2020 will forever be known as the year of COVID-19 and how everything over a few short months changed. For many organizations their ability to respond to this crisis will define their future. COVID-19 is a very painful reminder that organizations and people need to be agile.

In this talk Dave West, CEO of Scrum.org describes the long-term impact COVID-19 in the context of agility and how work may change. The talk is based on how some companies have built organizational and career models to support agility.

In the midst of historic levels of burnout, employers are leaning on new ways to engage, retain and motivate their people. But the keys to unlocking greater productivity and dampening the risk of employee burnout are clear.

Join Director of Client Culture and Engagement Alex Powell as she uncovers how leaders can be more strategic and intentional in building wellbeing, recognition and community initiatives into their day-to-day to tackle employee burnout. In this workshop, you’ll learn:

• How the shifting landscape of employee needs has catapulted wellbeing, recognition and community to the top of “must-haves” in your business

• New ways to create a sense of community in your workplace, no matter where your employees are located, to drive greater connections on a daily basis

Scrum has some history in redefining how people work. Its success over the last 25 years has led to Scrum Master and Product Owner being job titles on recruitment websites or LinkedIn career profiles. Sprints, Daily’s and Retrospectives are now part of the normal ‘what did you do at work today’ conversations. But most organizations and career paths are still based on an industrial, pre-agile outlook with promotion and value connected to managing people and scarcity of knowledge. Bonuses are paid to individuals and reviews are determined by ‘work’ managers. What will the future look like? Does this crisis drive a fundamental change to how people work and what they work upon?
