Synopsis:


Making Business Agile: Governing Ambiguity with the UVF

The art of making business agile is having a flexible enough governance framework that is project management methodology agnostic (i.e. can handle Traditional, Theories of Constraints, Agile, Scrum, XP, etc.) instead of old fashioned command-and-control ruts in which most organizations find themselves. Many organizations want to make the leap but just don't have the road map to get there. The Unified Vision Framework (UVF) is a road map that can help organizations navigate past ambiguity as it unleashes the power of teams to achieve more, with less, faster and with the quality needed to meet and/or exceed client expectations.
Biography - Andrew Kallman

Andrew Kallman MBA, PMP, CSP is the co-author of the UVF and has been successfully using, training and mentoring others to implement this business agile leadership framework in North America, Europe and Asia for the past 16 years with the same, consistent results.  He is currently Portfolio Manager at NPG since January, 2011.  Previously he has held similar project and program management roles for edgecom (a management consulting division of Ericsson in Sweden), DNA Finland, Nokia, NSN (Nokia-Siemens Networks) and Fruugo (Finland/UK) as well as consulting with and training project and program management professionals for Tesco (Welwyn Garden City/London), Boston Consulting Group (Munich), Deutsche Bank (Moscow), Citibank (Singapore), AIG (Dubai), and Volvo (Sweden), and IIL Finland, etc.
