A 4-hour seminar for technology managers.
At the end of this seminar, managers will have a framework and practical strategies for managing teams through change, optimizing their work, and producing results.
- Starting with the concepts of force, scalars, vectors, and friction, we’ll take Newton’s first and third principles to describe how an organization is inclined to be static and reacts to its effects on it. We’ll apply these concepts with an activity for a free body diagram, aligned to the organization and the team.
- Next up, we’ll tackle how the integral paradox applies to groups and where small team agility can be very powerful in organizational change, how potential and kinetic energy help us get work done, and how spring theory can help managers make sustainable changes.
- Finally, managers will build their comfort with uncertainty and entropy, using tools like the free body diagram to manage work for themselves and their teams.
