"Lessons Learned: Why Some Software Is Hated and How To On-Board Great Software"
Lee Gilley, Docmo
Information and Registration
Business software (like ERP, CRM, estimating, and project management systems) often disappoints. Expectations are not met. Budgets are exceeded. Productivity is not increased. Users hate it and Excel is used as an alternative. We’ll cover why this happens and how to onboard software that people love.
Learning Objectives:
We will review and learn about a bad software implementation experienced by a major, worldwide company, and the implications this onboarding had on the company.
We will define and study some of the common reasons business software onboarding tends to often be a failure.
We will cover the 3-step methodology which will ensure business software is implemented successfully. |

"Creating Business Agility by Adopting Non-Deterministic Management"
Natty Gur, founder of Galaxies A new non-deterministic management system
Information and Registration
Business Agility is the ability of an organization to renew itself, adapt, change quickly, and succeed in a rapidly changing, ambiguous, turbulent environment. Agility is not incompatible with stability—quite the contrary. Agility requires stability for most companies. (Aaron De Smet)
When describing agility we are describing a living organism or natural phenomena. We are referring to systems that are a collection of parts that interact one with each other to reach purpose. But instead of using non-linear and non-deterministic approaches used by science to understand, explain, learn and often even improve systems we are using linear, deterministic and analytic approaches.
Non-deterministic science and tools such as chaos theory, complex systems, and system thinking have a tremendous contribution to our life. without them, we wouldn’t enjoy lasers, semiconductors, and remote controls. Non-deterministic approaches define and explain how living organisms are evolving, adapting, changing quickly, and succeed in a rapidly changing, ambiguous, turbulent environment. Understanding and implementing non-deterministic approaches into organization management and organization system is the only way to make a change that will make your organization agile.
In this session, Natty Gur will explore the different non-deterministic approaches and tools and how any company can adopt them to create an agile organization, as agile as the systems we see in natur |
