Disruption can come from anywhere, whether it be political, social, economical, or technological.

The only long-term prediction that is accurate is that there really is no predictability.

Organizations can no longer afford to treat disruptions as one-off exceptions, and executives must establish formal processes to plan for and respond to future disruptions.

In this webinar Frank Buytendijk (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) Gartner Distinguished VP & Malcolm Murray, (LinkedIn profile)  Gartner VP, Team Manager and Fellow, Strategy, Risk, Audit & Newsdesk Group; will share how executives can recognize disruptive trends early on and articulate potential threats and opportunities across various plausible future scenarios.

You’ll gain insights into the plausible disruptions for the next 10 years, and how you and your organization can respond.

Discussion Topics:

• Redefine what agility means and build a futurist function
• Prepare your organization to deal with sudden disruptions
• Create your own overview of relevant disruptions, through a short and simple workshop

The software industry is embracing Agile project management and there is much that we in learning & development can learn from them.

Whether you’re using SAM, LLAMA®, Scrum or still exploring your options, there’s a lot to be learned from Agile teams in the ways that they manage their relationships and communications with the business in order to deliver their work on time, in budge and in line with expectations – even as those expectations evolve throughout the project.

Agile provides a framework for adapting to change as it happens and working with the project sponsor to deliver what’s most needed by learners.

In a rapidly changing environment, the Agile mindset helps us harness change for good (instead of resisting it) and Agile techniques offer solutions for making constant change a practical reality. Rapid iterative cycles of design & evaluation allow us to test our solutions before full implementation, opening the doors to constructive change along the way.

And yet, software development projects face different challenges and have different needs than instructional design projects. A strict implementation of Agile methods may not apply to your L&D work.

What can we borrow from this useful mindset and approach, and what do we need to shape specifically for an instructional or learning experience type of project?

In this session, Megan will start with a quick definition of Agile and its use within the L&D space, then spend most of our time exploring how L&D teams that use Agile handle constant change, build relationships and get the job done.

Specifically you will learn:

• How Agile in L&D is applied differently from the rest of the organization
• How Agile helps L&D teams meet business needs when those needs are rapidly changing
• How L&D teams can build strong relationships with SMEs, sponsors and stakeholders
• How iterative development and evaluation moves projects along faster
