Steps To Developing A Strategic Mindset

Many organizations have the tendency to lose their grasp on long-term plans in order to get immediate results. That’s why strategic thinking skills are essential for employees at all levels.

Everyone needs to be able to evaluate ideas, devise alternatives, make hard choices and align tactics to reach business objectives.

This program offers you a powerful introduction to the expanded course AMA’s Strategic Thinking seminar, explaining the combination of concepts around the skills needed to think strategically, and the practices that allow participants to develop and hone their skills in a classroom environment.

This course is designed for people who want to be able to move beyond day-to-day, reactionary thinking to gain a more long-term and future-focused perspective.

In This Session Learn:

• Traits that determine the ability to think strategically
• An introduction to AMA’s 9-part model for strategic thinking
• Tips for putting the model into practice in your daily life

We encourage you to register even if you are unable to attend live; you’ll receive replay information following the event.

• Have you or your Agile teams had trouble refining requirements on an Agile project?
• Are your teams struggling with user stories and tasks that are too large for them to handle well?

If so, you and your teams need more guidance to implement backlog / user story grooming.

Backlog grooming is a step-by-step process of taking high-level (“coarse-grained”) requirements and refining them to lower-level user stories and tasks (“fine-level”) that are ready to put into a sprint.

In RefineM’s Backlog/Story Grooming presentation, attendees will learn how to work the process to achieve fine-grained requirements that are ready just in time.

The key to success is leveraging tools and techniques as well as the expertise of your team to refine requirements iteratively.

Presenter: NK Shrivastava (LinkedIn profile) PMP, PMI-RMP, PMI-ACP, CSM, SPC, is CEO of RefineM LLC and an experienced and certified Project Management Consultant, Risk Management Professional, and Agile Coach with over 25 years of experience in project management. NK is an experienced instructor/trainer on project management and Agile topics and specializes in project management fundamentals, risk management, and project recovery.

Innovators have long recognized that constraints very often stimulate or guide the process of creativity and innovation.  When ‘the box is the limit’, creativity often comes to the surface organically as the most ultimate and natural solution.

That’s why restraints should never be a reason not to innovate. Often the contrary is true: they accelerate creativity, the driving force behind innovation.

In this webinar, Walter Vandervelde (LinkedIn profile) will prove that constraints should not limit innovation through multiple inspiring examples from different industries.

Moreover, Walter will hand us five unique techniques on how to use natural or self-imposed constraints to the benefit of creativity and innovation.

This webinar is aimed at every professional who’s convinced that creativity plays a crucial role in the daily work environment, but is also aware of the boundaries that take away the illusion of ‘the sky is the limit’.

At the end of the webinar, you will get an access code for downloading the tools that come with the five techniques and which can be used to facilitate your own creative (team) sessions.

Much research and many popular books have been directed toward understanding the pursuit and achievement of mastery.

A common understanding has emerged that mastery is more directly dependent upon the amount of time devoted toward deliberate practice.

In mature skill areas, mastery can require 10,000 hours or more of deliberate practice.  An organization or team filled with members who are committed toward achieving mastery is both desirable and elusive regardless of the industry or field.

The key to achievement of mastery on an organizational or team level is individual motivation.  Historically, most motivational research and advice has focused on extrinsic motivation.

Recently, research has focused more and more on the power of intrinsic motivation.

Intrinsically motivating teams can seem complicated and even contradictory.  However, understanding the practical sources of intrinsic motivation can help managers apply the principles to real-world situations and increase their team’s drive to achieve mastery.

Join David Kachoui (LinkedIn profile), Kimberly Johnson (LinkedIn profile), &  Brian Cohn (LinkedIn profile)  and discover the power of  Intrinsic Motivation.

Terminology sections or documents are critical resources for implementing a standard. However, users tend to take them for granted as just being part of the standard.

But did you know:

• In what situation a word or phrase is selected to be defined as a term in the terminology document or section?
• What science is behind the definition of a term?
• How to find definitions of a term in various standards for free?
• How to relate the meaning of a term to the meaning in common dictionaries?
• The word or phrase will be not be adopted as a term if the intended meaning of the word or phrase is found in a dictionary?
• If not, you are not alone. New terms are not adopted easily in standards. It’s a profound process – dull to some – yet largely unknown to people.

Panelists will shed light on the process & provide background info on:

• The ISO and Technical Committee structure
• Why some consider terminology work dull, yet profound
• The science behind a term
• Terminology principles
• Concept systems
• The difference between a glossary and a terminology document

2. Kimberly Johnson (LinkedIn profile),
