create Calagator::Event 1250459722 CIO Group Coaching Program Roll back

description nil → <b>Do you want to add more value by becoming your company’s new revenue engine</b> and engaging customers in innovative ways? Do you need to figure out how to fund transformative projects and be your CEO’s most powerful ally? The CIO Coaching Program will guide and support you as a leader to achieve these goals and bring about revenue growth for your company, as a direct result of your contributions. <b>How It Works</b> 1. Pick a game-changing project – for the IT department or the entire company 2. Work on it intensively for six months with structured support, making huge strides 3. Receive and give coaching among other CIOs from comparable organizations 4. Be pushed out of the comfort zone and into the growth zone, by highly qualified coaches <b>Agenda</b> The SPTLI format involves 12 three-hour group-coaching sessions over a six-month period, meeting bi-weekly. There will also be 30 minute, one-on-one coaching phone calls in the weeks between sessions. <b>Sessions:</b> 1. Introduction to the Process, and Identify each CIO’s Project 2. Refine the Project and Get Feedback 3. Finalize Project and Create Action Plan 4. Metrics and Performance Management 5. Uncover Blind Spots, Receive Coaching, Advance the Project 6. How a CIO can Coach Direct Reports, Advance the Project, Trouble Shoot 7. More on CIO as Coach, Advanced Delegation Skills, Advance the Project 8. At least one CIO has a major setback by now; we all use it as a learning tool as we get that CIO back on track – everyone learns from this experience; remaining sessions are highly customized to what emerges in the group 9. From Breakdown to Breakthrough – using the setback to illuminate problems and create growth 10. Begin to wrap up the project, Delegation trouble-shooting, Empowered work teams 11. Further wrap-up and trouble shooting 12. Celebration and planning for how to keep up the momentum As the CIO, you will be asked to bring in a challenge – some burning need, chronic problem or stalled initiative that, if improved, would break you and your company out to the next level. In the group sessions, you will receive frank, powerful coaching from our facilitators – a former CEO, a CIO and a highly experienced business coach. You will also get feedback and support from your peers in the room and guest CIO’s who will participate in some of the sessions. You make commitments for keeping your project on track every week and report on results at each session.

description To Be Decided This event is free and is at our new location, Puppet Labs. It begins at 6:30 pm with pizza, sponsored by PNSQC (Many thanks to both Puppet Labs and PNSQC for supporting agile in Portland). The program starts at 7:00 pm. After the program you're invited to join us for a no-host gathering at a nearby brewpub for further discussion. → Being a ScrumMaster is not a role for the faint of heart. Effective ScrumMasters use a combination of natural talent, common sense, insight, observation technique, and--well, let's admit it, luck to help teams sustainably use Scrum to reliably deliver business value. But the standard two-day training course doesn't fully prepare us for what lies ahead. In this talk, subtitled, "What I Wish I Knew Before I Became a ScrumMaster," experienced and newer ScrumMasters(or anyone who wants to help a team succeed and deliver) discover and share non-obvious insights into what a ScrumMaster can do to help their teams grow into great teams -- and learn a valuable technique.

description This month's topic: Using GWT to write iPhone Web Apps in Java For the Java coder, GWT is currently as close as it gets to a multi-platform solution for web apps. After a quick GWT review, we will code about in the world of web apps you can run on your desktop and mobile phone, written in Java. This will be a superview presentation touching on GWT, GWT mobile libs and HTML5. ---------- Speaker: Jon Batcheller Jon is one of the founders of PJUG, writing Java apps since 1995. He has written Java programs for a wide variety of applications from IC Design, circuit board layout, hardware/software co-design, assisted living facilit management, to a POS system for the two bars he owns. ---------- PJUG meetings start with some time to eat and socialize (pizza and beverages are provided), followed by the featured speaker, then Q&A, discussion, sometimes a drawing to give away swag. :) Though we like knowing how many people to expect, you don't *have* to RSVP, on Upcoming or otherwise. Go ahead and just show up! Many people also go for a drink and further discussion following the meeting, at a location determined ad hoc (lately, Trees restaurant in the same building). http://twitter.com/pjug http://pjug.org/ (join our mailing list, linked from the website!) → This month's topic: Using GWT to write iPhone web apps in Java For the Java coder, GWT is currently as close as it gets to a multi-platform solution for web apps.

description nil → PLUG Advanced Topics April Meeting IPv6 Networking with Ted Mittelstaedt: Part 1 The first in a multi-part series on IPv6 networking by Ted Mittelstaedt, the author of The FreeBSD Corporate Networker's Guide. Part 1: Theory & management & ISP routing, as well as current events in the IPv6 realm. For example, did you know that Nortel just sold Microsoft a huge chunk of IPv4 legacy addresses for something like 7 million dollars? This has really turned the tables on the game. Up until that happened the thought in the community was that the large ISP's would be the biggest pushers of IPv6 deployment. But this is an early indicator of what's going to happen. The large ISPs are going to spend millions in vacuuming every scrap of IPv4 out of all the corners on the Internet before they will start pushing their users to go to IPv6. That is a serious problem for any small ISP that does not have a stock of IPv4 because they will be run out of numbers and new customers will not be interested in their IPv6 offerings as long as the large ISPs still are handing IPv4 out. Where: Free Geek, 1731 SE 10th Avenue When: TUESDAY, April 19th, 7PM BYO Food and Beverages Sorry for the late announcement. Tax day distracted quite a few of us.

update Calagator::Event 1250459768 Jim McCarthy on The Core Protocols Roll back

description Jim, please add your intro here. Also add any tags that fit This event is free and is at our new location, Puppet Labs. It begins at 6:30 pm with pizza, sponsored by PNSQC (Many thanks to both Puppet Labs and PNSQC for supporting agile in Portland). The program starts at 7:00 pm. After the program you're invited to join us for a no-host gathering at a nearby brewpub for further discussion. → Great software comes from getting your team’s best ideas into the product. Jim McCarthy, who led the legendary turnaround of the Visual C++ group at Microsoft, left Microsoft in 1996 to create a team dynamics laboratory to figure out how to always create a create a high performance team. The McCarthy lab has focused extensively on this challenge, and has produced 11 rich, precise protocols (called the Core) for making unanimous decisions, supporting quality thinking, strengthening design iterations, and incorporating feedback, emotions, nobility, and passion into products. Learn about these protocols in this motivating, challenging talk. In just a few minutes, you can pick up the fundamentals of an entirely new class of tool. • Do you notice too much discussion and arguing and would prefer the best ideas would just get implemented now? –Learn about the Decider Protocol which guarantees unanimous team decisions with accountability and moves the team forward with a bias toward action. • Do you accept that it is vitally important that you get the opinions of others about the quality of work products but notice that it is consistently painful to give and receive feedback? – Learn about the Perfection Protocol which solves all the problems associated with criticism. • Do you notice that dumb things consistently happen on your team and everyone seems to lack self-awareness to some degree, including you? – Learn about the Core Commitments which provide a team constitution about commitment and accountability to the team. And learn about the Personal Alignment Protocol which allows each team member to address self-awareness around courage, integrity, passion and other virtuous behaviors. This event is free and is at our new location, Puppet Labs. It begins at 6:30 pm with pizza, sponsored by PNSQC (Many thanks to both Puppet Labs and PNSQC for supporting agile in Portland).
