Live Webinar May 5th, 2021 – 2:00 pm to 3:00 pm EDT
Activity Type: Education – Course or Training  1 Hour  1 PDU
Provider: Human Capital Institute

For a great introduction to “Mindfulness”,  how it works, and its application to the workplace: read Professor David J Lee’s article, Mindfulness In The Workplace sponsored by Miami Miller School of Medicine & NIOSH.

Mindfullness has become a staple offering within the HR toolkit.

In fact, over half of all large corporations now offer some form of mindfulness training to employees.

This prevalence seems to be justified as mindfulness research suggests this quality can support the well-being, relationships and performance of employees at work. Surprising to some, there has not been any rigorous research that shows potential downsides to mindfulness at work — that is, until now.

A recent series of studies demonstrates that under specific workplace conditions mindfulness becomes a detriment to employee performance.

In this session, you will:

  • Understand how mindfulness can both support and undermine workplace outcomes
  • Engage in a short introductory meditation
  •  Learn how these current research findings help reveal more about the presentation of emotions at work
  • ·Explore ways to further support employees who are receiving mindfulness training

Agile, for many a silver bullet, worked pretty well for software development teams with most of them being the first attempt to have a structured approach.

Bringing some order to chaos was beneficial, and the results were in some cases spectacular. Most, if not all Agile frameworks were developed by software engineers and for software engineers.

Apart from a couple of frameworks, like Disciplined Agile and SAFe that combine Agile with traditional Lean practices used in manufacturing, most Agile frameworks were developed for small teams (less than 10) and a start-up culture.

In real life, Agile does fail, more often than we think and far more often than we learn in the training courses. Agile became the victim of its success with some organizations trying to use Agile as a remedy for core issues like lack of vision, lack of decision or even lack of skills.

Contrary to public opinion, Agile and self-organization require more skills and discipline than command and control.

To be Agile, an Organization must be Agile at all levels not only at the team level. Agile is based on trust; verbal agreements should be enough. There is no need of sign-offs and approvals for each and every activity. But that’s a risk when there are multiple parties involved, especially when commercial agreements are made between entities.

In this webinar Stelian Roman (LinkedIn profile)  will describe acollection of real life projects that he had to balance Agility with traditional practices.

In most cases, the solution was the return to following a plan. For each example there will be an assessment of the causes that lead to failure, what the organization could’ve done better, and lessons learned that could prevent such issues.
