Millennial Leaders

In the next 5 years, 20 million baby boomers will retire, leaving organizations with leadership positions to be filled.

Now in 2016, over a fourth of Millennials are in leadership positions and new challenges have surfaced.

This presentation will review these challenges, while helping you solve them through new research, case studies, and strategies.

Join Dan as he:

• Debunks the common millennial myths and discover what makes them both a unique and valuable part of your company
• Explores their strengths, weaknesses, and leadership style based on new research

Action Planning To Build Team Engagement

Action planning is arguably the weakest link in moving the needle on employee engagement; and on average, only half of employees cite having noticed some type of positive change since their last employee survey.

You can create a perfect survey instrument, generate incredible employee participation, produce stunning reports, use an accountability-focused action planning process…and STILL not see the impact you would like!

In this session, Mark Phelps, (LinkedIn profile) Chief Engagement Enthusiast, TNS Employee Insights will not spend time lamenting how difficult it is to encourage managers to create and complete action plans.

Instead … you will hear techniques and approaches used by organizations where employees have experienced positive impact since their last survey.

Key Takeaways:

1. Take a look at employee survey action planning from different organizational perspectives
2. Learn how other organizations like yours have derived success in action planning
3. Receive practical tips, techniques and strategies you can implement today

The biggest source of estimation error usually comes from people, either by accident or strategically.

This is a disaster because viable estimates are core to project success as well as ROI determination and other decision making.

Most people don’t know how to estimate. Those who estimate are often optimistic, full of unintentional bias and sometimes strategically mis-estimating.

Join Dan Galorath (LinkedIn profile) and learn how you can sharpen your estimates.

Although many organizations have embraced continuous integration for speedy deployments, quality can suffer as untested code gets added to the tree.

The choice often becomes:

• Do you release the code fast, or
• Do you release fully tested code?

Because the customer’s answer is always “both,” teams must figure out how to move fast while still maintaining an acceptable level of quality.

Software testers and developers should attend this web seminar to learn how they can implement a merge-and-test workflow, which outperforms continuous integration in both velocity and quality.

In this interactive webinar learn:

1. The theory behind the merge-and-test workflow
2. The pros and cons of merge-and-test versus continuous integration
3. Examples of merge-and-test in action
4. How to build a test harness to optimized for speed
5. What you can automate and what you can’t
