Online Webinar – Recorded July 17th

Consistency is the hallmark of an effective, agile organization. With thousands of moving parts, ensuring that every user and every system is being managed consistently is critical.

The laptop logging in from across town should be managed as robustly, as completely and as securely as desktops in the office next door. However, with thousands of systems logging onto and off various networks in multiple networks, it isn’t feasible for the IT department to manually touch every machine, ensuring it is in compliance with all IT policies.

While some of these policies deal with capacity and performance, others manage access, authentications and security.

As the amount of managed systems grows so does the need to properly monitor compliance and mitigate risks through comprehensive policy management and enforcement. And, as the complexity of issues associated with doing so efficiently, effectively and in real-time increase, the priority for having the best tools working for your organization to keep your people, assets and process safe will be paramount.

As an IT asset manager you need to know such things as:

1. What policies get applied to which systems?
2. What if a user inadvertently makes a change to the system?
3. What about new systems?

View the presentation to learn how to:

• Ensure distributed systems are in compliance with IT policies or recurring services
• Streamline the process of applying and updating policies to multiple machines
• Achieve greater confidence that distributed systems are secure and in compliance
• Manage network policy enforcement of machines groups depending on security risk, business use or service level
• Allow new machines to automatically inherit policy settings without any intervention

NOTE: You may wish to Test Your System to ensure that you can view this webinar.

When work requires close collaboration, even the most extraordinary individual effort is no substitute for great teamwork. TGI Teamabilityâ„¢ is a completely new online behavioral assessment for hiring, workforce planning, coaching, and team-building. Project Managers need to be able to create strong teams. Many teams are strongly role based and a solid understanding of Teamability will assist in choosing and developing agile team members.

The Gabriel Institute has created technology that reveals how people will perform when working with others to solve problems, overcome obstacles, and achieve common goals. In short, it measures Teamability: the ability to connect with others to form a productive team.

Individual strengths can lead to a personal triumph, but a team is greater than the sum of its parts. TGI Teamabilityâ„¢ identifies behaviors that impact quality of team interaction and ‘fit’ to job responsibilities: the ‘who fits where’ and the ‘why’ of winning teams. With Teamability, you can reliably hire ‘the best of the best’, identify and resolve team performance problems, and build a strong, resilient human infrastructure

There are many ways to measure skills, talents, and traits, but teaming metrics are unique. It took 25 years of research and testing – including 9 years of software development – to produce TGI Teamabilityâ„¢ reports, which are the foundation of TGI’s Role-Based Approach to selecting, structuring, managing and motivating teams.

Organizations of every type and size experience the cost and pain of human performance failings, and are highly vulnerable to the ‘collateral damage’ that results from hiring the wrong people. TGI Teamabilityâ„¢ makes it possible to reliably select high quality team players, and to match their job responsibilities to the way they envision themselves serving their team (their ‘Role’).

TGI Teamability was designed from its very beginnings to measure and predict the quality of a person’s team interaction.

TGI Teamability can greatly reduce the costs and risks associated with errors in hiring and promoting, while delivering significant business value by matching people to the functional mission of their team. It is also highly effective in analyzing and solving team performance problems.

This certification course is a comprehensive overview of Teamability and CHI methods. It prepares learners to provide basic support to users of TGI Teamabilityâ„¢, and to apply for an optional Certification. Certification requires passing a written examination and meeting TGI’s modest standards for ongoing participation.

Course content includes:

• Participant’s own Teamability Report at no additional cost
• Four contact hours of training, including all materials
• Readings to be completed during course attendance
• Brief written certification examination to measure comprehension of course materials and applications (optional to complete)
