They know that the “new normal” includes the unexpected, and both the known and unknown unknowns. That today’s, and tomorrow’s, challenges need a focus on learning and learning fast. What is your current speed to learning?

Savvy leaders, with and without formal titles, emerge in every part of the organisation. They all turn their attention to creating effective environments for collaboration and discovery. They appreciate the profound difference between individual contribution, cooperation, and going beyond high performance. They understand that whole teams need fluency in shared skills and co-intelligence. Today’s leaders seek to design work processes and climates for building responsibility and motivation. They look for ways to model and support a learning organisation. How well does your organisation capture and capitalise on learning?

The challenge for today and tomorrow lies in the ability to expect and accept the pace and ambiguity of a complex world of business. Where does your organisation foster and support resilience and sustainability?

Join Diana Larsen, co-author of the book Lead without Blame: Building Resilient Learning Teams. Together you’ll explore three new ideas for effective leadership to strengthen team resilience. Leadership for the 2020’s, and beyond, means motivation and learning for whole teams, as well as individual team members.

Workshop Outline

In Part 1 of this workshop, we’ll consider team motivation

• how to recognise the impact of blame on knowledge work, and in the workplace
• better alternatives for accomplishing accountability and motivation
• how focus on three motivators makes a difference

In Part 2, of the workshop, we’ll examine team leadership through the lens of:

• the advantages of understanding RENEW
• the 4C’s of learning leaders and leadership behaviours
• two areas of concentration for personal development

Finally, in Part 3, we’ll share experiences of the evolution of working together. We will explore four critical factors that build resilient teams. Building from those factors, leaders will prepare a plan for next steps.

Diana will pose a few intriguing points to start the discussions (and you will discover new perspectives) along the way!

This full-day Workshop is designed for Team Members, Team Leads, Managers, & Executives.

Through exercises and lively discussion, you’ll leave this workshop with a solid overview of the product management lifecycle, from the formation of an idea through to developing a go-to-market strategy and launching it into the market. We’ll unpack the never-ending challenge of project management being confused with product management and we’ll wrap with what great product teams look like and how they organise themselves.

Who’s this for?
Whilst this is great for Product Managers, Product Leaders, Product Owners, Product Strategists, and Product Marketers, this workshop will be useful for anyone that is either on a product team or interacts with a product team: engineers, delivery managers, BAs, UX or research specialists, or business subject-matter experts. You may also be someone who’s considering a transition to product management.

For those of you who feel that all you do is software delivery (outputs), this workshop will show the full potential of great product management (outcomes).

Your Hosts Organa
Your Organa hosts grew up as product managers, learning great product management in a variety of companies and between them clocking up more than 50 released digital products. They all fell in love with new ways of working like agile and have been mashing product management and agile together for decades. They’re also certified trainers so you’re guaranteed the workshops will be engaging, lively and informative.

In this workshop, Steve Denning addresses the central management challenge of our time, how to accelerate the transition to a management that fits the digital age.

It builds on the fact that the most resilient firms today are those that have taken to heart the 1954 maxim, on which Peter Drucker repeatedly insisted: “There is only one valid purpose of a corporation: to create a customer.” The result is an emergent kind of management that has many names, including

• Management 2.0 (Richard Straub),
• Customer capitalism (Curt Carlson),
• The experience economy (Joe Pine),
• Working backwards from the customer (Amazon),
• Discovery driven planning (Rita McGrath) and empowering customers (Satya Nadella)

It is a way of operating that is fundamentally different from industrial-era management, and a key ingredient of the digital transformations that most large firms are now attempting. The workshop explains why the goal of creating value for customers lies at the heart of activating resilience and the entrepreneurial spirit. The workshop embodies in principles and processes that enable firms to move more quickly, operate more efficiently, mobilise more resources, attract more talent, and use it more effectively, win over customers more readily, enjoy more elevated market capitalizations, while operating more ethically and delivering on resilience, social, and environmental goals.

The workshop reveals both the “why” and the “how” of reimagined management. It shows the ways in which the principles and processes of customer capitalism differ from industrial-era management in almost every important respect, including goal, structure, dynamic, leadership, strategy, innovation, operations, marketing, sales, ESG, budget, HR, risk management, and key performance indicators.

Unique features of the workshop include

• Precise definitions of the principles and processes of digital-age management as compared to industrial-era management;
• The use of a diagnostic tool that enables the measurement of the current status of, and progress towards, implementing the principles and processes of customer capitalism at the level of a firm, a unit, a team or an individual;
• The resulting capability to make comparisons between different parts of a firm, and at different points in time; and:
• The use of real-life case studies; including Amazon, Apple, GE, GEA, Haier, IBM, JP Morgan, Michelin, Microsoft, Novartis, Siemens, SRI International, and Tesla.

In the workshop, participants will get hands-on experience in implementing the principles and processes.

Who should attend?
The keynote and workshop will benefit senior and mid-level executives, entrepreneurs of all ages, and agile leaders—especially those in leadership functions undergoing dramatic technological change.

Benefits
In this keynote and accompanying workshop, you will

• Understand why the management practices and assumptions that were successful in the industrial-era are increasingly obsolete.
• Learn the management principles and practices of the most successful and fastest growing firms on the planet.
• Gain access to the research that underlies the emerging discipline of management as it is re-imagined management for the digital age.
• Explore the use artificial intelligence tools to accelerate innovation.
• Discover how to inspire others to reinvent the way they think about getting things done in the world.
• Build relationships among a diverse group of peers.

You’ve mastered Agile delivery, maybe even some product discovery techniques for validating your assumptions and testing hypotheses. But how do you know which product problems or opportunities are the most important to prioritise? You might have a vision for the product, but what is your strategy for getting there? You might argue that you have a product roadmap, but there is an important layer between your company goals and your product roadmap that should inform your decision making process – a Product Strategy.

Product strategy is the glue that helps you decide which problems to focus on, the bridge that connects the product roadmap to the company’s strategy or goals.

Come experience the creation of a product strategy. In this highly interactive workshop, you’ll not only learn the basics of product strategy, but we’ll practise the step by step process to create one, based on either an idea you have or your own company’s product.

Who’s this for?
Product Leaders, Product Owners, Product Strategists, Product Managers, Product Marketers, UX or research specialists, Project Managers, Business Analysts, Business subject-matter experts in product teams, or anyone aspiring to these roles.
