I present the “Resolve Conflicts without compromise” with Jef Cumps at the XP Days Benelux conference on November 24th. Bring a conflict to the session and come out of the session with several ideas to turn this conflict into a win-win situation. If you don’t have any conflicts, you can learn how to help others solve their conflicts as a Systems Thinking consultant.
Portia and I present the “Toyota Way Management Principles to Sustain Lean and Agile” at the XP Days Benelux 2009 conference. Come and learn how we’ve applied the Toyota Way management principles to introduce Lean and Agile methods in such a way that the companies can sustain the change.
XP Days Benelux 2009 programThe first version of the XP Days Benelux 2009 program has just been published. It looks great, with a good mix of subjects, formats and aimed at participants with different levels of experience. Over the next few days we’ll make this program even stronger by adding a few more sessions. The only problem is that we still have more strong session proposals than available slots. More difficult choices ahead… Register now to benefit from the early registration discount.
Aug 15 Agile Tour TorontoSummer in Toronto
The most striking thing about the city is its people: they seem very relaxed and easy going, they take the time to enjoy life, they serve Belgian beer and they stop for red traffic lights. Toronto’s inhabitants come from all over the world. The city is one big melting pot where people from all sortsd of backgrounds live and work together. Of course, I’ve only seen the city in summer. I wonder what the city looks like in winter. Agile in TorontoThis fall, on October 20th, the Toronto Agile community organises their first Agile Tour Toronto. An energetic group of organisers ensures that this will be a day of fun, learning and meeting other people interested in everything Agile. When Gino Marckx is involved you can be sure that it willl look good, be well tought-out and be enjoyable. Gino is also one of the organisers of XP Days Benelux. He’s clearly applying the lessons we learned organising the XP Days. It’s great to see ideas spread. I’m looking forward to the Agile Tour Toronto retrospective results, so that we can learn more. Go to TorontoI won’t be able to be there, unfortunately. But you can! Why not send in a proposal for a session? The deadline is September 10th, but if you send in your ideas now you will benefit from feedback to improve your proposal. If your company wants to connect with the local Agile community, why not sponsor the event? You’ll reach the smartest IT people in the area. Have fun in Toronto! XP Days Benelux 2009
Submit a proposalPresenting a session is a great way to learn. Why don’t you submit a session proposal for XP Days Benelux?
Even if you’ve never created and presented a session before, submit a proposal for XP Days. We practice the agile values, so there’s plenty of collaboration, communication and feedback to help you refine your session. It just requires a bit of courage. Or you could ask for a session on a certain subject. That might give someone the idea to create a session for you. What are you waiting for?I just submitted a proposal about solving conflicts without compromise together with Jef Cumps. Did I mention that up to two presenters per session get a free pass to both days of the conference? See you at the conference! |
