SUMMARY:Our Ocean Wealth Summit
DESCRIPTION:The ‘Our Ocean Wealth Summit’ will take place in Galway this year as part of SeaFest 2017. \nCome and hear from speakers with international perspectives on how Ireland is transforming its marine sector through and new thinking both as a means of achieving economic prosperity for the world and as an imperative to protect marine resources for future generations. \nThe Ocean Wealth Summit will be held as part of SeaFest\, Ireland’s national maritime festival which is returning to Galway following the success of last year’s event. \nSession A: Progress on Harnessing Our Ocean Wealth\nThe objective of this session is to provide a platform whereby tangible progress towards the goals of Harnessing Our Ocean Wealth\, the national maritime plan for Ireland\, can be announced. \nSession B: The Drive for Innovation\nThis session is intended to highlight to the audience the global context in which efforts to transform Ireland’s marine industry must take place. \nSession C: Smarter and Better\nThis session will examine how Ireland’s existing established economic sectors\, such as the food sector\, can turn their attention to the sea.

SUMMARY:Agile-Lean Ireland presents: Barry O'Reilly - Designing for Business Evolution
DESCRIPTION:Description \nYou are cordially invited to our amazing August meetup. We’re back with a bang! How do you top the ALI2017 conference? How about by getting the brilliant Barry O’Reilly\, co-author of Lean Enterprise\, as our August meetup speaker! \nTalk: Designing for Business Evolution \nTo evolve businesses\, leverage technology and exceed customer expectations\, organizations need more than a leap of faith. They need to design for it. \nIn this talk\, I share how I’ve been using practices and principles from design thinking\, lean and agile to help organizations design for continuous evolution and become experimental by design. \nDesigners routinely use methods such as hypothesis testing\, customer journey mapping and enquiry to uncover and resolve complex challenges. But they fail to realize how those skills and capabilities can be leveraged beyond product development alone. \nThrough case studies and examples from the organizations I work with I showcase the value of design and designers. These organizations understand that design isn’t just about user interfaces and pixels — it influences everything. I share concrete tools and techniques that drive culture change and business performance\, and challenge teams to rethink the role they can play in creating high performance organizations.
