For years we have been architecting technology stacks vertically and horizontally.

In the digital business era, we should not be thinking about “stacks” at all. We should be thinking about mesh or ecosystems, with organizations bringing services from people, business, things and technology from any channel and used anywhere.

Why does this matter?

Because it changes how you think about developing and evolving technology and your partners. It opens the world of options when you are creating solutions and solving problems in your organization.

Discussion Topics:

• The role of business architecture
• How the economics of connections will create value
• Usable application patterns to support digital business

Join BetsyBurton, (LinkedIn profile) VP Distinguished Analyst & Dennis Gaughan (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) Gartner Managing VP to learn to create value in your business.

How do you get everyone in the organization moving together toward business goals? How do you focus people toward performance? The answer lies in performance management, a systematic approach that aligns employee behavior with organizational strategies.

This webinar will equip you with the skills and knowledge to create a process that will develop your employees, shape the culture of your organization (or work unit), and increase productivity.

Learning objectives include:

• Write targeted performance goals
• Diagnose and correct performance issues
• Use coaching techniques to bring out the best in people
• Provide effective feedback on performance
• Deliver performance appraisals that matter
