3 Learning Objectives from this Session:

• Effective analyst engagements models that drive value
• Red flags in your review cycle: clear signals that you have, or will have, issues with your requirements discovery team.
• Setting targets for timetable and turnaround: what should you expect from a top notch analyst team?

We’ve all heard that setting priorities in our personal lives is key to achieving our goals.

Some of us hire personal coaches to get our lives in order, but when it comes to what we do within the office, all that planning goes out the window.

Organizations today are running at a much faster pace than ever before. We have technology glued to us at all times so that we can quickly respond to things.

But should we really?

This month Core Performance Concepts will talk about the benefits of prioritizing our days both at home and at work.

They understand that you don’t always have control over the priorities that may be set for you in the office, but will discuss some strategies and approaches to gaining clarity of purpose when your supervisor says something is urgent or if you are feeling like you have too many projects on your plate.

At the end of this session, they will ask for attendees to submit a scenario they would like to have discussed in their May 27th panel. They will share experiences and strategies for helping you get your time in control.

Benefits

• Learn how to prioritize both at home and work
• Identify key strategies to gain clarity
• Plan your projects accordingly
• Submit your scenarios to discuss next session
• Earn 1 PDU

Who should attend:

• Project managers, Portfolio managers,

The demand for smarter data-driven apps, powered by embedded “intelligence” continues to grow as organizations look to better understand and engage the new mobile and social consumer and create competitive advantage.

In fact, Forrester predicts smart computing software will become a $48 billion market, while Gartner projects that 25% of analytic capabilities will be embedded in business applications this year.

From personalized portals, to wearables, to connected devices that have been wired up to the Internet of Things (IoT), the data that will feed – and be consumed by a new generation of information apps – is all around us.

Yet, just as moving to a mobile-first design mindset required some new skills and tools, designing information apps in the era of IoT is very much an art and a science.

Starting with an understanding of the key roles of analytics, we can look at the best ways to attach data to experiences, and how to embed insights that boost user adoption and engagement.

Allen Bonde, (LinkedIn profile) VP of Product Marketing & Innovation, OpenText Analytics & Reporting will review these approaches, as well as how and why analytical tools are becoming more mobile, more predictive, and more embeddable in nearly any app or device.

During this webcast you will learn:

• The top use cases for embedded analytics, and how an “analytic process” can guide the transformation of big (and small) data into useful insights and interactions
• How our integrated design approach – based on open source foundations and rich APIs – shorten the time to connect to new data sources, deploy apps securely, and display interactive data visualization at scale, in any app, on any device (even a smartwatch!)
• Why good information design and emerging best practices for embedding analytics are key to delivering more personalized information, driving user adoption, and delighting end-customers
