Recognizing potential bias in your organization is the easy part.

We can see the issues, but how do we begin breaking down barriers and creating inclusion?

When it comes to confronting racism and bias, many of us have no idea how to start the conversation.

That is when doubt, hesitation, and even fear can creep in. What if sharing your concern only makes matters worse?

What if someone feels they are being falsely labeled or unjustly “accused”?

These potential scenarios can be frightening for many reasons:

• As an organization,
  • you can decide to do nothing and hope for the best,
  • or you can equip your people with the skills to engage in these critical conversations and
  • mitigate their own biases.

In this session, Robert will explore ways to create the conditions for successfully addressing bias in a way that promotes dialog and discovery.

You’ll learn how to:

• Recognize organizational situations/conditions that need to be addressed.
• Establish clear goals for a successful outcome.
• Create an environment that promotes learning and change.
• Provide ongoing support.

Project-based thinking and process is often the largest inhibitor of achieving agility. It explains why the notion of ‘Project to Product’ has gained such popularity to the point of becoming a buzzword in recent years.

Despite the enthusiasm about becoming a product-driven organization, many companies still hang onto their old project-based ways due to some “big rock” constraints, including funding and separation of IT and business.

So, what can you do to make a successful shift?

Join Anne Steiner, Cprime’s VP of Product & Technology, to explore the challenges you may face in your product agility journey and how to overcome them. We’ll explore:

• Common constraints you may encounter when shifting from project to product and how to address them
• How to shift to product based funding models
• The role of the product manager
• Benefits you’ll experience with true product agility

Presenter:  Anne Steiner  (LinkedIn profile) VP of Product and Technology at Cprime leads the Cprime Product Agility and Technology practice. She was previously band leader for DevJam. DevJam has helped companies of all shapes and sizes transform from traditional, project-thinking to become product-driven organizations that emphasize continuous learning.
