As Project managers we “Sell” all the time!

• We “Sell” the project & the project Vision to stakeholders.
• We “Sell” the “Scope-ing” of the project to stakeholders.
• We “Sell”the project to potential team members to get them on our team
• AND Basically … We “Sell” our Skills

Building your “Sales” skills is one of the strongest “Payoffs”
That you can get to help your projects succeed.

Lack of emotional intelligence skills is the one of the biggest and overlooked reason for missed revenue goals.

Often, salespeople know what to do; however, in tough selling situations, they let nonproductive emotions take over.

They discount too soon, write practice proposals without proper qualification and continue to meet with non-decision makers.

Their inability to execute the right selling behaviors during stressful situations lead to poor sales results.

When it comes to sales, emotional intelligence skills are every bit important as hard selling skills.

In this interactive presentation, participants will:

• Learn the neuroscience behind effective selling and influence
• Avoid fight or flight responses when meeting with challenging prospects
• Bridge the knowing and doing gap by integrating hard sales skills training and soft skills training
• Learn how specific emotional intelligence skills such as empathy, assertiveness and impulse control directly affect successful sales outcomes
• Discover how to create emotionally intelligent sales cultures that are competitive and collaborative

From the world of manufacturing, to Agile, to DevOps, the concept of “Kaizen” has become foundational to linking the team mentality to the long-term quality of a team’s actual output.

Literally meaning “good change,” in Japanese, in a larger sense Kaizen is a term that has come to mean continuous improvement in the world of IT and software projects.

If you think stellar, delightful, compulsive quality is important for your success – and you’d better – then the concept of Kaizen is critical to how you teach your teams, how you lead your teams, and how you perform your work.

In recent years, the wide-open marketplace and a rising Agile mentality has made it obvious that cultural elements in the workplace are just as important as specific tools and processes.

Among these cultural elements, none is more important than a well-established dedication to Continuous Improvement.

Let Chris Knotts (LinkedIn profile) help you put practical lessons in place to begin putting your continuous improvement program today!

Concurrency, Co-existence & Complexity:
Three keys To implementing SQL On Hadoop

SQL has long been the most widely used language for big data analysis.

The SQL-on-Hadoop ecosystem is loaded with both commercial and open source alternatives, each offering tools optimized for various use cases.

Fledgling analytical engines are in incubation, but:

• Are they ready to become full-fledged members of your enterprise infrastructure?
• Are they ready to fly?

In the real world, enterprises must understand their needs and select a SQL-on-Hadoop solution that addresses them.

Points to consider:

• What are your analytics use cases—will a single user be working on data discovery or will multiple users perform daily analytics?
• Will you need to modify SQL to adjust to different deployment scenarios, or does a single solution exist for on-premises, Cloud, and Hadoop?
• Can a single solution support a variety of workloads from quick-hit dashboards to complex, resource-intensive, join-filled queries?

In this webcast, you will learn:

• Some of the challenges associated with the democratization of analytics while using SQL on Hadoop
• Criteria other than performance that should be considered for enterprise-grade analytics
• How Ambari and Kerberos fit in for management and security of your data.
• How HPE Vertica for SQL on Hadoop can be used as part of a modern IT infrastructure to deliver high-performance SQL on Hadoop.

Presenters:

Satish Sathiyavageswaran (LinkedIn profile) is a Solutions Architect for Hewlett Packard Enterprise Big Data Platform. Working with HPEnterprise for 6+ years, Satish’s primary focus is working on Proof of Concept for projects involving Vertica SQL on Hadoop and its integration with other applications in the Hadoop eco system.

Hochan Won (LinkedIn profile) is a Corporate Systems Engineer for HPE Big Data Platform. Hochan has been working with HPE Vertica for the last two years. Prior to HPE, she was a Database Administrator for over 13 years, working with different database platforms, such Oracle, IBM Informix/Netezza, and SQL Server.
