Workshop Description: Program Management is based upon the premise of managing multiple projects and/or teams in a way which brings benefits that could not have been achieved without the coordination. There are many ways to provide that coordination. Scrum@Scale provides the best framework for coordination due to its minimal overhead. Where other methods involve tons of rules and processes which add more work, cost, and time to a program, Scrum@Scale boasts a “minimum viable bureaucracy” that requires little extra meetings and ceremonies but provides the techniques for maximizing value via increased alignment. Scrum@Scale naturally extends the core Scrum framework to deliver hyper-productive results across industries and disciplines, including software, hardware, services, operations, and R&D |

Your Next Five Moves by Patrick Bet-David with Greg Dinkin
From the creator of Valuetainment, the #1 YouTube channel for entrepreneurs, and “one of the most exciting thinkers” (Ray Dalio, author of Principles) in business today, comes a practical and effective guide for thinking more clearly and achieving your most audacious professional goals.
Both successful entrepreneurs and chess grandmasters have the vision to look at the pieces in front of them and anticipate their next five moves. In this book, Patrick Bet-David “helps entrepreneurs understand exactly what they need to do next” (Brian Tracy, author of Eat That Frog!) by translating this skill into a valuable methodology. Whether you feel like you’ve hit a wall, lost your fire, or are looking for innovative strategies to take your business to the next level, Your Next Five Moves has the answers.
You will gain:
CLARITY on what you want and who you want to be.
STRATEGY to help you reason in the war room and the board room.
GROWTH TACTICS for good times and bad.
SKILLS for building the right team based on strong values.
INSIGHT on power plays and the art of applying leverage.
Combining these principles and revelations drawn from Patrick’s own rise to successful CEO, Your Next Five Moves is a must-read for any serious executive, strategist, or entrepreneur.
