SUMMARY:World Agility Forum Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Everyone knows that agile ways of working depend on effective teamwork. What is less obvious is how effective teamwork fits into the capability creation process. In this talk\, we will explore the four elements that signal that a team is working effectively\, debunk pervasive myths (for instance that satisfaction on a team is highly correlated with performance) and demonstrate a diagnostic that you can use to assess the deftness with which your own teams perform.

SUMMARY:Friday Fireside Chat with Richard Rumelt (BEING RESCHEDULED)
DESCRIPTION:Dick Rumelt has often been described as a strategists’ strategist\, someone who can reduce the most complex problems to their essence and use strategic choices to make the most significant difference in the outcome. He has a new book out\, “The Crux” in which he debunks a lot of the activity that unfortunately takes the place of strategy in so many organizations. A better alternative\, he suggests is to find the point of greatest leverage – the crux – and solve that problem. I’m looking forward to our conversation.

SUMMARY:Friday Fireside Chat with Eric Johnson
DESCRIPTION:In 2018\, Goldman Sachs reported that Google paid Apple $9 billion to be the default search engine on the iPhone; by 2022 that number is reportedly $20 billion. Why is a position that a user could easily change with just a few clicks so valuable? The answer\, according to my Friday Fireside Chat guest\, Eric J. Johnson\, has to do with choice architecture. How choices are presented to us affect our decisions in deeply profound ways. This is explored in his terrific new book “The Elements of Choice: Why the Way We Decide Matters.” We’ll be talking about his idea of sludge – when a decision situation makes what is in the best interest of the chooser difficult – and dark patterns\, when users are tricked into taking an action they didn’t intend to. Join us for what I know will be an eye-opening session.

SUMMARY:Friday Fireside Chat with Rita Kakati-Shah
DESCRIPTION:Rita Kakati-Shah\, an award-winning gender inclusion strategist\, is the author of “The Goddess of Go-Getting\,” a fun guide to making your way in the world when you are not in the majority group. Rita’s spin on diversity\, equity and inclusion is that most people get it wrong and\, as a result\, the outcomes are causing people to segregate rather than unify. Rita attended Sandhurst\, the British equivalent of West Point\, where she attained the rank of sergeant major. She then became one of the first women on Goldman Sachs’ trading floor in London and spearheaded business development in the CNS drug development industry before starting her own company.

SUMMARY:Friday Fireside Chat with Richard Rumelt
DESCRIPTION:Richard Rumelt has been described by no less than McKinsey as a “giant in the field of strategy.” He’s also a dear friend and an enormously influential thought leader. We’re going to chat about his latest book\, “The Crux” in which he illustrates the principles of challenge-based strategy.

SUMMARY:Friday Fireside Chat with Rob Cross and Karen Dillon
DESCRIPTION:We all know about the big things that cause us to feel burned out. Toxic bosses. Obnoxious colleagues. Too much work. Impossible deadlines. The list goes on. But\, did you know that sometimes your feeling of burnout isn’t the result of one big thing – its the accumulation of tons of little things – Microstressors – that invisibly drain your capacity\, deplete your emotions and challenge your identity. In this chat\, Babson Professor Rob Cross and well known Harvard Business Review author Karen Dillon will discuss their research into this important phenomenon and more importantly\, what you can do about it.

SUMMARY:Friday Fireside Chat with Zeynep Ton
DESCRIPTION:Do you see employees as units of cost? Do you think that offering “market based” pay\, few opportunities for advancement and obsolete tools is a solid path to business success? Then please join me and MIT professor Zeynep Ton for a session that could prove life-changing. Zeynep’s research shows that well paid workers\, trained\, with a path to advancement and supported by the right processes\, can boost the top line in surprising ways. Her new book “The Case for Good Jobs” lays it all out. I am a huge fan and am thrilled she’ll be joining me in conversation on June 23. Join us live or tune in for the recording afterward. There will be gems there for everyone to learn from.

SUMMARY:Friday Fireside Chat with April Dunford (BEING RESCHEDULED)
DESCRIPTION:You have doubtless at some point been asked to fill in a “Mad Libs” style positioning statement. Product ___ offers ___ benefits to ___ target customer\, allowing them to ____. Typical. My guest this week\, April Dunford\, thoroughly debunked this nonsensical approach to positioning in her previous book “Obviously awesome” which is an amazing guide to getting positioning right. She has a new book coming on creating great sales pitches that I think will be just as illuminating – and useful! Join us for a conversation I am really excited about.

SUMMARY:Friday Fireside Chat with Sheena Iyengar
DESCRIPTION:Aside from being one of my dearest colleagues at Columbia\, and someone I love to casually say I last saw at Davos\, Sheena Iyengar is one of the worlds’ foremost authorities on choice and choosing.

DESCRIPTION:Forensic accounting and filmmaking? How does that go together? Well\, join Kelly Richmond-Pope\, a Professor at DePaul University in Chicago as we delve in what she’s learned from years of studying fraudsters\, scammers and backroom operators of all kinds. Her new book is “Fool Me Once” and it uncovers what makes perps tick\, why victims are so gullible\, and why whistleblowers are so morally righteous.
