Oftentimes, when employees hear the term “diversity, equity and inclusion,” they immediately think it is solely the responsibility of human resources.

It’s not. As project managers and members of PMI, we strive to be good shepherds of the resources in our care – including the diverse group of people on our teams.

To do this, and to realize the greatest benefit for our projects, we need to ensure our teammates feel safe to bring their unique experiences and best self to their work.

By incorporating human-centered design /design thinking methodologies into your leadership toolkit, you will be able to lower some structural barriers to success.

Through a mix of storytelling, statistics, and practical activities, this webinar will guide you to becoming a more aware team leader so you can move beyond having a diverse team and into having a high – functioning, engaged and inclusive one.
Learning Outcomes:

• Distinguish between diversity and inclusion
• Articulate key benefits for inclusion on project teams
• Summarize the business case for human-centered design
• Identify how human-centered design activities can overcome barriers to inclusion
• Apply human-centered design thinking to project management practices

In Training Magazine Network’s second “Learning from the Leading Edge” panel discussion we will unpack the opportunities VR can bring to learning with a case study from Daikin Applied Americas, a division of the global leader in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC).

Laura Masica, (LinkedIn profile) VP of People Experiences, and Brian Dewhirst, (LinkedIn profile) Sr. Manager of Learning Technology will share how Daikin Applied created a virtual showroom and classroom visualizing its complex and giant products.

The session is moderated by Dr. Anders Gronstedt, (LinkedIn profile) President of Gronstedt Group, which developed the VR program for Daikin.

The industrial HVAC market produces large rooftop and chiller products that are technically complex, requiring highly specialized education in scientific principles and experiential training.

Yet the sheer scale of these solutions makes them difficult to share with customers.

VR makes concepts easier to understand by visualizing the invisible, playing with scale and perspective in a completely immersive environment:

Poke your head inside a chiller and watch its inner workings from any angle. Making the products readily accessible to the sales organization is key to their ability to sell these six-and-seven-figure investments.

Introducing VR into the sales channel has been a game-changer in Daikin Applied’s sales and learning success. Leveraging cross-platform, multi-player 3D solutions from phones and giant touch screens to VR headsets allows them to bring products to engineers and customers with ease.

The panelists will explain how aligning a VR solution with business goals and leveraging across multiple business functions is crucial to leadership buy-in. Ultimately, the goal of the project was to create a VR solution to showcase a key Daikin Applied product for its marketing, sales, and training audiences.

They also wanted to establish VR as a common learning modality for exploring products, demonstrating complex concepts, learning how their designs work, and supporting the sales process.

The panelists will demo how reps and customers interact seamlessly with each other as they visualize competitive differentiators with “x-ray” vision inside the chiller.

In this session, you will learn how to:

• Onboard your organization to VR as a tool, first, then showcase it as a learning modality
• Develop robust VR solutions that can be utilized for several company processes including sales presentations, sales support, talent recruiting, and learning
• Show executive leadership and the organization as a whole the value of VR
• Understand how robust VR solutions can be categorized as capital expenditures and funded as such in your organization

Exploratory Testing has been known in practice for over a decade.

1. To some people, ET is very much an ad hoc on fly type of test.
2. To others, ET has a process to it.

However, the process differs from on practitioner to another and from one project to another.

Given the fast pace of project these days and the lack of good requirement documentation, in addition to agile methodologies that are becoming more and more popular, ET has become almost a necessity for every project.

We are at a point where we can’t resist Exploratory Testing; we need to “legalize” it.

Legalization always requires rules, constraints, and processes. This Webinar will help you reduce the harmful effect of typical Exploratory Testing and increase its effectiveness.

Dr. Hanna will show you have Exploratory testing practices can be safely integrated to a disciplined test process.

Many governments struggle to meet accelerated demands and opportunities due to legacy siloed systems and data stores.

To break this mold, leading governments apply a composable architecture. According to Gartner research, by 2025, more than 35% of government legacy applications will be replaced by solutions developed on low-code application platforms and maintained by fusion teams.

A modular approach to application architecture lets governments create an adaptive approach to regulatory and legislative changes, and drive continuous improvement and modernization.

Join Ben Kaner (Gartner bio) Gartner Sr Director Analyst; to find out how you can apply modulatory and modern design principles to enable your transition toward composable applications.

Discussion Topics:

• Exploit rapid advancements in automation and machine learning
• Establish an application portfolio that supports continuous improvement and modernization
• Leverage business capability models and risk & opportunity maps to prioritize technology replacement
