What is CxQ?

We typically associate success and leadership with smarts, passion and luck, but in today’s hypercompetitive world, even those gifts aren’t enough.

Strategist Erica Dhawan argues that the game changer is a thoroughly modern skill called Connectional Intelligence (CxQ). Virtually anyone can maximize his or her potential, and achieve breakthrough performance, by developing this crucial ability.

So, what is CxQ?

Connectional Intelligence is the ability to combine knowledge, ambition and human capital to forge connections on a global scale that create unprecedented value and meaning.

As radical a concept as Emotional Intelligence was in the 90s, Connectional Intelligence is helping people enlist supporters, accelerate innovation, develop strategies and sustain solutions to big problems.

This dynamic webcast explores using connectional intelligence to boost your professional success and leadership skills. You’ll hear real-life stories and leave with an action plan to become a power player in your organization, including:

• How anyone can excel not just through skills and smarts, but through Connectional Intelligence
• Keys to leveraging your networks and connections, and creating contagious positive results
• Successful tactics used to address connectional overload in changing turbulent times
• How leaders create deep connections of fierce loyalty and respect from their team and customers
• How connectionally intelligent leaders outperform the competition and create remarkable results

We encourage you to register even if you are unable to attend live; you’ll receive replay information following the event.

 You’ve identified a real business need for a big data project …
Now what?

How do you articulate and justify this need, in order to fund the initiative?

When pitching a big data strategy to company stakeholders, you need to know your audience — understanding each role, and its accompanying needs and concerns, is critical.

For instance, business analysts might want a SQL-based solution that integrates with current BI and reporting tools; business owners may want to uncover new revenue streams or increased operational efficiency; and data scientists may look for tools to creatively explore large volumes of data, quickly.

Having a successful big data strategy can deliver massive benefits to the business — new products and services, reduced customer churn, and cost reductions, to name a few — but first you must know your audience’s interests, and connect those interests to business imperatives.

Thinking in terms of revenues, costs, and competitiveness can help you communicate your vision to technologists and business stakeholders alike, and explain what’s required to make the project succeed.

Join Larry Lancaster, Founder of Zebrium, for a blueprint on how to get buy-in for your big data project. In this webcast, you’ll learn how to successfully:

• Envision the business value of your big data project
• Select the right use-case to relay your message
• Identify how the business can monetize new analytics capabilities
• Communicate the benefits of your data strategy, to different audiences

Presenter: Larry Lancaster, (LinkedIn profile) Founder of Zebrium, is well-known in the storage array industry as a visionary of the IoT approach to enterprise storage. Previously he was the Chief Data Scientist at Nimble Storage. Larry had painted the originals of big data, analytical modeling, simulation, forecasting, visualization, and relational tools for the  InfoSight suite of automated services. Larry has a number of patents and publishes a number of peer-reviewed and trade-secret articles in neuroscience, reliability analysis, and industrial applications of queueing theory. Larry founded NetApp’s Engineering Informatics and Support Automation group, invented Glassbeam’s ETL-focused SPL technology and received a leadership award from the International Congress on Neural Networks.

One of the most pressing decisions facing midmarket IT leaders is whether they need to build a data warehouse.

Midsize organizations have heard the horror stories about how hard and costly it can be to build a data warehouse. And then there is no guarantee it will be successfully adopted by users.

Most midsize organizations struggle to find the resources and skills needed to successfully complete their BI and analytic projects, yet, midmarket IT leaders know that it is tough to run a business without a sound data foundation.

In this webinar Kurt Schlegel (Gartner bio) Gartner Research VP & Rick Greenwald (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) Gartner Research Director examines how midsize organizations are tackling this decision.

Discussion Topics:

• How can data warehouses increase the value of our data assets
• How are data warehouses different from general purpose DBMS use cases
• What tools and approaches are used to build data warehouses
