Skill Building Workshops – 2 Hours Each
Thursday, January 14th, 2021 – 10:00 to 12:00 Eastern Time
Workshop 1 Agile Meets Design Thinking
Matt Donovan, GP Strategies
- As internal management consultants, a question often asked is how do you work out which frameworks, organizational models and activities will get you from the products and services of today for those of tomorrow? Scrum, sprints or retrospectives (part of the Agile methodology) or empathy, ideate, prototype (part of the Design Thinking methodology) – what is the right approach to use? Unbeknownst to many, Design Thinking and Agile complement each other and can blend for a creative, empathetic and implementable approach to solving the problems of our customers. This session will provide you with a comprehensive background, methodologies, and facilitation techniques pulling from the best of Agile and Design Thinking approaches.
Tuesday, January 19th, 2021 – 10:00 to 12:00 Eastern Time
Workshop 2 Internal Consulting Leadership Workshop
John Porcari (3rd River Partners) and Andre Darger (Anthem)
Segment 1: Shifting from Unhealthy Drama to Empowered Ways of Working
- Internal Consultants are agents of change. The challenge of change is that it breaks the “organizing structures” (processes, relationships, systems, routines, etc.) of how people make sense of their work each day. When organizing structures are broken, it is common for unhealthy “Drama” to bubble-up and put results at risk. In this provocative and practical working session, we will explore the unhealthy Drama roles of “Victims”, “Persecutors” and “Rescuers”, and then learn and practice how to coach self and others into the Empowered roles of “Co-creators”, “Challengers” and “Coaches” to drive high levels of ownership and success in implementing what matters most to the organization.
Segment 2: IC Leadership Competencies
- This segment provides a framework for developing internal consulting competencies at a leadership level, along with supporting methodologies. It will also provide an overview of our new IC Leadership Certification Program to be introduced in the Spring of 2021,
