To stimulate growth in complex environments, companies continuously seek to improve efficiency and find ways to differentiate themselves in the marketplace.

With more than $1.7 trillion in revenue lost due to software failure in 2017 [World Quality Report], many enterprises have already embraced automation and reduced their manual testing efforts.

To achieve this, they rely on various automation frameworks like Selenium and QMetry Automation Studio, as well as the integration of CI/CD tools like Jenkins, Gitlabs, and Bamboo to deliver the true transformation from manual to agile and then to DevOps.

While many organizations are already using test automation and CI/CD to reduce the time to market, there is still a challenge to get actionable data in real time.

Join Siva Ana to learn how intelligent automation processes aided by AI and machine learning can drive quality and provide guidance on test coverage and traceability.

Learn How To::

  1. Increase the potential of your business with software quality through continuous feedback and prescriptive project improvements
  2. Use the power of software quality to develop trust throughout digital transactions and cultivate customer loyalty
  3. Keep up with the accelerating pace of digital transformations
  4. Leverage processes and tools that will take you to a whole new level of software excellence

Agile Wars & How To Avoid Them

At the heart of Agile, we value “individuals and interactions above processes and tools”.

And yet for many years, the various Agile approaches appear to have been at war with one another.

All too often, Agile is offered as a binary choice (“you are either agile or not agile”), together with the recommendation that one Agile approach (usually the one being “sold in”) is all you need.

This all  seems a long way from our original intention that Agile should be a collaborative, cooperative (and pragmatic) approach, targeted at delivering the best solution for the customer.

In this webinar, Barbara Roberts (Signatory of the Agnostic Agile Oath and Director for Professional Development at the Agile Business Consortium) will look at the strengths and weaknesses of the most commonly adopted agile approaches.

Barbara Roberts (LinkedIn profile)  will also focus on the benefits of blending approaches for successful Agile implementation, using a range of examples from different organizations.

This webinar is intended as a starting point to support decision-making for those starting their Agile journey, and those that are experiencing challenges with their current Agile practices.

The World Has Changed
The Next Industrial Revolution Has Arrived

According to the World Economic Forum, we have entered the 4th Industrial Revolution, in which technology has been and will continue to be embedded into society in ways that involve and require entirely new capabilities for people and machines.

Technology has also destroyed the staying power of traditional companies, reducing their average lifespan by two thirds since 1950, and moving the majority of their assets from tangible products to intangible assets, comprised of people and intellectual property.

In short, this means that in this new digital age, skills have become the new currency, and data is the oil that fuels our transactions.

Join Brett Wilson as he discusses the implications of the global skills crisis and how we manage talent over the next five years as it will be completely different from the last twenty years.

This crisis will force a new set of expectations for a modern workforce. A subsequent issue suggests that every job is changing requiring the best companies to reinvent themselves to meet the challenge.

Given all of these challenges, Mr. Wilson will put forth a four-pronged strategy that will consist of the following principals:

  • Create lifelong learning experiences
  • Make recruiting a competitive advantage
  • Personalize talent management processes
  • Bring context and intelligence to HR decisions

Presenter:  Brett Wilson (LinkedIn profile) Director  Cornerstone’s Thought Leadership and Strategy Directorate;  provides advice to clients to align with business goals and objectives. Prior to joining Cornerstone, Brett owned consulting firm where he provided critical HR strategy advice and services to several prominent organizations including Cummins Inc., Raytheon, Bechtel Engineering, Shell Oil, Cognizant, Stanford University, U.S. Pharmacopeia, Thoratec Corporation, and the National Defense University.
