Innovation has had two decades of software-centric methodologies. Project success rates are not great. The employee experience is not great. What makes innovation difficult is not software, so this should be no surprise. What makes innovation difficult are people – how we interact, collaborate, and compete with each other. Therefore, a people-centric methodology is not revolutionary. It’s just overdue.
This session explains how small changes to three well-known references is the recipe for a people-centric methodology. These changes raise a team’s discipline and empathy, simplify messy project plans, and convert your organization’s communication traffic jams into a symphony.
