9:00–9:45 a.m. Re – Story – ation (beyond project management)There can be no denying that our society and worldview is changing, you better chose to (re)create your story before it’s written for you. Create a new story that goes beyond the current western worldview based on the efficiency and the success of the company, by shifting the focus to the human behind the leader and team members. “Re-story-ation” in which delivery is merely the result of applying collective intelligence, unleashing the big potential in you and your team members while thriving for professional and personal growth, purpose, fulfilment and happiness. “Re-story-ation” is for those who dare to go down the road of self-knowledge, beyond the ego and being benevolent towards the success, fulfilment and happiness of their team members. |

10:30–11:15 p.m. Your Culture is Your ProductWithout a professional culture, Lean, Agile, SAFe or any other canned process will fail. Historically, we've had team building exercises or confused Agile or Lean for culture. They are not culture, but they do rely on it. A professional culture builds-in agency, psychological safety, and quality by understanding that individuals interact through their processes and tools. Individuals work in teams to create value. You need to be intentional about how your culture is structured and maintained. Otherwise, overload, confusion, and frustration will win...every time. Jim Benson brings decades of experience in building collaborative and professional cultures in software, construction, world government, insurance... you name it. People are the same across silos and across types of work...we all want quality, completion, and professional satisfaction. Come see how it is done and how Jim describes it in his new book The Collaboration Equation. |
