While the debate rages on about job displacement versus job creation, the true impact of AI might lie elsewhere.

It’s time to look beyond the surface. The essence of a complex system lies not in its components but in the dynamic relationships between them. How will AI reshape our collaboration? Traditionally, humans instructed computers, but now we witness machines setting objectives for people. Prepare yourselves for a future revolution in our work methods.

SPEECH: Leveraging Emotional Intelligence to Navigate Organizational Transformation: Your secret sauce to survive change

WORKSHOP: Master Class: Emotional Intelligence Tools and Techniques to Navigate Organizational Transformation

ABOUT Speech: This keynote presentation will highlight the critical importance of being present and aware as an Organizational Transformation is underway. Understanding one’s own emotions and responses to the changes around is the first step. Once this becomes a habit, the purposeful and intentional management of those emotions is the second step.  These two steps collectively enable self-mastery.  The journey continues with a focus on others.  It is here that honest perspectives and tough realizations must occur.  A focus on others, while exemplifying self-mastery is where leveraging Emotional Intelligence (EI) adds value.  At this point, continuing to enhance EI skills and techniques will empower leadership. 

The presentation will provide a clear understanding of Organizational Transformation and the responses it evokes.  It will highlight the key components and techniques of EI and provide approaches to navigate Organizational Transformation with ease. It is your choice to simply survive the Organizational Transformation or thrive through it. Please join us for this journey.  

____________________

ABOUT Workshop: Building on the keynote presentation: Leveraging Emotional Intelligence to Navigate Organizational Transformation: Your secret sauce to survive change, this 2-hour master class will introduce specific tools and techniques to enhance and improve personal EI and EI with others. Participants will have the opportunity to assess their own EI status, apply tools/techniques to improve their skill, and create plans of actions for continuous improvement. Some examples of the changes that organizational transformation can bring will be used to assess EIQ. Each step of the journey will be defined, examples given and techniques to enhance and improve the mastery of that step when faced with changes. Please join us to continue your EI mastery.

ABOUT Speech: To będzie interaktywna prelekcja o roli sprzeciwu w pracy zespołowej, o sposobach podejmowania decyzji, które preferujemy.

Jak zapraszamy różnorodne punkty widzenia do pracy projektowej? Podczas prelekcji chcę pokazać, jak integrować sprzeciw w zespole, dosłownie doświadczyć tego procesu w grupie będącej na sali.

Niegotowi na zmianę - Jak wyprowadzić pilną transformację na prostą?

ABOUT Speech: Często nie mamy komfortu “podręcznikowego” wprowadzania zmian lub prowadzenia transformacji. Nagłe zmiany regulacyjne, rynkowe lub inne wydarzenia w samej organizacji lub jej otoczeniu mogą wymusić zmianę tu i teraz. Bez szans na dokładne planowanie, przygotowanie interesariuszy czy nawet przemyślaną kampanię informacyjną. Czy to oznacza, że musimy pogodzić się z chaosem i wiecznymi kryzysami w nowej rzeczywistości? Niekoniecznie! To wystąpienie jest podsumowaniem doświadczeń z gwałtownych zmian w dużych organizacjach, w których kontrolowany proces zaczął się dopiero, gdy skutki były już widoczne. Opowiem o tym jak przywracaliśmy kontrolę nad zmianą, dbając o bieżącą sprawność działania organizacji i zabezpieczenie trwałych efektów. Pokażę również, o jakie elementy należy zadbać, aby organizacja ustabilizowała się możliwie jak najszybciej, a emocje opadły.

Wystąpienie będzie oparte w 100% na doświadczeniach praktycznych z kilku rzeczywistych organizacji. Wszystkie omawiane zmiany w istotny sposób naruszały model biznesowy i sposób funkcjonowania tych firm. Ze względu na ochronę tajemnicy, nazwy firm nie będą ujawnione. Prezentacja będzie uporządkowana w sposób pozwalający łatwo określić kluczowe obszary działania, priorytety i stosowane techniki oraz ich rezultaty.

Transforming Organizations: The Psychology of Successful Organizational Change.

ABOUT Speech: Introducing changes in organizations is a challenge that requires not only technical skills but also a deep understanding of human emotions, reactions, and needs associated with change.

Why? Because organizational transformation, to be effective, must occur at the individual level. Without effective change at the employee level, it is impossible to ensure the delivery of expected business value.

Additionally, each of us is different: we have different experiences, personalities, and strategies for coping with stress. Therefore, a key aspect of successful transformation is understanding and addressing individual reactions and needs of employees when planning the implementation of changes.

Project managers play an extremely important role in this process. However, to be able to effectively plan and execute a change project comprehensively, they need knowledge at the intersection of psychology and management.

In this seminar, I will discuss what project managers should know and what they should take care of when planning and implementing transformation projects to provide adequate support to those affected by the change. I will also present practical examples of how to do this.

Zespoły i interakcje zorientowane na “flow” wartości i informacji z Team Topologies

ABOUT Workshop: Zarówno w podejściu projektowym czy produktowym dużo mówi się o zespołach. Chcemy by były niezależne i tzw. wielokompetencyjne. Rzeczywistość pokazuje zwykle bardziej złożony obraz organizacji. Dostrzegamy, że na drodze przepływu wartości i informacji stoją niejasne zakresy działania zespołów, ale też typy ich interakcji. Team Topologies to stosunkowo nowe podejście, które wprowadza klarowność tego z jakimi zespołami mamy do czynienia, ale też daje konkretne narzędzia dotyczące kształtowania ich interakcji oraz daje liderom organizacji sposób określania ewolucji zespołów w stronę organizacji skupionej na flow. 

Poznaj w praktyce główne koncepcje Team Topologies, typy zespołów i interakcji, które mogą pomóc w usprawnieniu przepływu wartości i informacji między zespołami. 

TL;DR: Zyskaj nowe spojrzenie na zespoły i ich interakcje oraz naucz się jak prowadzić ewolucję organizacji skupioną na flow wartości i informacji.

Engagement post reorganization through Behaviour change

ABOUT Workshop: We all know that post-reorganization can be tough—disengagement is at an all-time high, moods are tricky, and behaviors?

I’ll share a real-life case where a client went from ‘meh’ to ‘motivated’ using these methods. Let’s get ready to shake things up and transform those tough times into a comeback story!

Transformacyjna komunikacja: jak w praktyce oszczędzać czas i pieniądze,
a dowozić scope w projektach

ABOUT Workshop: Process Communication Model (PCM) to transformacyjny framework, który wspiera ogromną zmianę w sposobie komunikacji i leadershipu, szczególnie w obszarach zarządzania projektami oraz change managementu. W czasach niezwykle wysokiej złożoności powinniśmy częściej upraszczać to, co tylko możliwe – raczej oszczędzając czas, a nie go marnując na niepotrzebne nieporozumienia i konflikty.

Panel Dyskusyjny: Transformacja sektora publicznego w Polsce z różnych perspektyw

ABOUT Discussion Panel: Czy sektor publiczny może być nowoczesny, transparentny i co ważne responsywny? Administracja publiczna, jak każdy inny sektor mierzy się z presją i wyzwaniami związanymi z transformacją cyfrową. W kontekście globalnych trendów związanych z automatyzacją procesów, bezpieczeństwa danych oraz dostępnością usług publicznych, sektor publiczny w Polsce mierzy się z wyzwaniami prawnymi, finansowymi, zarówno na poziomie centralnym, jak i regionalnym. Podczas naszej dyskusji panelowej spojrzymy z różnych perspektyw, jak wdrażanie nowoczesnych technologii wpływa na funkcjonowanie urzędów i innych instytucji publicznych, ich pracowników oraz klientów. Z pomocą zaproszonych ekspertów zgłębimy kluczowe aspekty cyfrowej transformacji, a także korzyści, jakie płyną z digitalizacji sektora publicznego – zarówno dla obywateli, jak i dla samych urzędów. Podczas panelu dowiemy się, które technologie wspierają rozwój e-państwa, e- administracji i e-usług. Przeanalizujemy wyzwania, przed którymi stoi sektor publiczny i omówimy strategie ich przezwyciężania. Prezentacja udanych przykładów cyfrowej transformacji w sektorze publicznym dostarczy praktycznych wskazówek i inspiracji. Nie zabraknie także dyskusji na temat roli sztucznej inteligencji w administracji publicznej. Zapraszamy do udziału w dyskusji.

Panel Dyskusyjny razem z: Maliną Jankowską i Radosławem Maćkiewiczem, moderowany przez Joannę Rudawską.

Cost-Effective Sustainability: Balancing Budget and Environmental Impact in Projects

ABOUT Speech: In today’s competitive business landscape, maximizing profits often means making difficult choices.

Drawing on personal experiences from the manufacturing industry, I will demonstrate how sustainable choices not only protect our planet but also contribute to long-term profitability by improving efficiency, reducing waste, and creating value for customers. Attendees will leave with practical strategies for integrating sustainability into their projects without sacrificing financial success. Let’s redefine what it means to be cost-effective—because sustainable profits start with sustainable resources.

Project Manager jako sparingpartner dla Sponsora – 5 pomysłów na trudne czasy.

ABOUT Workshop: W obecnym czasie silniejszy niż kiedykolwiek wpływ na pracę projektową mają wyzwania związane z kulturą organizacyjną, zaangażowaniem pracowników oraz ich elastycznością. Efektywne, możliwe mało inwazyjne i konstruktywne wdrażanie zmian, do których pracownicy podchodzą z otwartością i ciekawością może pomóc zbudować organizację bardziej odporną na zewnętrzne wstrząsy, lepiej przygotowaną do szybkiego działania i skuteczniej wdrażającą projekty. W tym kontekście szczególne znaczenie ma dla Project Managera budowanie wiarygodności w oczach Sponsora, aby być dla niego pożądanym sparingpartnerem w trudnych zagadnieniach projektowych. Zajęcie się 5 kluczowymi obszarami, które będą omawiane podczas warsztatu może pomóc PMowi w zbudowaniu i utrzymaniu ze Sponsorem takiej relacji.

Uzasadnienie biznesowe do wdrożenia i rozwoju PMO

ABOUT Workshop: 

W wielu organizacjach ciężko przekonać Zarząd i Dyrekcję do wdrożenia PMO. W organizacjach, gdzie taka jednostka już istnieje, nie otrzymuje ona dodatkowych środków na rozwój. Głównym powodem takiego stanu rzeczy jest brak umiejętności pokazania wartości z funkcjonowania lub rozwoju PMO. Celem prelekcji będzie pokazanie przykładów wdrożenia i rozwoju PMO oraz sposobów w jaki jednostka biuro zarządzania projektami może pokazać wartość i wyliczyć uzasadnienie biznesowe do swojego istnienia lub rozwoju.

Po wystąpieniu uczestnicy warsztatu będą wiedzieć:

  • Jak ocenić dojrzałość PMO i na tej podstawie ocenić kierunki rozwoju PMO i organizacji?
  • Jak zbudować plan wdrożenia lub rozwoju PMO?
  • Jak dobrać usługi świadczone przez PMO?
  • Poznają Państwo przykład jak to zrobili skutecznie inni

Elementem warsztatu będzie również możliwość przeprowadzenie oceny własnego PMO.

Serdecznie zapraszam wszystkie osoby zainteresowane rozwojem organizacji w zakresie zarządzania projektami, programami i portfelem projektów.
