This webcast is ideal for leaders, managers, and supervisors who are looking for easy-to-implement tools and strategies to help them and their teams plan and operate in a more agile way, so they can test out new ideas more often while also reducing the fear and risk of failure that arises during times of chaos.

Our expert speaker will navigate you through the following four-step “wayfinding” process, which provides you direction but also encourages you to make adjustments and course correct along the way. Dr. Davis will illustrate how this process can apply to different projects and initiatives on your campus and you will have the opportunity to apply the process to your own project or initiative, so you walk away with an action plan for how to get started in “failing fast and failing forward.”

Step 1: Orientation – Where are you starting and where do you want to end up? Learn how to set the right objectives for your agile project from the start.

Step 2: Route Decision – If you can’t plan everything in detail, what’s the right general path to take? Learn how to set priorities, design short sprints and determine the minimal viable product you can achieve during your sprint.

Step 3: Route Monitoring – How do you know if you’re on the right track? Learn how to study and improve upon your initial plans through metric agility, after-action reviews, and feedback loops.

Step 4: Destination Recognition – How do you know when you’ve reached your destination or desired outcome? Learn how to recognize when you’ve met your objectives or how to course correct if needed.
