Leadership is a critical skill that is needed in every organization and as our budgets become tighter, our resources more limited, and our teams are spread more widely…leadership has taken on new meanings.

In our globalized workforce, the same skills of success that leaders have been using for years just aren’t gaining the same traction any longer. The new rules of leadership are much more concrete and much more difficult to deliver.

This webinar is going to introduce you to the 3 keys of modern leadership: adaptability, judgment, and integrity.

Dave will also discuss the capstone skill that makes all of these other skills important: communication.

Note: You do have to be a PMI® member to register for this opportunity.

Data theft and digital attacks on established enterprise organizations have reached epic proportions!

Top retailers and even companies who specialize in security consulting are being hacked almost every day.

In September, JP Morgan suffered a devastating information breach – and they are said to have almost 1,000 staff and $250 million of budget dedicated to security.

Even the largest companies and robust organizations are failing to secure their data against now-widespread threats: organized cybercrime, state-sponsored hackers, well-financed black marketeers, etc.

• Why is the current security landscape so dysfunctional?
• Is it possible to keep your information secure these days?

The reality is that although you are more likely than ever to be attacked, the majority of major attacks over the past couple years were actually preventable.

The technology and processes to safeguard your organization do exist – but unfortunately our management methodologies and integration of security objectives into the business have lagged behind.

It’s time to update your understanding of what it takes to prevent data theft in 2015 and beyond. Be prepared for a discussion that goes beyond technology and focuses on the real key to a secure organization – effective security management and process.
