Äntligen är det dags för Agila Örebros höstevent 2022! I år lyssnar vi på Maria Åkerlund, VD för GDQ Associates.

Integrative Model of Group Development (IMGD) är en modell, framtagen av Susan Wheelan efter många års studier och forskning kring vad det är som gör en del grupper mer framgångsrika än andra. Modellen är ett kraftfullt verktyg för att utveckla arbetsgrupper till högpresterande team. GDQ är ett instrument för att mäta var i utvecklingen en grupp befinner sig och hjälper team och ledare att föra grupper framåt och skapa högpresterande team.

Maria kommer att prata om vad ett team är samt förutsättningar för och steg i teams utveckling. Förändringar i organisationer och arbetsliv som pågår diskuteras, och hur de påverkar teamarbete. Vi får också höra om resultat från den senaste forskningen om viktiga teamprocesser som sammanhållning, ytliga och djupa olikheter, samt psykologisk trygghet. Slutligen kommer Maria att tala om metoder för utveckling av team som har stöd i forskningen och inte minst kopplingen mellan teamutveckling och agilitet.

Maria har arbetat som konsult inom arbetspsykologi i 25 år och är en av grundarna och ägarna av Henrysson Åkerlund AB där hon arbetar idag med ledarutveckling, teamutveckling, handledning och utbildningar. År 2005 introducerade Maria the Group Development Questionnaire (GDQ) i Sverige och medverkade till översättning och anpassning till svenska av GDQ. Hon är certifierad GDQ-utbildare och har hållit ett 50-tal certifierings-kurser. Sedan 2015 är Maria också delägare i och vd för GDQ Associates AB som äger GDQ. År 2019 kom boken Teamutveckling i teori och praktik ut som Maria skrivit tillsammans med Christian Jacobsson.

Så fantastiskt det var att få träffa alla er igen! Se video från årets konferens nedan.

Redefining Leadership

Shift from a Culture of Permission and Waiting, to Intent and Action

Our old ideas of good leadership is where the leader knows all, tells all and is always in control. In fact, it’s difficult for us to change because those old habits are so hardwired in our brains! Intent-Based Leadership™ offers a way for us to rewire: to give control, trust and learn to be okay with not having all the answers. It's a way of leading where the leader sets the environment for others to excel and act to the maximum extent of their creativity and intellect; where team members come to the leader describing what they see, what they think, and what they intend to do. The result: the culture of the organization shifts from one of permission and waiting, to intent and action, and people feel more valued and come to better solutions.

Jenni will share the principles of Intent-Based Leadership™ – what it takes to give control and achieve excellence in your organization. This way of leading is the key to successful Agile implementations in companies of all sizes.

Successful Digitalisation Through Agile Contracting

Most things today are impacted by software, one way of the other. But let’s face it, IT is tricky and it’s easy to get derailed. If we want to succeed with digitalisation, then we need to do it better than any IT project we have done before. We have to start at the procurement stage. And write contracts with clear Effect goals. But how do we do that? In this talk we will walk through the building blocks of Agile contracting and why this is a key to our country’s competitiveness. We will also share case examples, of where it’s being applied and the learnings so far.

Mattias Skarin: Sun Tzu once said that the ultimate responsibility of generalship is to maneuver into a position of success. My quest is to figure out how best to do just that in complex fast-moving environments.

How do we use Agile to evolve areas outside IT, such as marketing, product management, has been a focus of mine for the last number of years.

I’m one of the founders of agilakontrakt.se and the author of two books “Real World Kanban” and “Kanban and Scrum, making the most of both”.

Mechanisms over Methods

Synchronizing Heartbeats of Unconventional Start-ups

How do you build a new business model and ensure cross-organizational deliveries in a startup that sits in a big corporate environment? Especially in an area driving high complexity and consisting of multiple moving parts of different agile maturity and understanding. And how do you go from a department of a big machinery to a stand-alone company without sacrificing deliveries?

Agile best practices and methodologies will only get us so far when we are disrupting the core whilst being in it. In order to get the cogwheels turning in the same pace and ensuring nobody drops the ball, we need to create a learning environment, promoting agile mechanisms rather than methodologies. At the same time focusing on actual deliveries rather than delivery practices or ceremonies.

We created a delivery engine where we combine both digital and business deliveries to enable all teams involved to work towards the same objectives. Inviting people to shape how we constantly improve our way of working. Adapting each cycle in a pragmatic way, utilizing Scrum or SAFe mechanisms when it makes sense, but constantly ensuring value is added by each new introduction. Never losing focus on delivery, actual outcome, and connection to business value and results.

Join me as I share my experience on what worked for us as in two unconventional start-up scenarios and how you can use Agile mechanisms over Agile methods in your organization.

Stina Linderoth works as Head of commercial products at Aurobay (a sister company to Volvo Cars) and has previous background with Care by Volvo and agile transformation within Volvo Cars.

Over the last six years she has been part of the agile transformation of Volvo Cars Digital and also headed up the Care by Volvo delivery engine, enabling complex digital deliveries across product areas and organizations. A role critical to handling collaboration of efforts and dependencies to continuously evolve and optimize the business model. Today she is establishing the Commercial digital landscape at Aurobay, a start-up with an already established global operation .

She is an experienced leader with experience in digital change initiatives and related methodologies, with a focus on enabling value delivery and building strong team culture. She is a strong beliver in the importance of creating an environment where people are supported to speak up, innovate and experiment, and foster an atmosphere of idea generation and creative thinking.

The Science of Fairness

When members of an organization perceive the workplace as fair, it has a significant positive impact, both economic and psychological.

Research shows that understanding and applying fairness has a tremendous positive impact on an organization and attempting to improve fairness can be very valuable.

Many things in organizations breathe fairness implemented - from salary frameworks, promotion processes, benefits packages to systems and frameworks (i.e like agile, sociocracy, and so on) how we organize ourselves. But the basic bit and fundamentals of fairness are often hidden.

Understanding what fairness really is can help organizations a lot, wherever you are in the organization.

This talk will cover the science of fairness, all the way from what it is and actual ways to apply fairness and with quite some precision, to increase fairness in organizations.

Victoria Vallström spent the past 20 years in software development, creating products in groups. In startups, hypergrowth companies, and more traditional companies. Large and small.

17 of those 20 years in all kinds of leadership roles - from board-and-executive, leader of leaders, to first-line manager. In an oscillating pattern - back and forth - as she loves fresh perspectives.

15 years in Silicon Valley - mainly in enterprise software. During her time at VMware, they grew from ~70 to over 10,000 employees. Past 5 years, in Sweden, at various types of product companies, mainly consumer products.

Victoria also is the creator of the podcast bitcurious. A narrative non-fiction podcast about us, humans, working and creating things together. Exploring & sharing findings from deep dives in the science of fundamentals that sometimes are forgotten or hidden in systems or buzz words. Such as flow, autonomy, fairness, power, and so on…

Precis som tidigare år, kommer det finnas utrymme för blixttal! Som talare har man då 10 minuter (och inte en sekund extra) av allas uppmärksamhet för att dela med sig av sin kunskap, visdom och erfarenhet. Ditt tal kan vara på engelska eller på svenska.

Förutom det fantastiska i att dela scen med talarna här ovanför och alla andra blixttalare, betalar man också bara halva biljettpriset.
