Making Magic with
Blended Teams
Presented by Becki Hyde, Vice President of Product &
Design, Retrium
Developing software is a risky endeavor full of unknowns. Is
the product viable? Is it desirable? Is it feasible? How can we answer these

Balanced Team and the magic of interdisciplinary work. While individuals can do
great work alone, magic happens when roles work together to break through
constraints–or innovate around them. Becki Hyde will share stories of how
Balanced Teams deliver human-centered software in a world of ambiguity. From
her experience as a practitioner and consultant, she’ll provide insights into
how Balanced Teams work in practice, and the benefits of intentionally working
at the intersection of roles.

EQ Is The New IQ: 10
Ways To Excel At Emotional Intelligence
Presented by Dustin Miller
“Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom” –
Aristotle.
It is said that individuals are hired for what they know and
fired for who they are. While this seems like a grim perspective, it remains a
hard reality backed by statistics across organizations and industries. In 2016,
the World Economic Forum predicted that by 2020 “Overall, social skills such as
persuasion, emotional intelligence and teaching others will be in higher demand
across industries than narrow technical skills, such as programming or
equipment operation and control.” They were eerily accurate in their
prediction.
In this webinar you will learn:
• The difference
between IQ, EQ, and personality.
• The tangible,
hard, financial benefits of having high Emotional Intelligence (EQ).
• How brain function
and chemistry impacts your EQ skills.
• Real-world,
practical, day to day, applications of Emotional Intelligence.
• Advanced emotional
observation skills like MicroExpressions, Advanced Listening, and the Japanese
art of “Kuuki Yomenai” (Reading the Air).
• Practical tips,
techniques, resources, and tools for improving your own EQ.

Like a Successful Start-up in the Digital Era
Presented by Filip Hendrix
Innovation is hard. While ideas are cheap and plentiful,
execution often falls short, and few ideas lead to valuable results within
reasonable time and budget.
- Shift from product thinking to customer thinking.
- Turn a “we believe” mindset into a “what are our
assumptions & how can we validate them” mindset.
- Getting MVPs right: what do we need to build first?
Discover how to make the shift needed to guide idea
development and help bring the most valuable ideas to fruition. Learn how the
shift to digital helps BAs facilitate their organization’s innovation process,
from ideation to value creation. How it enables innovation projects to follow a
validation driven approach, building customer feedback and agility into the
process right from the start.
