Intentional Learning – Map a Successful Strategy

As an Agile team member, we promise to learn. However, our learning is opportunistic and often unplanned. We chase the latest sparkling things and get wide and shallow knowledge. A workshop inspired by skills that portrays Dan North and Chris Matt's work draws your own learning adventure based on your current location and future goals.

1. Introduction - Overview of current learning environment. Beyond degrees and accreditation programs, learning requires personal planning and little training. I will outline the method used in this workshop and highlight the application of this technology to two different teams.

2. Skill drawing and self-assessment Participants will self-assess their skills in the two areas of skills required by their team and skills necessary for their own career development (in 2008 it is a bit , It is essential for the remaining two part setting phases). As a starting point, the presenter provides a list of sample skills of various Agile characters.

Learn / master the goal. Participants check some sample skill maps, analyze their skill maps, and select the skills you want to add or get and the skills you want to achieve.

4. Make a strategy. There are many ways to learn. But conscious learning what you learned and how close it is means increasing the chances of success. We will present briefly the latest study style study and popular methods today. Participants identify the specific next steps to conduct their personal learning adventures and the group will provide ideas and experiences.

Over the last few years, we have developed a network rendering that helps founder visualize what most people do not see to build wise defense strategies. The way to draw various ideas using this map is neither correct nor wrong. This is one of our evolving ways to help founder analyze hidden but very careful forces behind the most successful technology companies. The more network effects, the more users / data / nodes that use the product, the more valuable it is for all users. a) it is inherent in the digital world, b) it applies to all kinds of startups, c) since there are at least 13 when establishing a company, the network effect is the most important defense measure thinking about. d) It is the reason why the network effect accounts for 70% of the value creation of technology companies. The Internet can be easily connected to any network.

In the business world, few companies have maps. Most people lack these basic functions, not maps, so we have what we call maps (story, business flowchart, strategic plan etc). The easiest way to map a business is to begin with user requirements, understand the value chain, and map it to evolution. Even though there are some basic patterns, you can apply these patterns to your map to know things change. There will be more modes, but as you repeat, you need to keep playing the game to learn them. On the map, you can use a common language to communicate clearly with what you want to change. This also allows others to challenge your assumption, which is an important part of learning.
