Fortune 500 companies are urgently adapting Agile to their work, whether building eLearning or IT solutions.  Unfortunately, just about everyone is a novice.

Agility, collaboration and learning through mistakes is NOT the way most teams are used to working.  Training professionals have the unique ability to help grow a new Agile way for people to work together to serve the customer needs.

Transitioning to an Agile philosophy, process, tools and mindset is a positive experience, but only after you let go of your Unconscious Bias to Hierarchy.

The focus changes to:

  • Satisfying the customer
  • Embracing constant change
  • Creating working ‘stuff’ instead of lots of diagrams
  • Equal voice and contribution
  • Emphasizing face to face (not email) interaction
  • Choosing simplicity over everything
  • Constantly adjusting through reflection and learning

Training professionals are often more qualified to identify and shift culture, collaborate no matter what, and focus on the hard “Soft” skills – collaboration, communication and clarity.

But traditional workshop will not be popular.  Learn how to transfer learning in small ways within the Agile process.

Learn to lead the charge by:

  • Building confidence in leading in the Agile space through in the moment learning.
  • Identifying how roles and norms are different in Agile and how they create anxiety in a hierarchical company
  • Learn from stories of others so you can use your training powers to lead your company through the rough cultural transition. Lead the people side of Agile to support your IT project success.

Presenter: Lou Russell (LinkedIn profile) is President and CEO of L+EARN and Russell Martin & Associates. Lou delivers learning experiences that are fun, flexible, fast and measurable. She believes that learning and earning go hand in hand and focuses on faculty development, retention and recruitment of students, project management, leadership and organizational learning opportunities.

Do You Want To Follow A Script
Or Write Your Own Story?

In her talk, based on her new book Rebel Talent, Francesca Gino, PhD (LinkedIn profile) will share insights on why the most successful among us break the rules, and how rebellion brings joy and meaning into our lives.

Rebels have a bad reputation.

We think of them as troublemakers, outcasts, contrarians: those colleagues, friends, and family members who complicate seemingly straightforward decisions, create chaos, and disagree when everyone else is in agreement.

But in truth, rebels are also those among us who change the world for the better with their unconventional outlooks. Instead of clinging to what is safe and familiar, and falling back on routines and tradition, rebels defy the status quo.

Rebels Are Masters
Of Innovation & Reinvention, & They Have A Lot To Teach Us!

Francesca has spent more than a decade studying rebels at organizations around the world, from high-end boutiques in Italy’s fashion capital, to the World’s Best Restaurant, to a thriving fast food chain, to an award-winning computer animation studio.

In her work, she has identified leaders and employees who exemplify “Rebel Talent,” and whose examples we can all learn to embrace.

Whether you want to inspire others to action, build a business, or build more meaningful relationships, Rebel Talent will show you how to succeed — by breaking all the rules.

HISTORY NOTE:   First, Break All The Rules: What the World’s Greatest Managers Do Differently  is one of the best known most used business books in Fortune 100 companies.  This session on Rebel Talent builds on the answer to how does your organization   Break All The Rules.

Note: SHRM has pre-approved this webcast for 1 Professional Development Credits (PDCs) towards SHRM-CP℠ or SHRM-SCP℠ Certifications.
