Come and have fun at the end of a long day at LAST! We are on at 4pm and intend to help you wrap up your LAST experience in an enjoyable way (while still learning!)

Using your creative cutting, gluing and colouring skills(!), participants will experience how to implement and improve a Kanban system using the 6 Core Principles of Kanban.

Understanding how to create value by limiting work in process (WIP), understanding the impact waste has in a system and how to create value for the business and the customer, by focussing on quality and throughput.

Over 3 rounds participants will learn how Kanban increases output, improves quality and creates a sustainable way of working and at the same have a great deal of fun! This builds on the original game as devised and commons shared by Agile 42

This panel provides an outline/story of the introduction of scaled agile in non IT. It is a personal story of a Project Manager becoming a scrum master in the development of a Business innovation division.

Our thinking creates our behaviour, our results and non-results and thus our effectiveness as a leader.

This talk aims to address leadership from a different angle - from a thinking model - research based and rooted in human behaviour psychology, it explores and explains the limitations and talent leaders have to create change and why even with the best intentions, results are not achieved or are achieved poorly.

Developed by Sharon Pearson of The Coaching Institute - the Meta Dynamics ^TM Profiling tool provides insight into our leadership thinking styles.

Imagine this:

You are an accomplished developer/architect and have just been promoted to the role of a people leader.

Your focus needs to shift from detailed technical capabilities that got you there, to strategic thinking and people leadership. Whilst you are excited about the role, but you are not sure how to go about that.

OR

Imagine you have become the head of a department. You are excited about the new strategy, yet people don't seem to be buying into the vision. You are not sure why they don't get it and feel frustrated.

OR

Imagine you are heading up a large program of work, yet you find it hard to let go of the detailed metrics and KPI's and notice how you drive people nuts with your micro-management. You want to let go, but are not sure. It seems hard.

Chances are that you have either experienced any of those or similar challenges as a leader or have been the recipient of that type of leadership. It likely means you are frustrated. The last thing you want to do is to give up without ever knowing what is possible for you to achieve. A life lived where your full potential is just out of reach is a life lived in frustration and disappointment.

This is to the story of [email protected] and how we build strong and successful agile organisational capability at the team and scaled level up to the portfolio in a large program of work.

Hear how we created an internally run Agile Training Academy and what influence, skills, persuasion and proof it takes to get that over the line and to keep it growing and adding value.

We are now running internationally accredited in house training educating over 700 people in the last 2 years We have not only saved the organisation thousands of dollars on training costs, but more importantly built career paths for our internal permanent people to become accredited trainers in SAFe and Agile Fundamentals

Trainees benefit because they are trained by in house experienced trainers who understand the organisational context.

This is a story about building organisational capability

This practical talk aims to bring together the latest insights, research and knowledge from the field of neuroscience and neuroplasticity, my expertise and application of human behavioural models, rooted in psychology, my role as an agile and people change coach and what this means for agile transformation programs.

After recently spending 2 days in a workshop with Norman Doidge - Psychiatrist and author of 2 books about brain change, I believe this information adds a valuable dimension to the understanding of people change and how our brains change, learn, adapt to new conditions (and effectively resist them, despite knowing better), from a neurophysiology and human behaviour perspective.

Drawing on my years of experience in agile transformation and people change and Normans teachings, I aim to answer the following questions:

• What is neuroplasticity?
• How does the brain filter and process information?
• What is the difference between the left and right brain?
• How are our preferences for left or right brain thinking created?
• What does that mean for our ability to accept change?
• What is mental rigidity and how is it created?
• What types of beliefs and attitudes create mental flexibility and mental rigidity?
• How does the agile way of working affect neuroplastic changes?
• First hand exercises on exploring mental rigidity
• Exercises on how to access the left and right brain.
• Participants get to take home information on the talk

Who procrastinates on a regular basis? Who occasionally self sabotages? Are you sure what you really want from life? Do the experiences you are having right now fulfill you?  Do you think you could be more fulfilled and if you had that, is that a goal worth obtaining? Is happiness the same as fulfillment and where does being passionate come into it? How can understanding fulfillment help us be more connected to what we do and who we work with? 

If there was a structured approach, a formula, to guide you towards fulfillment and help you identify your gaps, would that be worth exploring? 

Join Christiane in an interactive session to collaboratively explore what fulfillment means to you. We will break down the elements of the fulfillment formula and understand how each element plays a vital part in bringing deep, meaningful experiences to our lives. Through self reflection exercises and shared group insights participants will walk out with a clearer understanding on what fulfillment means to them.
