“The central hypothesis of the Leadership Model is that leadership is shaped through an interplay between the characteristics of the leader and the external social and cultural context. The Model consists of three main components: leader characteristics, contextual characteristics and leadership styles. The complex interplay between these components is described in detail and illustrated using a large number of examples. The Model also serves as the basis for three of the most widespread leadership programs in Sweden based on academic research: Developmental Leadership (UL), Understanding Group and Leader (UGL) and Indirect Leadership (IL).”

Gratis meetup: STRATEGI I FORANDRING ved Iben Stjerne og Morten Elvang

Tilmeld!

Strategi og strategiimplementering er i rivende udvikling. Traditionelt betragtes strategiformulering som en topstyret årlig begivenhed. Med oplevelsen af at forandringer sker hyppigere, herunder bl.a. digitalisering og krav til ESG/DEI, følger også et behov for hastigere omstillinger, hvilket sætter pres på virksomhedernes strategiprocesser.Strategien skal i langt højere grad være afstemt, således at man med et fælles udgangspunkt kan tilpasse retningen. Dette giver mulighed for at koordinere på tværs og bedre favne mere kompleksitet og usikkerhed.Dette øger kravene til strategien, specielt ifht at håndtere overraskelser. Balancen rykker sig fra at være topstyret mod en mere åben, inkluderende og transparent proces. Ambitionen er med strategien som omdrejningspunkt at gøre organisationens tilpasningsdygtig og resultatorienteret så overlevelseskraften bevares bedst muligt
Kom med og få en pejling af hvor du er i forhold til de skift, der sker og hvordan du kan tilpasse din strategi praksis.Du får mulighed for at drøfte med ligesindede og inspiration fra Iben og Morten i forhold til de trends, der rør sig.
Interaktivt og involverende foredrag
Foredraget er rettet mod dig, som arbejder konkret med strategi og strategiimplementering.

Hvad oplever du har ændret sig hos og for jer?
Hvad er konsekvensen af den udvikling vi ser?
Hvad betyder det for strategi og strategi implementering?
Hvordan tilpasses strategiarbejdet i praksis til den nye virkelighed?

Afsluttende:

Kan du genkende nogle af signalerne?
Hvad betyder det for dig?

Undervejs fortæller Iben og Morten om deres forskning, erfaringer og de bøger de har skrevet.Du før nogle praktiske værktøjer med hjem og kan se mere om Ibens og Mortens arbejde påwww.openstrategy.works.
Materialet er på engelsk.

User Story Mapping
Få inspiration til hvordan I effektivt nedbryder, prioriterer, afklarer og klargør opgaverne til jeres teams.

Tilmeld!

Arbejder du med user stories? Så har du sikkert også oplevet, at helheden kan drukne i detaljerne, og at forståelsen mellem forretningen og udviklerne halter.

Jeff Patton er pioner indenfor teknikken “User Story Mapping”, som han har beskrevet i bogen af samme navn. Det er en enkel og supereffektiv teknik til at skabe overblik og sikre, at alle involverede har samme forståelse, og sammen er i stand til at planlægge og prioritere.
Lær på få timer nok til at anvende denne teknik til at skabe overblik over et projekt, en feature eller en release. Du kan med fordel anvende det i forbindelse med behovsafklaring, planlægning og som middel til at facilitere en mere meningsfuld dialog mellem alle deltagerne i et agilt projekt.
Jesper Thaning giver en hands-on introduktion til user story mapping, så du selv kan tage teknikken i brug efter café-mødet.
Dette café-møde vil blive afholdt på dansk
