A Panel Discussion

A growing number of countries in Europe, Asia and North America are preparing to reopen their borders to international travelers who are vaccinated.

So, what does that mean for businesses and your organization?

If we are to widely resume prepandemic activities, the public and private sectors must work together to create a single, standardized vaccine verification system framework more akin to the traditional passport data exchange that border agents, airlines, hotels, educators and others trust to be authentic and true.

However, it must be based on globally accepted and adopted interoperability standards if we are to restore both regional economies and the global travel and tourism industry, with a limited impact on individual rights.

In this webinar, a panel of Gartner experts looks at the current initiatives to institute global vaccine certification standards, what it will mean for you and your organization, and whether you should expect to carry a vaccine passport in the near future.

Discussion Topics:

• Whether you soon will need a COVID-19 vaccine passport for personal and business activities
• The current state of play for global standards for digital vaccine certificates
• How digital enables re-openings and must coexist with other means, such as paper

Panelists:

• Donna Medeiros (LinkedIn profile) Gartner Sr Director Analyst
• Chris Howard, (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio), Gartner Distinguished VP Analyst
• Chris Audet (LinkedIn profile) Gartner Sr Director, Research, Team Manager,
• Ben Kaner (Gartner bio) Gartner Sr Director Analyst

Many people rely on the Three Ts when managing risk: Techniques, Tools and Training. A fourth T is more important than these, namely Thinking.

How we think determines what we do. This is particularly true when we are considering risk. When we face uncertainty, we’re not always rational. Instead, we fall back on deep-seated values and feelings about risk, which can often lead to unexpected results.

We react rather than respond, driven by gut-level influences instead of thought-through reasoning. Instead of reacting instinctively towards risk, we should cultivate a mature risk mindset, thinking in a more balanced way about risk.

This will allow us to make better decisions whenever we are uncertain. How we think about risk will determine how we try to manage it, and an inaccurate view of risk will lead to ineffective risk management.

Developing a mature risk mindset will help us to manage risk naturally, as it becomes part of who we are instead of just what we do. And as we think differently about risk, it will change the way we act towards risk.

In this webinar, David describes the six values that underly a mature risk mindset, and explains how to change your thinking and behaviour.

Presenter: Dr David Hillson  known globally as The Risk Doctor (YouTube, Risk Doctor website), David is a thought-leader and expert practitioner, who speaks and writes widely on risk management. He blends thought-leadership with practical application, presenting it in with clarity & humour.  Guided by his motto: “Understand profoundly so you can explain simply” he has advised major organisations, governments, & charities in over 50 countries, on how to create value from risk. He has received many awards for his ground-breaking work in risk management, (Honorary Fellowship of APM, PMI Distinguished Contribution Award etc), and has developed significant innovations that are now widely accepted as best practice.

1. Do you find it confusing when your Selenium test sometimes waits for a page to load and sometimes it doesn’t?
2. Do you get frustrated that you can’t check to see if an alert is present on the page without canceling it?
3. Are you constantly sending timeout commands during your tests?

There are several ways you can customize the behavior of the browser you are using to test when you start a session.

You can leverage these settings to ensure consistent and reliable behavior across different parts of your tests to minimize time spent investigating failures.

The W3C specification for WebDriver has also added several helpful options that are still underused. Additionally, each browser vendor offers custom ways for working with their browser.

In this webinar, Titus Fortner, (LinkedIn profile) Senior Developer Experience Engineer at Sauce Labs, will walk through how WebDriver capabilities work.

Understand how to set and work with:

• Timeout values
• Page loading strategy
• JavaScript alerts
• Insecure Certificates
• File Interactability
• Plus various vendor-specific preferences and extensions

These are the types of results companies like GE and Boeing have seen after utilizing AR with their training:

• Average productivity improvement of 32%
• Tasks completed 46% faster
• Reduced error rates and increased productivity by 25%
• AR training yields a 75% retention rate, higher than almost any other form of training

It has come up time and time again that companies want to get started with augmented reality but don’t know where to start.

Join this session to discover best practices for putting AR to work for your organization, how to implement it, and experience it firsthand.

John & Matt will cover various real world use cases and discuss resources and tools needed to get started.

Walk away with a better understanding of:

• The vast capabilities of augmented reality well beyond photo filters and 3D models.
• How others are successfully putting AR to work to improve their training, learning and development programs.
• How to design your courses and content for augmented reality.
• How to get started with augmented reality and implement it into new and existing programs.
• What tools and resources there are to get started with AR.

During the session, have your supported iOS or Android device nearby so you can experience AR firsthand! All registrants will also receive a white paper on how to get started and demonstration packs with AR experiences to try out.
