In this session APMG  turns their attention to the worlds of Lean and Six Sigma. Quality improvement has always been at the heart of great service delivery, but how best do you go about getting everyone on the same page?

From exploring ways in which self-service and automation can reduce human error and improve performance, we look a little deeper into the world of taking a laser focus to quality in service management.

Join APMG on this show and ask all the questions you have relating to IT Service Management and get help in figuring out how to get the very best from a live virtual classroom.

In the first half of the show they have general Q&A on the theme, and then in the second half  a focus topic will be chosen where we want to spend a little more time.

Example questions could include:

  • -What techniques can you use to measure service performance?
  • Is there still a role for SLAs?
  • How do you best engage with stakeholders on service change?
  • What does the panel recommend as a Service Improvement method?

APMG uses SLIDO as their question platform. You can add your questions, and vote on others. The most popular questions are prioritised and get a little more time.  You can add your questions now and even during the show. It’s great fun and easy to do.

If you’re in the training business, you’re in the business of behavior change. And, wow, it’s really difficult.

We are all, literally, creatures of habit. Our role in helping people have the courage and discipline to change the way they act is significant and tricky.

You undoubtedly know about the power of habit building (and if not, you should). But we’ve all had the experience of trying to build good habits … and for all our best intent, having them nonetheless wither on the vine.

The step before habit building is understanding the difference between Easy Change and Hard Change. Until you do that, you and your clients will perpetually struggle to make the changes that matter most.

In Michael’s latest practical, fun and interactive session you will learn:

  1. The difference between Easy Change and Hard Change … and why it matters
  2. Why the direct approach to Hard Change rarely works
  3. The foundational coaching question that lies at the heart of Hard Change

Artificial intelligence is not the only thing driving rapid change in data and analytics. There is also swift evolution in how and where analysis can be deployed.

Organizations must understand the business impact of these changes to optimize resources, accelerate change, drive innovation and transform society over the next three years.

In this webinar Frank Buytendijk (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) Gartner Distinguished VP explores how data and analytics leaders can leverage these trends to anticipate, shift and accelerate transformation in the face of disruption, uncertainty and opportunity.

Discussion Topics:

This webinar answers the question, “How detailed should detailed requirements be?” The good news is that there should not be a lot of detailed requirement statements.

The better news is that there are generic structures that can be utilized for recording requirement details – those structures supported by spreadsheets or extended requirements management tools.

This webinar will cover topics such as:

  • Capturing capability-specific NFR operational detail
  • The importance of detailed mock-ups for a UI or Report capability
  • Business-friendly Data Hierarchy Diagrams
  • Capturing requirement detail in structures rather than text
  • How to organize element-level detail within a meaningful business group

Presenter: Dan Tasker (LinkedIn profile) Former proprietor of The UML Cafe,  retired after working and consulting in the IT industry for the past 48 years. He spent the first 10 years working as a developer (called ‘programmer’ back then) in the United States and Canada.  The remainder of his career was spent as a business analyst, in Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. He continues to be passionate about quality requirements and helping business analysts produce them.
