The rise in popularity of Agile methods during the last decade has been both a benefit and a challenge for project and portfolio management teams.

While Agile methods have proven to increase and accelerate value to organizations by delivering faster and better results when applied to the right projects and in the right way, many organizations still struggle to figure out what to do with these new approaches for managing projects.

When this happens, Agile methods can become an obstacle and hindrance to benefits realization.

By breaking down the methodologies into smaller components, Benoit will explore how the ingredients of traditional and Agile can be blended more easily, doing away with dogmatic approaches.

Learn:

  • How Agile is different but also similar to traditional methods
  • How Agile techniques can complement more traditional approaches
  • What other companies are doing to improve how they manage work this way.

The trick to keeping high-level requirements high-level is recognizing that an information system has five fundamental capabilities.

This webinar discusses what those capability types are, and how they can be used to document HLRs that set the scene for either detailed requirements, or evaluating COTS solutions.

Similarities and differences between an HLR and an unrefined user story:

  • How HLRs refine a project’s initial scope
  • The five fundamental capabilities of an information system
  • How to avoid detail-level requirements during HLR elicitation
  • The critical difference between stakeholders and subject matter experts

You do your job because you are good at writing, graphics, software, projects, or you have mastered instructional design and technologies.
But you have no clue what matters in your business. Your boss says, “We want training quick and useful.” And the boss does not tell you why and how.

Consequently, your learning and training programs are off-target, off-mark, and do not hit what the boss wants. Your boss is unimpressed. You are exasperated.

In this webinar, Ray will share his consulting toolkit and experience on how to understand the business mindset.

The Business Impacts Framework will help you discover where to find the correct targets inside your business and how to use your expertise in design, development, and delivery to create results. This webinar takes you to a “real sample” to understand the business mindset.

Topics to cover:

  • Why is training often thought of as the “dispensable cost” department?
  • What is the difference between the L&D mindset and business mindset?
  • What is the The Business Impacts Framework?
  • What are business impacts and how do these areas drive your learning and training solutions?
    • Flow and speed
    • Costs and yields
    • Technology disruptions
    • Errors and returns
    • Payback, profits, and costs
    • Capital, balance sheet
    • Customers, suppliers, and shareholders
    • Materials, equipment, people, processes
  • How to estimate the business impacts of your learning and training projects?
  • What to do when your leadership has very antiquated beliefs based on century-old learning principles?
  • How to ask questions to your boss to keep a business mindset?
  • Why is it essential for your survival to have the “business impacts” mindset?

Note  Attend the webinar and obtain Ray’s The Business Impacts Framework Worksheet.

Below you will see the Business Impacts Framework. These are areas that your bosses’ mindsets are focused on. Where and how will your training and learning programs impact the business?

You will get best practices on how to drive AI responsibly to increase trust, maintain compliance, protect your reputation and, most of all, do wonderful things safely.

Discussion Topics:

  • Why is responsible AI critical to business and society
  • The most critical aspects of responsible AI
  • Where and how to start implementing responsible AI
