Lean-thinking is the combination of applying known software development principles with lean-management and lean-learning work in order to speed time-to-market while improving quality and lowering costs. It provides insights from project initiation through development, deployment and consumption by the customer (internal in IT and external in product companies). Lean focuses on helping people improve the environment and systems in which they work.

While first generation agile methods have a solid track record at the team level, many agile transformations get stuck trying to expand throughout the organization. With a set of principles that can help improve software development quality and productivity, Lean Thinking provides a method for escaping the trap of local optimization.

Transform Your Most Valuable Business Contacts into Personal and Professional Success

Relationship Economics isn’t about taking advantage of friends or coworkers to get ahead. It’s about prioritizing and maximizing a unique return on strategic relationships to fuel unprecedented growth. Based on the author’s global speaking and consulting engagements, Relationship Economics reveals that success comes from investing in people for extraordinary returns. This revised and updated version explains the three major types of relationships—personal, functional, and strategic—and how to focus each to fuel enterprise growth. It introduces new concepts in relationship management, including the exchange of Relationship Currency®, the accumulations of Reputation Capital®, and the building of Professional Net Worth®. These are the fundamental measures of business relationships, and once you understand them, you’ll be able to turn your contacts into better executions, performance, and results

Relationship Economics takes a unique long term, strategic and quantifiable view of business relationships that goes far beyond networking oriented books. Nowadays, many companies believe that networking is a key to success. Relationship Economics shows us that this notion is a mere fallacy.

With this course, the reader will learn that success comes from learning how to invest in people for an extraordinary return. Readers will be able to understand and develop the three types of relationships: personal, functional and strategic – that will ultimately help hone critical skills to not only develop a nose for identifying great opportunities, but which relationships to tap for execution, performance and results.

Presented on May 16, 2011 – Seattle Scrum Gathering

One of the challenges of agile is coming to grips with the role of leaders and managers of self-organizing teams. Many go to the extreme of refusing to exert any influence on their teams at all. Others retain too much of a command-and-control style.

Leading a self-organizing team can be a fine line.

In this session you will learn the proper ways to influence the path taken by a team to solving the problems given to it. You will learn how to become comfortable in this role. You’ll understand why influencing a self-organizing team is neither sneaky nor inappropriate but is necessary.
