And while many organizations find initial success that generates interest and demand for scaling agile and digital transformations\, even more common is the ultimate disappointment in not achieving the desired outcomes promised by even the most well-intentioned technologists. \nPlease join Jariatu Mansaray and Charlotte Chang for this TIGER Talk and you’ll learn that all is NOT lost. \nIf we just look to our past we find evidence of achieving the outcomes we hope to see in our futures\, both for organizations and as individuals. In today’s business landscape modern work is often misunderstood\, applying archaic approaches and mandating standards based on a world that no longer exists. To effectively navigate where it’s going\, being ready requires the often undervalued human skills of observation\, adaptation\, and evolution. \n*************** \nJariatu Mansaray is a people-focused product coach at Industrial Logic with a passion for empowering teams and driving results. She specializes in process operations and change facilitation among dynamic organizations. As a Co-Founder and the Executive Director of Black Tech Columbus\, she is focused on creating community and job and career advancement opportunities for minorities in the Central Ohio technology community. As an agile coach and product consultant with a background in chemical engineering and trauma-informed counseling\, Jariatu began her career in technology focused on finding and implementing outside-of-the-box solutions for organizations of all sizes. From training startups in cloud technology to managing cybersecurity programs for one of the country’s largest financial institutions\, she is focused on using Agile methodologies to ensure effective outcomes. When she isn’t working\, she spends her time trying new restaurants and traveling with family and friends. \nCharlotte Chang is an Experience Director with nearly 20 years of experience in technology and product strategy. She enjoys working with executives\, managers\, and teams to create Systems of Compassion that provide a sustainable\, humane\, inclusive experience for all contributors throughout product development. Recently\, her experience has focused on launching new products\, marketing and brand management\, and designing change within organizations. Previously\, she has worked with companies across multiple countries\, industries\, and company sizes\, performing every role on a delivery team: iteration manager\, product designer\, user experience\, business analyst\, developer\, and tester.

Eric Schultz sketches the history of American innovation in his latest book\, Innovation on Tap: Stories of Entrepreneurship From the Cotton Gin to Broadway’s Hamilton.  \nFor this TIGER Talk\, Eric will choose a handful of stories from the book — including a look at how community played a critical role in creating Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Hamilton — with takeaways that you can apply immediately to your start-up or innovation project. \n“Think of business history as one giant laboratory\,” Schultz says. “None of the experiments can be replicated exactly\, but many can provide valuable insights into your current innovation and entrepreneurial challenges.” \n*************** \nEric Schultz earned his BA Degree in History at Brown University and might have spent a career in the ivory tower of academia\, but wandered into a GMAT test one Saturday and ended up with an MBA from the Harvard Business School. \nConsequently\, he devoted his career to leading high-growth technology businesses\, including as CEO of Sensitech\, a venture-backed “supply chain visibility company\,” which was ultimately acquired by Carrier Corporation. \nIn addition to authoring Innovation on Tap\, Schultz is co-author of Food Foolish: The Hidden Connection Between Food Waste\, Hunger\, and Climate and King Philip’s War: The History and Legacy of America’s Forgotten Conflict. \nSchultz lives surrounded by STEM professionals\, including a father\, wife\, and daughter who are all engineers\, but he has always found ways to mix history and business. He remains convinced that liberal arts majors are essential players in the global innovation community! \n*************** \nLike all TIGER Events\, this one is FREE. \nTimeline: \n11:30 am – Lunch / Socializing \n11:50 am – Introduce yourself to fellow participants (your “best 15 seconds”) \n12:05 pm – Hand-off to Eric \n1:00 pm – Wrap / More Socializing \n[expire-content date=”2023-10-04 1:00pm” message=”This event has passed so registration is closed.”]Oops!
