15:45 - 16:30Daniel Mezick: Authority and Authorization in the New World of WorkIt’s time to think about think about enterprise change in a whole new way. The role we think of as “manager” is actually a role that is authorized to define and manage a set of decisions. What we call “self organization” or “self management” is actually the process of deciding how to decide and then deciding… about how to do the work. The role we call “leader” or “leadership” is, in large part, mostly about making the key decisions…the key decisions that affect the entire group. Anyone who participates in decisions that affect others is in fact exercising leadership and must first be fully authorized to do so. This is at the absolute core what is involved in any successful enterprise-level change, any successful “Agile transformation” and any success with business agility. Real transformation involves big changes in who has decision rights, and who does not. In this session, we will explore the topic of “authorized decision rights”, and the far-reaching impact that any changes to these rights has upon overall company culture. In detail, we will explore the link between making decisions, employee engagement, and successful enterprise-level change. Upon conclusion of this session, you will receive a set of valuable resources and tools to help you immediately implement some of these ideas, in your own work, in your own organization.

16:30 - 17:15Michael Sahota: Beyond Self-Organization - How To Energize People and TeamsThe Agile Manifesto says “Build projects around motivated individuals.” What? Motivated people are a prerequisite for Agile and Scrum! Without motivated, energized people, self-organization is a recipe for disaster. Scrum makes the level of function of a team very visible so it can be improved. Many of us face situations where teams are not 100% passionate and motivated. In this hands-on workshop, you will learn how employee disengagement is a common challenge. We outline practical steps to diagnose and create experiments to foster a higher performance work environment. Of course, part of the path to success is understanding some of the key traps that kill motivation. Key topics include Theory X-Theory Y, Gallup Engagement, and Evolution of High Performance Model. Get ready to unlock your teams!

17:15 - 18:00Ynzo van Zanten: ‘Het verhaal van een ongewone chocoladereep’Tony’s Chocolonely is geen doorsnee chocoladebedrijf, maar een chocoladebedrijf met een grootse missie: een einde maken aan moderne slavernij en uitbuiting in de cacao-industrie. Met waanzinnig lekkere chocolade geven ze het voorbeeld en laten ze zien dat chocolade maken anders kan: in smaak, verpakking en de manier waarop ze met de cacaoboeren omgaan: door langetermijnrelaties en een eerlijke, transparante keten. Ynzo van Zanten, Tony’s “Choco Evangelist”, komt meer vertellen over Tony’s routekaart naar 100% slaafvrije chocolade en hoe iedereen daar aan bij kan dragen. En eh.. wie weet verlaat jij de zaal met een heerlijke Tony’s reep voor thuis.
