Ai Ai Ai, What Happens to Our Way of Working?
ABOUT Speech: In a world captivated by artificial intelligence (AI), where ChatGPT, deep learning, and Large Language Models dominate the headlines, a remarkable transformation is underway. 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.
What might change in how people work together? Join us as we delve into the fascinating realm of AI’s influence on our Ways of Working and learn how the unFIX model pattern library may help you survive and thrive by dynamically building your own methods.

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

Czy „zgoda buduje, a niezgoda rujnuje”, czyli po co nam sprzeciw w zespole?
ABOUT Speech: To będzie interaktywna prelekcja o roli sprzeciwu w pracy zespołowej, o sposobach podejmowania decyzji, które preferujemy. Kultura socjalizuje nas do unikania konfrontacji, czy sprzeciwu, w obawie przed utratą celu projektu. Przyjrzymy się swoim osobistym preferencjom/stylom pracy lidera/ki w zespole. 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 Speech: 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.
