Teamwork – Are we really a team? The question to ask!
Immediately afterwards, Chris Li asked himself the question of whether the right questions are really being asked when putting together a team and working in a team. After all, the recognition of dysfunctions is more difficult than is usually assumed.
In addition, Chris believes that responsibility or the joint assumption of responsibility is actually the decisive factor in teamwork. If this is not taken over by everyone, a team cannot have lasting success.
Everyone in the team also has the right to share their opinions and concerns. Only if everyone is listened to can teamwork be successful. Constructive discussion is therefore for Chris the basis of a healthy team- and therefore also company culture.
Generation Agile: Agile in Education
One topic that has gained immense importance, especially due to the virtual school experience of billions of children, was Agile Education or the lecture on agile forms of learning in schools by John Miller.
Using some vivid examples, John showed how his agile educators in schools ensure that student participation is increased and how schools manage to unite children through agile foundations, processes and principles and show them strengths they did not know they had before.
The real-life stories from various schools not only brought a smile to the audience’s faces, but above all showed how open and native the students of all ages actually are with agile methods and know how to use them.
Practices for Professional and Cultural Agility
The result of 30 years of corporate anthropology brought Marsha Shenk to the table. From her kitchen, she explained where the benefits of agile practices in the corporate world lie. She explained why companies have many advantages when they use the agile framework and how this in turn offers further opportunities in equality.
From her point of view, trade hasn’t changed that much over the past millions of years and even the desired results have remained the same: minimize risk, increase opportunities, improve execution.
What is important today is that executives understand that all the new buzzwords and trends are actually just skills, goals and experiences that have been successful for millions of years. You just have to give it a chance to grow and prosper.
