“BIM & Agile: Towards The Change” is a presentation that drafts the similarities between BIM (Building Information Modeling) and AGILE management in terms of values, processes and workflows.

Chadi Kahwaji (LinkedIn profile) concludes the session with thoughts on the Change Management needed in order to implement them in organizations.

The objective of this session is to expose why and how BIM is becoming essential as a process, not only for modeling, but also for management once a facility is handed-over to its operator(s).

When compared to Agile, BIM incorporates many – if not all – of its values.

As a matter of fact, BIM and Agile are transforming the future of the architecture, engineering and construction industries (AEC), questioning their survival sometimes.

In order to successfully accomplish the shift from any conventional process, Change must be addressed and managed in first place to influence both organizational culture and mindset.

Do it the Agile way!

“Automate everything you can.”

This DevOps principle propels automated testing into a primary enabling position for any organization that embarks on a DevOps journey.

No longer an option. No longer something we *should* do. Either we automate testing or the bright promise of DevOps will remain out of reach.

In this session, Alan Koch (LinkedIn profile)  will examine the multiple ways that automated testing is the lynchpin that enables the flow of software through the DevOps pipeline.

See how it changes – but does not eliminate – manual testing. (After all, “everything you can” is not everything.)

In the age of digital business, application developers must connect an exploding number of data sources and data consumers, spread across various delivery models.

To bring together data in such an environment, the traditional centralized approach of integration is ineffective. Instead, an apt solution is a distributed architecture, which allows the building of microservices that can then be deployed anywhere – public cloud, private cloud, or on-premise datacenters to best satisfy individual use cases and requirements, from governance and security to latency and locality.

Rahul Kamdar will  explore:

• Weighing a distributed integration architecture against a traditional ESB
• How to build for a multi-cloud world and leverage pre-existing code, projects, and assets
• Planning for IoT and edge-native integration as part of the transformational process
• The concept of “APIs around everything”—and “everything around APIs”

Unable to attend? Register anyway and you will receive the recording following the live webcast.

Presenter: Rahul Kamdar, (LinkedIn profile) Director of Product Management & Strategy TIBCO Software,  drives integration product management and strategy. Having worked in varied groups such as development and engineering, and now product management and strategy.  Rahul actively works with and helps manage partnerships with the Cloud Foundry Foundation, AWS, Docker, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, and Pivotal.

B2B Buyers are demanding, empowered and hard to please. They know exactly what they want from sellers.

Even so — despite Customer Experience and sales enablement and AI solutions — sales organizations are struggling to fully understand and meet buyer demands.

That’s why HCI (Human Capital Institute) surveyed 530 B2B buyers.

They wanted to hear directly from them how they’d respond to modifications in seller behaviors.

In this webcast, Deb Calvert (LinkedIn profile) will share our findings about the 30 leadership behaviors buyers respond to favorably. These 30 behaviors cause buyers to take meetings with sellers and to buy from sellers.

Some of these behaviors are bound to surprise you!
