SUMMARY:FACC-MN Webinar: Creating a Culture of Innovation
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for an engaging webinar with guided conversations and group activities led by FACC member Thierry Boudet\, Innovation Catalyst & Technology Change Leader. Thierry will share insight gained from personal research and experience\, and will encourage a group reflection on how to create a culture of innovation in an organization. The goal of the session is for participants to gain new information\, learn from others\, and leave with specific ideas on what they can do to drive\, enable and sustain innovation in their own teams. \nAbout CapNuvo \nCapNuvo provides innovation leadership training and advice to businesses and professional organizations. With a phonetic wink to my native French language\, the name CapNuvo means a new heading\, a new direction. Innovation is typically pursued to get to a better place or a better state\, and CapNuvo encapsulates my commitment to point teams in the right direction as they navigate their way to sustainable and continuous innovation practices. \nAbout Thierry Boudet   \nI was born in France and moved to the US in 2000\, landing in the beautiful state of Minnesota and settling in the Twin Cities. You can find extensive information about my professional and leadership experience on my LinkedIn profile. To learn more about the genesis of CapNuvo and some of my early work\, see this story on the Technological Leadership Institute’s web site at the University of Minnesota. \nCreating a culture of innovation in an organization is an inherently complex endeavor. I strive to clarify and simplify this journey. Operationalizing innovation and inspiring teams in their quest to become more innovative have become a personal mission. \nThrough research and personal experience\, I developed a point of view on innovation that I am passionate about sharing. The point of view I promote is not a prescriptive model. Rather\, it is a practical approach that highlights key conditions that must be met and suggests actions to take. It leaves great flexibility in implementation and incorporates continuous improvement mechanisms to increase the maturity of an innovation culture over time. \nI refine this point of view through continuous research and by using every opportunity I have to learn from others\, including through the workshops I lead. \nIf you seek to stimulate innovation in your organization or need to create a more innovative work environment but you don’t know where to begin\, start with CapNuvo. \nWho should attend?\nDoes your organization need to be more innovative? Have you been asked to lead innovation but don’t know where to start? Or are you simply interested in getting past the innovation buzzword and want to learn how a culture of innovation is nurtured? If one of these questions applies to your situation\, then this event is for you. \n  \nREGISTER NOW

SUMMARY:FACC-NY Webinar: Managing Team Dynamics in a Time of Uncertainty
DESCRIPTION:DISCUSSION\nProfessionals around the globe are all massively transforming the way that they work together as we move to hermetic workspaces in our homes during lockdown and measures to maintain social distance.  Interestingly\, all of the research on virtual and geographically distributed teams has centered on closing the ‘social distance’ gap by virtual means.  This is the time for us to think about what it means for our working days\, work habits\, and new lessons from COVID-19.https://www.faccnyc.org/civicrm/event/info?id=211 \nWhether during a pandemic or in other periods\, have you ever noticed that working in teams does not always go as projected\, often due to questions of diversity? Have you already perceived the underlying complexity and challenges of teams you are a member of or teams you are managing? Have you ever wondered why a ‘no’ doesn’t mean ‘no’\, and a ‘yes’ does not mean ‘yes’?  Have you found yourself feeling frustrated with professional situations that occur frequently with colleagues or partners from other countries?  Finally\, do you have any examples to share or to examine as cases? \nWe’ll review the multiple aspects of migrating all of our work online\, how group diversity (cultural\, cognitive\, social) intersects with virtual work\, and how it may contribute to misunderstandings\, as well as excellent lessons in leadership.  In this workshop\, you’ll get to work on your own unique ‘Cultural Profile’ to determine your working preferences\, and then we’ll review some of the major dimensions of culture relevant to teams and their managers to see where you stand. Finally\, we’ll work interactively on culture-specific critical incidents to find creative solutions to interpreting and reacting to our diverse\, international\, and interesting work environments. \nMEET THE SPEAKER\nMichelle Mielly is an American development anthropologist and interculturalist\, active in international education.
