In an agile world, team members are empowered to make important decisions within the context of the behavioral architecture, without having to ask permission from supervisors or managers.

But these supervisors and managers are coming from a lifetime of learning how to succeed in a hierarchical world, so they will need to leave behind those ingrained lessons.

In order for agile to be successful at scale, leaders will need to change.

Join Jeff Dalton (LinkedIn profile) & Learn:

• Nine actionable lessons for Agile Leaders
• A framework to succeed with Agile leadership
• A set of Metrics for Agile leaders
• How to measure Enterprise Agile Performance

UberEats and McDonald’s now use drones for food delivery. Alexa and Google Assistant are now regarded as significant “assisting companions” for both home and office.

These are just examples of business and operations digitalization happening across all industries including government and non-profit entities.

The CEO of Microsoft, Satya Nadella says, “We are just starting a multi-trillion industry.” Every business will need to have a digital strategy in place if they are to survive.  This trend, impacts learning design and delivery.

Thought leaders like John Hagel (LinkedIn profile) and Josh Bersin (LinkedIn profile) suggest that there must be a shift in the types of skills that must be developed.

We need to redirect our energy from being overly focused on skills, roles and tasks based on instructions. There is an increasing need to begin to “scale” capacities for people to handle unknown, unexpected, and rapidly changing technologies; acquiring new skills that workers need when automation and A.I. take over many of the routine tasks and roles that people do.

The new capacities should include:

1. Thinking through problems,
2. Data analysis,
3. Troubleshooting,
4. Risks analysis,
5. Design thinking,
6. Decision mapping & many others.

The challenge is, how do we disrupt our own learning practices to scale employees capacities? How and where do we start?

Topics to cover:

• Why will digital disruptions change the face of work, now and in the future?
• What elements are needed when “scaling” workers’ capacities?
• How do you assess your current learning ecosystems and integrate “scaling” capacities?
• What are the 7 steps for ”scaling” capacities?
• How does “scaling” capacities impact learning design, development, delivery and technologies?
• How do you, as L&D professionals become active contributors in “scaling” of capacities?
• Three case studies will be shared in the webinar.

Necessity is the Mother of Invention.  But research shows us that creativity emerges from time to think, backing off, having some slack in the system.

In 1999 Coleman was on the ropes. The business had been sold and then sold again. Everyone who could leave had left.

Imagine that you return to take over as President to see what you can do to salvage the situation …and then Walmart calls asking to see the plan. No plans exist. No one is home to make a plan.

• What are the rules when all of the rules are broken?
• How to be strategic when survival is the only strategy that makes sense?
• How to be customer centered when the customer is out of patience?

Innovation doesn’t have to take the usual amount of time when you have an unusual amount of focus.

In this session with Jennifer Arnold,  Kimberly Johnson (LinkedIn profile), & Christopher Miller (LinkedIn profile) ,we will see what we can learn from the extraordinary Coleman case study with examples from other burning platform cases (Hershey’s Dessert Bar, Johnson Controls Automotive and DuPont-Merck that we can apply to everyday business processes).
