As the name 201 suggests, those with some background in business architecture or enterprise architecture may find the series more informative.
This session will focus on value streams and demonstrate their role and position in the larger business architecture framework. The presenter will illustrate the conceptual structure of an architectural value stream with a real-life example drawn from work to transform Minnesota’s human service delivery system. Learn the relationship between an organization’s value propositions and the experience of the people who seek value from the organization.
This series will explore the core business architecture domains that DHS is leveraging to integrate service delivery and develop an enterprise portfolio of products. The series will be especially helpful to the public sector and others whose product is a service, rather than a tangible item for purchase.

Even with the application of sound project management concepts, projects can still skid off track. Projects encounter many different and unexpected challenges and roadblocks and an effective project manager and team need to be able to address these situations to keep the project on a successful path.
The speaker has assembled a long list of project challenges from questions and identified proven solutions based on over 40 years of industry and public sector experience.
Four challenging project situations with solutions will be addressed.
Audience: Decision makers (Large or Small) for organizations on resources, projects, processes, and strategy.
Description: Every decision you make (or delay making or avoid) carries an element of risk.
Psychology Today’s latest research states that you make 35,000 decisions each day! That equates to about 2000 decisions per hour, and in an 8-hour work day that is 16,000 decisions related to work daily! You are already informally, subconsciously, or automatically calculating risk for your job 16,000 times each day. You could spend your whole day analyzing risk, or you could determine when to move those risk decisions from being automatic to being calculated. This Leadership Toolbox session will show you how and when to use a risk register. It is easy, and like any good tool, it will not only impress your leaders and colleagues, it will also provide an opportunity for collaboration and input.
ABOUT THE PRESENTER: You know Beth Schaefer as the host of the Expert Insights series, but she also manages the staff of the Institute for Professional Development at Metro State as part of the university’s leadership team. Before her role at Metro State, Beth was the director of an area learning center serving grades 7 – 12. In this role, she led teachers, staff, students, and parents through experiential learning and the changes that occurred during those secondary education years. In her leadership roles, Beth mostly navigates change that is generated by external forces (economy, pandemic, legislation) to meet the needs of customers while lacking the time, money, and resources that would make those changes easier to lead.
