In 2016 organisations are faced with ever increasing complexity, disruption and the need to deliver a first class, engaging experience, whilst driving efficiencies and innovation at the same time.
Organisations, leaders and teams that get the people elements right (collaboration, motivation and direction) are the ones that will succeed this decade and the next few to come. They are the ones that fight complexity, do more with less, create the leading edges of innovation and attract the best talent (from the global stage).

“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.”

Improve your meetings, workshops and training by mastering the art of facilitation.
Summary:
Agile is all about collaboration and this means more time talking with people and truly understanding requirements. Mostly this results in more meetings. You need to make every meeting productive and effective, and the way to do that is through facilitation.

It’s not just about the stories.
This workshop teaches a technique which builds upon and extends the familiar (from XP) planning game. Blitz planning is a fast moving activity which supports the development of the first three month planning horizon for any technology project. Technical and business stakeholders work together to rapidly identify project dependencies and bottlenecks and out any potential hidden surprises in your project.

If the most important factor for team performance is the combination of skills, personalities and relations between team members, the crucial question is “How do we best design teams?”.
Here’s a radical idea: Trust people to know best and let them decide which team they should work in. Let them self-select! Drawing on our experience and our book “Creating Great Teams – How Self-selection Lets People Excel”, we will show you how to make this possible.
