The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared the coronavirus outbreak a global pandemic.

Given that action, you may be required to work at home given the continued spread of the coronavirus-19.  There is little doubt that is putting remote work to the biggest stress-test ever.

Clearly, it is taking place at unprecedented scale.  It has been in the news night after night and not likely to change anytime soon.

Google, Amazon, Facebook, and Microsoft have all been taking part, and the list continues to grow.

Based on the latest briefings and news reports, this trend will progress for weeks, if not months.

A few surveys of employees that work at home feel they are just as productive as they were when they went into the office.  Some actually feel they should work more given they do not have commute time and expense.

Learn to:

1. Properly establish your remote work area
2. Form ground rules of remote communications
3. Get off on the right foot when working from home
4. Short cut possible mistakes by learning from the presenter’s 5 years of practical experience

For companies who leverage human-centered design (HCD), the prizes are rich. Research by the Design Management Institute finds that design-led S&P 500 companies outperform the rest of the index by 211 percent.

Human-centered design is a powerful competitive advantage that many of the world’s leading companies are using to drive innovation, transformation, customer-centricity and business outcomes.

But what exactly is human-centered design?

In an era of always-on transformation, organizations face increasingly diverse and complex business problems that need to be understood and addressed — human-centered thinking helps with both.

Combining analytical and intuitive thinking, the HCD process reshapes companies and people, and embeds new creative problem-solving capabilities, so they can continuously address emerging, and often poorly understood, shifts in customer needs, technology, and the competitive environment.

Join Keith Laplante (Linkedin profile) ExperiencePoint Master Facilitator &  Tom Merrill (LinkedIn profile) ExperiencePoint Master Facilitator to:

• Understand what human-centered design is and how it can be used across organizations to drive customer-centricity, innovation and transformation
• Learn how human-centered design creates a repeatable, scalable and disciplined framework for examining complex problems and solutioning them
• Hear how innovative companies are embedding human-centered design into their culture to create a competitive advantage
• Understand how to identify and overcome common challenges in the human-centered design process

Many technologies could solve the challenges and opportunities facing any organization. The question IT leaders must answer is, “Which ones are right for my organization, and when?”

IT and non-IT executives alike frequently turn to their enterprise architecture programs for answers. The technologies change, but the variables for innovation appetite remain the same.

The appetite for innovation, however, can vary from person to person within an organization.

In this webinar Philip Allega (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) Gartner VP Analyst explores how EA leaders can determine the appetite for innovation, set proper expectations and help deliver technology innovation for the entire organization.

Discussion Topics:

• Understand when EA leads innovation
• Identify critical metrics to determine technology innovation success
• Learn how to deploy Gartner’s customizable innovation framework

Findings From A Large-Scale Agile Development Program

This webinar is based on the article which won the Project Management Institute paper of the year award in 2019: Dingsøyr, T., Moe, N. B., and Seim, E. A., “Coordinating Knowledge Work in Multi-Team Programs: Findings from a Large-Scale Agile Development Program,” Project Management Journal, vol. 49, pp. 64-77, 2018. DOI: 10.1177/8756972818798980.

This article is available as open access check it out here.

Software development projects have undergone remarkable changes with the arrival of agile development approaches.

Although intended for small, self-managing teams, these approaches are today used for large development programs.

A major challenge of such programs is coordinating many teams. This case study describes the coordination of knowledge work in a large-scale agile development program with 12 teams.

The findings highlight coordination modes based on feedback, the use of a number of mechanisms, and how coordination practices change over time.

The findings can improve the outcomes of large knowledge-based development programs by tailoring coordination practices to needs over time.

Kanban and Kaizen are considered by some teams as the natural evolution from Scrum to an Enterprise Level Agile.

While there are few Agile frameworks that adapted Kanban and Kaizen to software development as a scaling up approach, it is little known that these Lean Six Sigma practices originated in manufacturing more than 50 years ago.

In fact, the 1990s Agile Enterprise used Kanban and Kaizen at scale for large teams and complex products, proving their utility.

In this webinar Stelian Roman (LinkedIn profile) will describe how the Lean Six Sigma Kanban and Kaizen tools can be scaled down to Agile Teams, combining Agility with Process Improvement practices as a way to deliver efficiency while embracing change.
