In this webinar, Dr Penny Pullan will share insights into how to deliver lasting results collaboratively through in-person, virtual and hybrid workshops, taken from her forthcoming book on the subject.

• As a programme or project manager, do you need to be able to run really effective meetings and workshops as part of your role?
• Would you like to feel confident working with challenging and diverse groups, and with senior leaders?
• Do you want to deliver lasting results collaboratively, whatever the environment?

Most programme and project managers have no training in facilitation skills and yet they need these skills more than ever in these days of virtual and hybrid working.

This event will cover the process of designing and delivering engaging, well-run and effective sessions, starting with an initial idea and through careful, step-by-step preparation to running them successfully, despite the inevitable challenges.

Penny will touch on design for virtual, hybrid and in-person workshops and explore how to make it likely that actions will happen as a result.

The webinar will also draw on aspects of neuroscience, social psychology and facilitation theory to explain where all of this comes from.

You’ll leave with ideas and tips that you can apply immediately to improve your programme or project workshops and meetings, an understanding of why they work and, we hope, a curiosity to find out more and become even better at workshops.

Agile methods, including iteration and incremental thinking, can work very well to relieve stress and sustain resilience in the face of hard times, particularly due to COVID-19.

Join this webinar to take away key strategies to manage emotional and mental health and stay happy, healthy, and productive.

Sustaining productivity, resilience, and emotional health can be difficult enough during relatively normal times, but in the time of COVID-19, staying emotionally above water has become far more difficult.

One method we have found successful is to structure daily and longer-term plans in an Agile way, using iteration and incremental thinking to build resilience in the face of COVID-19.

Learn from lead instructor NK Shrivastava’s strategies to stay resilient during challenging times in this webinar. Attendees will leave with key strategies to manage emotions, stress levels, and other mental health aspects.

A recent study conducted by Aite group found that 97% of financial apps have no protections against decompiling and viewing source code.

In fact, of the 4+ million apps in Google’s Play Store and Apple’s App Store, the majority are not sufficiently protected to stop even the most basic reverse engineering attack.

This is especially concerning with faster release and shorter testing cycles creating more frequent opportunities to introduce new vulnerabilities into production.

Apps can be your biggest asset – how can you prevent them from becoming your biggest liability?

With app security expertise in short supply, organizations are often limited to protecting only their most critical apps.

Not anymore!

New innovations in app security make it easy – and cost-effective – to incorporate app protection into your DevOps pipeline and provide the right level of protection to all your apps.

Join Mike Woodard, (LinkedIn profile) Application Protection Product owner at Digital.ai, formerly Arxan Technologies, to learn more about:

• Recent application security breaches and lessons learned
• A tiered approach to identifying essential levels of app protection needed
• A risk-based approach to moving from reactive to proactive app protection
• Best practices for incorporating App Security in all DevOps pipelines
