Agile People: How To Inspire And Motivate For Success
Intrinsic motivation becomes crucial when you cannot motivate by external rewards and when people choose development instead of a promotion. In this presentation, Pia-Maria will explain why we do what we do and how to link our basic psychological needs to the needs of the organization, all in the strive to support people to move in a certain direction because they want to, not because they have to.
Pia-Maria talks about the basic needs and values that all people have (just to a different degree) and that make us the unique people that we are. A deep understanding for human needs is crucial to have for leaders, who need to treat people differently to get the most out of the workforce when tapping into motivation that leads to performance. In a great organization we all contribute with our best selves, doing what we do best every day. The leader is seen as a gardener who has deep people skills and understand what makes each person grow and develop.

Organizational Resiliency through a Living Systems Lens
2020 made it clear that Organizations need more resiliency. Organizations have embraced self-care for individuals, but a collection of resilient individuals does not add up to a resilient organization. We have a small window of opportunity to dramatically advance Organizational Resiliency. The window is quickly closing, will we make it?
This talk will examine where the opportunities are for Organizational Resiliency, and how simple actions can make a big impact.

Applying After Action Agility to our VUCA World
How to apply an After Action Agility process to a VUCA disruption as a catalyst for developing leadership and organizational agility to address future VUCA disruptions. This talk is an overview of how the After Action Agility process applies to both Leadership and Organizational Agility, and how this process has recently been applied with clients in three different industry sectors (Energy, Logistics and Public Education).
Nick is also bringing a guest, Dr. Santana, who will share her story of a specific client’s application of the After Action Agility process to gain better insights into how the organization could have applied better agility when dealing with a recent disruption. In addition, she will describe how each member of the leadership team gained greater insights into his/her strengths in applying leadership agility to this disruption. https://www.linkedin.com/in/laura-santana-phd/

Stories of Change
The agile epidemic has caused a surge in huge transformation programs across many industries and enterprises. Yet often, these huge efforts do not provide value comparable to the energy invested into them. The alternative that I am going to show you, inspired by the work of Dave Snowden and Cognitive Edge, is based on using stories we tell each other and how through leveraging them, we can start changing our organizations not through huge leaps into illusionary futures but through small steps into better tomorrows.
