Once the organization has gotten beyond the harvesting “low hanging fruit” common with the beginning of a continuous improvement initiative, improvement efforts may require more sophistication.

Lean Six Sigma, the marriage of the tools and concepts in Lean and Six Sigma, bridge that gap!

This session will introduce you to Statistical Process Control (SPC) and Measurement Systems Analysis (MSA), two of tools used to dial in value and further eliminate wastes when initial methods no longer provide gains and data or data capture is present or available.

Join Elena Gilbert in this session for an excellent introduction to statistical process control & measurement systems analysis.

Join Dot Tudor (LinkedIn profile) in  this webinar to learn about the AgileBA (Agile Business Analysis) Handbook – published by DSDM Consortium – which offers useful, practical and comprehensive guidance on the role of the business analyst working in an Agile way.

AgileBA aims to give context to the business analyst role beyond the individual project, in relation to organisational mission and strategy, and to give additional depth and guidance for the business analyst role.

Effective business analysis skills are widely regarded in project management and product development circles as being critical in helping organizations to achieve their business goals.

With the project management industry seeing a boom in popularity of Agile approaches over recent years, AgileBA aims to address the need for clear and helpful guidance to support business analysts, particularly those operating in an Agile environment.

The Handbook also acts as reference material for the professional AgileBA certification from APMG.

Information security has long focused on looking out for the needs of the business.

In the Internet age, however, businesses regularly put consumers at risk by not adequately protecting their information.

Times are changing, and focusing security policies around limiting liability for the company isn’t adequate.

While there has been very limited liability for a business if the personal information of the consumer, the silent stakeholder, is stolen, that will soon change; the Federal Trade Commission now has the power to pursue companies that are not adequately protecting consumer information.

Businesses need to adjust their perception of what they are protecting and why.

Ric Messier explores the concept of risk in relation to information assets. By the end of this webcast, you’ll be able to appropriately determine protections for assets that are most at risk.

Topics include:

• Security 2.0: Policy and compliance
• Metrics
• Security 3.0: Understanding the landscape
• Modern adversaries
• Monetizing the victim
• Data protection
• Data loss prevention
• Ethical obligations

Presenter: Ric Messier (LinkedIn profile) GSEC, CEH, CISSP had his first experience on a global network called the BITNET in the early 1980s. Since then he has been hooked on security after unexpectedly exploiting a hole in a mail program on an IBM mainframe. In the 90’s Ric spent several years working on VOIP solutions and quickly became an expert in forensic investigations.  Ric regularly consults to law enforcement on their investigations. Ric lead a team developing a managed intrusion detection system offering at Genuity and provided security expertise to the implementation and use of session border controllers in their VoIP networ . With Ric’s expertise he is the defacto expert in performing penetration tests on products!
