Cold war secrec y created a need-to-know culture that impeded unofficial information sha ring. State’s diplomatic corps is selected for risk aversion and trained to obtain many clearances and authorizations before officially transmit ting information internally. \;\n \;\nThen the end of the Cold Wa r was followed by the East Africa embassy bombings and 9/11. The paradig m shifted. The lack of information sharing and collaboration meant that puzzle pieces remain scattered and threats were unidentified. In this sh ift\, the State Department’s office of eDiplomacy was born. \;\n 3\;\nCome find out how State Department has embraced lightweight social media tools behind the firewall to move from a need-to-know culture to n eed-to-share one. \;\n \;\nMeet Richard Boly\, Director of eDiplom acy\, US Department of State \;\nRichard Boly is a career U.S. diplom at and currently the Director of the Office of eDiplomacy\, an applied t echnology think tank for the United States Department of State. Previous ly\, he was a National Security Affairs Fellow the Hoover Institution at Stanford University\, where he launched the Global Entrepreneurship Pro gram. He recently served in U.S. Embassy\, Rome\, where he developed and ran a program to promote entrepreneurship in Italy. Other embassy assig nments include the Dominican Republic\, Ecuador\, and Paraguay. Richard is the most junior diplomat to win the Cobb Award for commercial diploma cy. \;\n \;\nIn a prior life\, Richard was the first Presidential Management Fellow with the Inter-American Foundation\, was a consultant with the Inter-American Development Bank\, and founded and ran a shrimp hatchery in coastal Ecuador.

Jim McCarthy\, who led the legendary turnaround of the Vis ual C++ group at Microsoft\, left Microsoft in 1996 to create a team dyn amics laboratory to figure out how to always create a create a high perf ormance team. \;\n \;\nThe McCarthy lab has focused extensively o n 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. \;\n \;\nLearn about the se protocols in this motivating\, challenging talk. In just a few minute s\, you can pick up the fundamentals of an entirely new class of tool. & #13\;\n \;\n• 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 accounta bility and moves the team forward with a bias toward action. \;\n 3\;\n• Do you accept that it is vitally important that you get the opini ons of others about the quality of work products but notice that it is c onsistently painful to give and receive feedback? – Learn about the Perf ection Protocol which solves all the problems associated with criticism. \;\n \;\n• Do you notice that dumb things consistently happen on your team and everyone seems to lack self-awareness to some degree\, in cluding you? – Learn about the Core Commitments which provide a team con stitution about commitment and accountability to the team. And learn abo ut the Personal Alignment Protocol which allows each team member to addr ess self-awareness around courage\, integrity\, passion and other virtuo us behaviors. \;\n \;\nThis event is free and is at our new locat ion\, Puppet Labs.

Encourage Pervasive Leadership \;\n \;\nWhy do we think colla boration is so hard\, so complex? Well\, one reason is that it’s largel y antithetical to how we have been enculturated for generations. At the same time\, it’s increasingly important for business survival and has l ong been important for personal happiness. February’s SPIN talk looks at what is needed to speed up and optimize opportunities for collaboration on project teams and in organizations from a leadership perspective. W e’ll discuss what it means to have a “dialogic mindset” to “presence” le adership in the organization and discuss a model that leaders all across \, up\, and down the organization can use to foster collaboration. Prin ciples around freedom and accountability as well as deep democracy will be covered and related to the workplace. \;\n \;\nWhile this top ic does not present a panacea for dysfunctional organizations it will pr ovide attendees with new thinking and action-base tools for fostering co llaboration wherever they lead. Come prepared to participate. While sh e respects “tourists” this speaker draws out audience interaction. Lead ership is a conversation\, not a presentation. \;\n \;\nBio: \ ;\n \;\nJean Richardson has been a software development professional since 1989\, She is experienced in project management\, writing\, traini ng\, public speaking\, and requirements and business analysis. During he r career\, she has designed and implemented a number of communications p rograms\, managed dozens of projects\, helped to assemble and led large and small co-located and distributed teams\, led process improvement ini tiatives\, and led professional development and education efforts for so ftware developers in all specialties. \;\n \;\nAs a businessperson \, she is firmly aware of the value\, as well as the cost\, of customer intimacy. She cautions fellow software professionals against too strictl y applying the adage “it’s just business\,” because business is done by human beings. She has learned that basic human issues are at the root of most business problems and most customer/vendor\, employer/employee\, o r client/consultant disputes. Jean believes that if we ignore this fact we dehumanize ourselves and imperil our society. \;\n \;\nHer expe rience and career path have spanned both traditional and agile methods\, frameworks\, and cultural perspectives. The Agile leadership model she espouses\, Pervasive Leadership\, is designed to help leaders set a col laborative context while still meeting their own stewardship responsibil ities to the organization. \;\n \;\nJean teaches courses in Effect ive Conflict Engagement\, Collaboration for Cross-Functional Teams\, Set ting Collaborative Context\, Working Together When You Can’t Be Face-to- Face\, and Facilitative Leadership. \;\n \;\nAs a consultant\, her client list boasts a wide range of businesses including ADP\, Chrome Sy stems\, Intel\, Daimler Chrysler\, Kryptiq Corporation\, Mentor Graphics \, Oregon State Department of Human Services\, Portland General Electric \, The Regence Group/Cambia Health Solutions\, and Tripwire. EPHT GEORG E\, a project Jean led for the Public Health Division of Oregon State De partment of Human Services\, won the Project Management Institute 2009 P roject of the Year Award for the Portland Chapter. \;\n \;\nA Spec ial Treat from PNSQC \;\n \;\nPlan on coming early!

The Mission of the PNSQC is to enable knowledge exchange to produce higher quality software.
