About the Webinar:
Have you ever sat in a team meeting and listened to challenges being discussed that sound remarkably similar to the challenges raised in the same meeting 6 months ago? At these meetings everyone has great intentions to solve the challenges, but when back to the day job, nothing changes. Frustrating right?
You can be the one to help your team to move from ideas to action.
This webinar will explore the importance of having a value-based approach to identification of key actions to be taken. It will introduce some key principles of agile that can help non-software development teams to break a challenge into small pieces and build momentum towards addressing the challenge.
Participants will be exposed to the following:
- Tangible actions to unlock value
- Agile scrum application to non-software development teams
- Tools to help structure the ideation to action process
- Discussion on the application of the approach to the Pharma industry.
