Impactful self-reflection exercises for RTEs and Leaders
Jennifer Fawcett
SAFe® Fellow
Organizations don’t transform or change, people do. We as RTEs and leaders we get to go first. We have to bring out the best in ourself, we have to know intimately ourselves. Otherwise, if we don’t have that intimate sense of self, how can we be successful in coaching others in evolving their intimate sense of self? In this keynote SAFe Fellow Jennifer Fawcett shows couple of techniques how can we grow such personal competencies like self-awareness and self-regulation.

Value of PI Planning - Take an economic view
Cindy VanEpps
SPCT
Quantifying scenarios in the language of money has the potential to motivate change in an organisation. To confirm this hypothesis, Cindy VanEpps (SPCT) is passionate about building value calculators that show clearly which values we are actually spending too much on, or which ones are worth spending much more on. Cindy has researched what are the compelling values in PI Planning and in this video she will talk about them and how we can quantify these values to make decisions later.

Getting the Empowerment Engine Running
Shane Harrison
SPC
Why delegation is not empowerment? Shane Harrison answers these and many other questions in this gripping keynote. It is a field report about a SAFe implementation with a focus on empowerment. Shane talks about the damage their initiatives did on servant leadership, incremental delivery, collaboration and other areas. But Shane wouldn’t be Shane if he hadn’t found a way out of it. With impressive examples and anecdotes he shows practices that everyone can apply. A very instructive keynote presentation that is well worth watching.
