A new understanding of disruptive change is just one of many lessons we have learned over the past five years. A hard one that has left us disoriented, but open to improvement. We live in an ever-changing world with IT challenges that are growing in both size and complexity.
Meeting these challenges and turning them into opportunities requires a creative, adaptable and effectively distributed team.
Understanding the underlying differences in diverse teams, such as differences in functional background, education or personality, can facilitate creativity or group problem solving - but only if a group process is well defined.
In this presentation we will explore the idea of group process and diversity beyond race/ethnicity, gender or age. What are the specific needs, requirements or strategies that need to be in place to create cohesive teams?
In this session I will present several books, studies, white papers and other materials to show how we can use and understand better team dynamics, personality and leadership structures.
