Presented by Scott Young, Consultant
A successful engagement with the
correct stakeholders will result in a full understanding of what the vision,
challenges and opportunities are, as well as confirm the current state of the
organization.
Understanding how the organization
currently looks and what it can achieve is the starting point to helping the
customer meet their strategic goals and objectives.
This allows an assessment of their current capabilities, which when compared to an analysis of the target state, enables a gap analysis to be performed. The gap in these business capabilities is the opportunity to demonstrate how to deliver solutions tailored to the customer's needs.
In this hour-long webinar, business
technology expert Scott Young will cover:
·
Capability Modeling
o Modeling services.
o Business conceptual layer.
o Fulfilling objectives and responsibilities.
·
Capability Gap Analysis
o Gap between current performance and future performance.
o Capability gap and complex transformation programs.
o Organizational design.

Be a Connected Leader: Working Up, Down and Across the Organization to Advance Your Initiatives
Presented by Dave Gray, Management Consultant
The Inside Story of How to Drive Strategic Initiatives
It's sometimes said that there is no constant but change.
With smart phones, apps for everything, and self-driving
cars on the horizon, the business world seems to be changing faster than ever.
For most organizations, this is a scary time. It seems certain that your
industry will be disrupted, although it's hard to know how or when.
With all this change on the outside, however, change from the inside seems harder than ever. People cling to habits and routines, and even when the wolf is at the door, it seems that people resist change, even when everyone knows it's necessary.
It's hard enough to instigate change from the top, but what if you're not the CEO? What if you're somewhere in the middle? What can you do?
It turns out there's a lot you can do. Dave Gray will show you how to navigate the complex underlying social dynamics in organizations, so you can find the doorways that will lead to truly meaningful change.
What You Will Learn
· Why people argue about things that seem obvious
·
Four illusions that keep people stuck in their current
mindset
·
Why you can never be objective about your role in change
·
Why behavior is the last thing you should focus on changing
·
How to find the doorways that will lead to real, meaningful
change

The Scaled Agile Framework
Presented by Jenny Tarwater
IT Organizations have been using Agile methodologies for years to deliver more value to their customers in less time. While frameworks such as Scrum, Kanban and Extreme Programming enable frequent communication from individual teams to their customers, often we find organizations will still rely on Waterfall relics such as Status Reports, Change Control Boards and multiple meetings to enable this communication beyond the scope of the team and those local goals. The Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe), developed by Dean Leffingwell, outlines an approach to help organizations harness the power of Agile throughout the enterprise and then provides a framework to ensure a consistent cadence and alignment between teams, projects, portfolios, and programs moving the entire organization in a shared, positive direction. SAFe seeks to keep everyone informed, engaged, and involved while focusing on delivering the maximum amount of enterprise value. This webinar defines what SAFe is, how it is being used by today's leading development innovators, and how to use SAFe to lead the adoption of Lean and Agile methods across your enterprise.
