It is hard enough to work with the pace of change and level of complexity being so high.  Add to that serious turbulence and you got a “recipe” for serious stress and significant reduction in high quality productivity.

To get through the turbulence and come out stronger on the other side is not easy but it is possible.  In this session we talk about why turbulence reduces our ability to make proper decisions and give you ways to fight that ingrained biases. From there we will discuss techniques you can use to help work through the turbulence and continue to make decisions, effectively communicate, execute with precision and deal with the stress.

This is a HIGHLY interactive session. We will share stories, discuss scenarios, share tips and provide support.  Items to be covered and discussed include:

·  Affective forecasting and loss aversion

·  The habit of setting dates for things to be better

· Controlling your inputs

· Getting inspired and being inspirational

· Executing in smaller batches

· Resting smartly, thinking more and logging ideas

· Communicate, communicate, communicate

· Controlling decision making

·  Keeping positive while be direct and honest

For more on agile and David’s focus today with SoftEd. Since the signing of the Agile Manifesto in 2001 https://agilemanifesto.org/ the agile way of working has taken the project management, application development and software delivery world by storm. At least a million professionals have obtained some type of agile certification. Organizations have transformed their process of software development and delivery leading to increased services and capabilities for internal and external customers, driving productivity increases and revenue growth.

With this success, the agile way of working has starting to enter other work areas, Marketing, product Development, Operations, Management, Human Resources, and Finance to name a few. Organizations that have seen the success of agile in one area of their company want to push that success to all areas of their company. One certification body that provides a road map to agile adoption through the organization is IC Agile https://www.icagile.com/Learning-Roadmap/Business-Agility with their roadmap of certification for professionals beyond software development and project management, which is being called Business Agility.
