Shared Leadership - leaders are everywhere, how research on agile teams meets practice

Leadership has been considered from every angle (almost) and the efforts are not slowing down. New ideas, books and trends, fads are popping out frequently. Leadership in Agile is a fundament, looking from attitude and role to practice at every level of the organization. It is time to embrace shared leadership, as it is an emergent team phenomenon whereby leadership roles and influence are distributed among team members. This approach has surprising support in studies about team performance, well-established history, and even anecdotal evidence from practitioners.
Everyone can be a leader. Can this be all so simple?
In the talk, the author will share his hard (and less painful) multi-year experience, in creating an environment and implementing advice, with some positive examples. The talk will be finished with hope and surprise for the audience.

Learning Agility & Resilience Through Games

Agility can be daunting and even boring in theory. Resilience sounds like a piece of good advice but hard to follow. When we come into practice we struggle with many fancy names and techniques. Have you ever thought about demonstrating something by involving people in exercise instead of monotonously showing the slides and discussing nuances of frameworks or even mindset? If at least partially you have answered “yes”, join me in the session.
There is a saying by Benjamin Franklin “Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn”.
Having this in mind, we will use some selected and curated games to demonstrate elements of agility, resilience, values, practices, etc.
Last but not least - having some fun and joy in learning is assumed.

Change by Desing - how to prototype a change by collaboration

We all face challenges at work, and in life, sometimes small, sometimes overwhelmingly big. How to tackle them? Well... there is no silver bullet. However, you can try co-working on prototyping potential solutions with others, applying a deep understanding of the human needs behind the challenge in an iterative way. Interesting? This workshop uses the surprising power of Design Thinking through co-creating prototypes for solving even the most wicked challenges.

Anti-Agile Tetris - How To Make Systemic Change

Full description
At organizations, we are sometimes too busy to think or we feel helpless. Changes in larger multi-team setups seem to be slow and we are observing that not bringing much value yet we believe the next attempt will be different. It doesn’t have to be dismal as described here. Organizations can be perceived as systems. Sometimes despite our efforts system pushes back our attempts or bounces back after a while to the status quo. In this highly interactive workshop, we are going to address the systemic changes. Collaboratively, we can experience improvements that will change the system.
Warning! The game is designed to simulate a specific artificial environment any similarity to actual persons, projects, products, living or dead, is purely coincidental

Takeaways:
* Experience the highly engaging simulation of the delivery process
* Get a systemic perspective on the change
