn, Ph.D., (LinkedIn profile) provides learning experience design strategy to corporations, higher education, government, and not-for-profit organizations. An award-winning consultant, internationally known speaker, and author of six books, Clark integrates a deep understanding of thinking & learning with technology to improve organizational execution, innovation, and ultimately performance.
