Yes, many agree that lecturing in webinars can quickly become boring and kills learning.

• But what could be a better alternative?
• More teasers and warm-ups?
• Additional break-out sessions?
• How about more exercises and activities?

All of the aforementioned techniques are palliatives. They do not change the core problems of lecturing in webinars. The key problem is that we keep “telling” participants instead of helping them reflect and apply ideas.

In this webinar, Ray will share examples and templates that will help you to strategize for your webinars — veering away from lecturing to encouraging reflections.

Topics to cover:

• You lecture in face-to-face events, hence, you naturally do the same thing in webinars.  Why? How do you break this habit?
• How should you break down your content and translate it into reflections?
• How do you use the combination of pre and post engagements to break loose from dumping too much content into a one-hour webinar?
• What are the 7 critical habits to change in webinar preparation and delivery?
• Observe, watch, and experience how Ray delivers “No-lecture webinars”.

The demand for faster software releases has created new challenges for those that fail to test earlier and more frequently in the Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC). Bugs found post release instead of in the early stages of the SDLC cost organizations significant sums of money and irreversible damage to their brand, customer retention, regulation compliance, and the overall bottom line.

By deploying AI analytics in conjunction with shift left, organizations can increase product release efficiency and minimize costs associated with reactive remediation.

Shift left allows organizations to remain proactive as it pertains to unit, functional, and non-functional testing (performance and security), in order to properly enable both business and technical users to execute tests early and often.

This ensures consistent quality, full visibility, security, and faster time to market. By also deploying AI capabilities, QA and dev teams can start testing even earlier, test smarter and streamline critical decision making in the testing cycle.

Join Guy Arieli (LinkedIn profile) CTO QA, Digital.ai & Juan Lugo (LinkedIn profile) Product Marketing Manager – Testing, Digital.ai; in this webinar for a closer look at how to align distributed teams with unified business metrics.

Guy & Juan will cover creating effective, testing strategies, as well as:

• The benefits of prioritizing testing earlier in the SDLC
• The necessary cultural shift and how to organize teams for success
• Creating synergies to increase productivity between teams
• Leveraging AI and ML to create efficiencies and optimize testing
• Automated test execution for non-technical users

With a growing demand for advanced data analytics across projects, its been a case of adapting or being left behind for both organisations and individuals. At this masterclass we have real case studies of organisations and individuals who have brought data analytics to the forefront of their work.

A Panel Discussion

As spending ticks up as we move toward a postpandemic era, cost-cutting might not be the top executive priority anymore, but strategic cost optimization remains critical.

The Gartner 2020 Business Cost Optimization Through a Crisis Survey found that effective cost managers were 40% more likely to see positive business performance during the pandemic.

The urgent question now is, how do you strategically invest your resources to achieve desired business outcomes? Efficiency gains made through strategic cost optimization can be easily reinvested into the digital business acceleration strategy.

Treating cost management as a reactive play when costs need to be cut means executives are playing with one less ace in hand.

In this webinar, a panel of Gartner experts:

1. Samantha Ellison (LinkedIn profile) Gartner Sr Principal, Advisory
   • Samantha looks further into insights from the  webinar, “Leading Through COVID-19: Finance Leaders’ Guide to Manage Costs in 2020.” (1 pdu)
2. Matthias Graf, (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) Gartner Sr Director Analyst
3. Srinath Sampathon (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) Gartner Sr Director Analyst

break down some building blocks of effective cost management – standard frameworks, clear measures of success and cross-functional collaboration — to help you craft a winning strategy that can maximize spending and invest in your future.

Discussion Topics:

• How cost management priorities shifted through the current crisis
• What separated effective cost managers from others during the pandemic
• How functional executives collaborate on strategic cost optimization
