Since its debut on December 17, 1989, The Simpsons has broadcast more than 600 episodes, and was named by Time as “The greatest TV show of the 20th century.” It has won dozens of awards, including 31 Primetime Emmy Awards, 30 Annie Awards and a Peabody Award.

Joel Cohen has been a key part of the show’s success. A graduate of the University of Alberta (B.Sc.) and York University (M.B.A.), he found success in the corporate world before making a completely illogical career move into comedy writing.

Cohen’s experience as both a “creative” and a “suit” has not only left him with a puzzling resume, it also gives him a unique perspective to discuss innovation and its place in business.

In his fascinating and wonderfully humorous presentation, he provides vibrant stories and key lessons we can take away from the show’s culture of innovation.

Every organization in every industry across the globe faces the same directive: Innovate or risk becoming obsolete.

Leaders across the enterprise must embrace new ideas and technologies, and often from new sources of inspiration.

Companies increasingly involve business technologists in innovation initiatives, but to leverage them as force multipliers, IT leaders must move from owning innovation to enabling others to innovate autonomously.

Meetings are a necessary part of every project manager’s (and agilists’) day. However, as important as these events are (yes, meetings are events!), they are frequently poorly run and leave both meeting leaders and attendees dissatisfied.

This can be detrimental to the project because of inherent miscommunication or non-communication, to say nothing of the reputation of the project leader. In this session, attendees will learn the fundamentals of good meeting management starting with having a good agenda to being “large and in charge” to dealing with meeting goblins – those nasty personalities that sometimes emerge during meetings.

The increasing role of AI in meeting facilitation will also be discussed.

Learning Objectives:

• Understand the importance of planning for your meetings and your projects – and how this impacts your project team
• Recognize and deal with disruptive meeting behavior and gain tips on how to prevent others from hijacking your meeting.
• Differentiate online meeting facilitation skills from those needed for face-to-face meetings
• Identify ways in which AI can be (and has already been) made part of meeting facilitation

In this webinar Tam. Abaku (LinkedIn profile) speaks about Open Government and the Adaptive Public sector, and it is hinged on Power Skills on the PMI Triangle.

Public sector initiatives can originate from citizens, but if a government is not open there will be no recognition for civic space, and it might be impossible for citizens to have a voice in what the government does.

Open government creates the necessary framework for civil society and the public to be able to make input in governance; enabling citizens to hold leaders accountable via open data, while preventing wrongdoings on both sides.

This webinar will provide insights into the concept of open government and explain why it is a precondition for advancing an adaptive public sector. Lessons will be drawn from Estonia’s openness-by-design, and some testimonies shared during the recently held Open Government Partnership Summit.

Walk away with an understanding of the following points:

1. It is better to be open-by-design
2. It is not too late to start transforming processes that lead to open Government
3. One way the Public sector can use technology for good is by being open
4. In the context of good governance – public leadership should be open for accountability

The way we perceive the world around us can limit our view of what is possible and impossible. If we believe something cannot be done, then we cease to seek ways to do it, and in many cases, this means we make tradeoffs that are unnecessary and even destructive.

To become effectively agile, one must learn to overcome this limitation, to see what is possible, and to act in alignment with value.

Join Scott Bain (LinkedIn profile) in this presentation which demonstrates how this can be done with multiple examples.
