Have you ever wondered why innovative organizational leaders and high-performing developers, product designers,

UX specialists, etc. – who are otherwise excellent at what they do – are slow and hesitant to adopt Agile methodologies?

Agile transformation is a hot topic right now, but many organizations rush the implementation process without pausing to assess and address foundational issues.

The truth is, new hires or new Agile teams aren’t entirely convinced that Agile methodologies can support their expertise and simplify their day-to-day tasks. They perceive Agile transformation as “just another thing” their company is trying and are reluctant to commit.

In this workshop, Aina Aliieva (LinkedIn profile) will present a road map that will help agile practitioners and executives interested in agile transformation identify the root cause of resistance of new Agile teams and new hires.

Aina willl also look at the challenges Agile evangelists such as Scrum Masters, Agile Coaches, and POs face in implementing these methodologies.

The goal is to get all Agile stakeholders aligned with a company’s or a product’s vision and reframe how Agile is seen and used by everyone involved. After this interactive presentation, Agile specialists, executives, and product owners will know exactly how to facilitate Agile transformations with a culture-first approach, supported by coaching, mentorship, and the right kind of accountability (avoiding micromanagement).

The result?

Teams who truly believe in the potential of Agile methodologies and continue to incrementally incorporate them in their work without resistance, thus accelerating their learning curve.

Learning Outcomes:

• Uncover critical challenges faced by Agile evangelists such as  Scrum Masters, Agile Coaches, and POs in implementing Agile methodologies in their company or teams
• Understand the importance of learning by failing fast (based on key takeaways from the Dunning-Kruger effect and Dreyfus Model of Skill Mastery)
• How to facilitate a culture shift in the organization to make Agile transformation easier

As generative AI (GenAI) takes hold, marketing once again must transform at a massive pace. Marketers must become prompt engineers, technologists and strategists and still meet today’s business demands.

Chief marketing officers (CMOs) must not only create value, but prove and communicate marketing’s value on a continual basis to keep up.

Business growth goals require resource and cost optimization, even as CMOs are asked to accept more functional responsibilities.

Current marketing organizations have capability gaps that are barriers to growth, and if CMOs do not address this change, their marketing organizations will get caught in a downward vortex that will be too hard to fix.

Join this complimentary Gartner marketing webinar as a Gartner expert explores how CMOs must reinvent their marketing organizations from top to bottom to build a world-class marketing organization.

You will walk away from this session with answers to your vital questions, a copy of the research slides and recommended actions to help you achieve your goals.

Discussion Topics:

• Understand why CMOs must reinvent the marketing function
• Identify the 15 decisions CMOs must make ahead of restructuring the marketing org
• Devise an organizational design strategy and plan that always starts with why

There are many ways in which Agile adoption is attempted at the Enterprise level.

In the last decade, the most common approach is scaling up Team oriented frameworks, like Scrum, to entire Business Units and later to the entire enterprise.

Little known or not mentioned, most of the concepts and Agile practices originated in the late 1970s (or even earlier) when the work environment was transformed by the introduction of the (personal) computer in the workplace – first as the ‘brain’ of machine tools and later as an office tool.

Agile transformation is an Organizational Change, it follows the rules of any Business Transformation and needs Executive support in order to succeed.

This webinar is a presentation of the Agile transformation that  In this webinar Stelian Roman (LinkedIn profile) was involved in, focusing on the role and the importance of executive support in Agile adoption.

Generative AI (GenAI) has the potential to transform the customer service and support function, but transformation is never quick or easy.

Media outlets, technology optimists and vendors have hyped the potential for rapid change in service and support, perpetuating a myth of GenAI as a cure-all with low barriers to adoption.

The reality is far more challenging. Unfortunately, many leaders underestimate the resource-intensive prerequisites essential for a successful deployment.

While leaders can quickly and cheaply buy into GenAI capabilities, doing so typically offers only incremental productivity gains. Worse yet, poorly designed capabilities risk damaging the customer experience. Leaders must recognize that a host of elements must be aligned before a potentially transformative GenAI use case can deliver results.

Working with early adopters of GenAI, Gartner identified 11 dimensions of readiness. Join this complimentary Gartner customer service and support webinar as Gartner experts will help service leaders determine which types of use cases they are ready for and which need more organizational maturity before being pursued.

Discussion Topics:

• Find out how customer service and support organizations successfully deploy GenAI
• Assess your organization against 11 dimensions of readiness
• Evaluate your readiness for GenAI use cases

Learning objectives:

• Defining the features and the external and internal environmental factors of a complex and strategic project,
• Developing a systematic and formalized multi-criteria decision-making process based on strategic risk analysis in a complex project environment,
• Identifying and analyzing project risks throughout the project life-cycle in parallel with the project management

A complex project may have a very long and multiple phased life-cycle, a large number of stakeholders within a complex organizational plan, a complex resource management, technical complexities, contractual complexities and macro-environmental factors.

On the other hand, complex projects signify a strategic importance for the project stakeholders in terms of their business strategy, brand image, financial and economic opportunities.

Managing a complex and strategic project requires, in its life-cycle, a specific organization and a specific approach in order to reach the project objectives in terms of cost, time and project performance.

The complexity of a project leads to the existence of interdependent risks, hard to anticipate and keep under control. For complex and strategic projects, it is necessary to identify and assess all the potential risks and opportunities through the whole project life-cycle, and develop action plans to mitigate, eliminate or transfer negative risks.

However, in the early phases of a project, it is difficult to identify and assess project risks. While front end planning is important, not all events and scenarios can be foreseen when the project can take several years to complete and may involve many companies and stakeholders.

In this stage of the project, a strategic and environmental analysis is indispensable for identifying and analyzing the major risk factors for taking a strategic decision about the project. In this study, a formalized Multi-criteria decision making process is developed based on a strategic risk analysis in complex environment.

The external and internal environmental risk and opportunity factors are analyzed in a systematic approach in order to take a strategic decision at three key-steps of the project:

1. At a very early stage and at a strategic level, to consider the opportunity of affecting some resources to a given (possible) project,
2. Later, when they need to decide, after preliminary studies, if it will effectively consider the project and mobilize its engineers for detailed studies,
3. Before the contracting phase in order to develop risk allocation plan and negotiate it with the project customer.
