It’s now been several months since the COVID-19 pandemic forced many countries and industries into lockdown.

Working conditions changed so dramatically that it was a steep learning and adjustment curve not just for project managers to try and keep up with, but also for their organizations.

In this webinar Emily Luijbregts (LinkedIn profile) is  going to look at the ‘new normal’ and how we can thrive in this environment. You’ll receive tips for what you can do to make sure that you’re ahead of the curve.

If there’s one thing the pandemic has taught us, it’s that we can do virtually anything—virtually.
Virtual communication is ubiquitous, cost-effective, and convenient, and it’s here to stay. Zoom in particular has gained enormous traction, although many of us admit we’re also Teams-tortured, ex-Webexed, over-Skyped, and, frankly, Burned Out.

We’ve all “Gone-to-(one-too-many)-Meetings,” and in short, we’ve become unwitting “Slack”-ers. Meetings are scheduled back-to-back—no need to walk down the hall or drive across town—and without breaks for necessities, like a ten-minute meditation or a quick cardio workout up and down the steps.

Frankly, too much of a good thing—anything—can be bad. But the good news is that we’re beginning to understand how virtual meetings affect us mentally, physically, and psychologically. Even better, we’re devising strategies to help us wake up, focus, and beat the burnout.

Join Dr. Constance Staley for an amazing array of awesome antidotes that may help you minimize toxic burnout and maximize your own—and your organization’s—effectiveness.

Presenter:  Dr. Constance Staley (LinkedIn profile) Professor of Communication, University of Colorado, Colorado Springs & is a sought-after conference keynoter and a highly popular trainer. She holds a B.S. in education, an M.A. in linguistics, and a Ph.D. in communication.  Connie was selected as a Fulbright Scholar to teach in the republic of Kyrgyzstan in the former Soviet Union; has won the University of Colorado Outstanding Teacher Award; and was twice nominated for a CASE U.S. Professor of the Year Award.  Connie has published 20 books/editions and recently served as Special Assistant to the Chancellor, leading a university initiative to design a next-generation campus Career Center for students. Connie currently teaches university courses in Communication, Training, and Consulting; Professional Public Speaking Online; and Conflict Management.

Let’s get your strategy down to one page. Yes, one page. Creating a strategy used to be an arduous and lengthy process that lasted months and resulted in a document that was hundreds of pages.

It was WORN — Written Once, but Read Never.

Developing a strategy is easier today, with 15 pages replacing hundreds, but even that is 14 too many.

The companies leading in digital business do not distinguish between “business” and “IT;” they have one story for business success and that is the business story.

So, how do you craft your best story?

Join Heather Colella, (LinkedIn profile) Gartner VP Analyst in this webinar, the first in the three-part “Impactful Storytelling” series, as Gartner expert Heather Colella, creator of “The Art of the 1-Page Strategy,” answers questions from you and your peers on how to develop your most effective strategy.

Discussion Topics:

  • Use storytelling to enable business growth
  • Learn why the one-page strategy is more effective than traditional approaches
  • Find the right model for thinking about storytelling and investment in business capabilities

Needing to embrace mobile test automation but facing analysis paralysis?

You’re not alone. In a recent survey by Kobiton, 25.9% of respondents stated that the largest barrier to entry for test automation is finding the right tools. Not knowing which automation path to adopt can be potentially damaging to your ability to release faster and with higher quality.

However, the right tool for someone else may not be the right tool for your organization. So how do you pick one?

Join Shannon Lee in this webinar for a whirlwind tour of the major testing frameworks you should consider and the advantages and disadvantages of each.

Shannon will look at all the well-known players, both open source and commercial, and even the lesser-known ones that deserve a closer look.

This deep dive into frameworks will allow attendees to leave the webinar with a blueprint in place to help them select the right tool for their organization’s specific needs.

Presenter:  Shannon Lee (LinkedIn profile) Developer Evangelist for Kobiton has 5+ years experience in the technical world of DevOps. With two Bachelor’s of Science degrees in Biology and Mathematics from GSU, Shannon enjoys challenging herself in learning new trends in software development, test automation, and applied data science. Shannon also enjoys engaging individuals with goals of inspiring and encouraging others, especially women in technology, as well as learning from brilliant minds within the DevOps community.
