We have all had them. We have also struggle with what to do about them.

Bad leaders—and bad leadership—is an unfortunate but inevitable by-product of organizational life. It is the rare person that won’t experience one, and most of us will experience many. That doesn’t make living under one any easier, fun or simpler over time.

In this webinar Mark Mullaly (LinkedIn profile) author of Researching the Value of Project Management  dives into the depths of bad leadership to understand what it is, what it looks like and why it happens. More importantly, it provides concrete strategies to function, operate and be as effective as you can be while working for a bad leader.

If you have a bad leader now—or you fear you might work for one in the future—this will be a webinar that you won’t want to miss.

By attending this webinar, you will learn how Business Value Engineering helps align stakeholders and delivers the basis for successful change efforts. Business Value Engineering involves understanding how stakeholders perceive value before using that insight to shape the vision for future state offerings and then optimizing the steps needed to get there.

As business colleagues collaborate, they gather and structure knowledge information supported by focused “pathways” that help them answer questions such as:

• Which innovations should we prioritize and why? What are the costs and resources versus the expected benefits identified?
• What does the roadmap look like for a given business capability? What’s the best way of “chunking” change and capability uplifts over time?
• Ultimately, how do we align investment decisions with the potential for value contribution to the things our stakeholders care about?.

For the last decade, there has been a great deal of hope that AI would revolutionize software testing.

This hope was codified in the six levels of autonomous testing first documented in 2017. But there has been fuzziness over what is truly implied at each level of autonomy, and uncertainty about what many solutions actually provide in the way of AI-augmented systems to support full autonomy.

Simple AI used in self-healing scripts, for example, is now commonplace and should be considered table stakes.

In this webinar, Kevin will discuss what it means to achieve true Level-5 autonomous testing, which is a transformational leap beyond what most vendors can deliver. Appvance.ai’s revolutionary Appvance IQ (AIQ) is architected to go far beyond where most organizations operate today.

Join Kevin & learn:

• How AI is used today to traverse your entire application to establish a baseline of all UI and API requests and responses, creating an AI Blueprint that documents every possible user flow through your system
• How AI is used today to automatically develop test scripts for every practical user path
• How AI leverages API production logs to create end-to-end tests based on how users actually interact with your application
• How you can achieve near 100% application coverage with limited effort

You’ll see results from an actual use case with an automotive e-commerce site with over 4 million items in inventory. Their initial Blueprint test run identified 110 bugs not found via the team’s traditional automated and manual testing.

Presenter: Kevin Surace (LinkedIn profile) is CEO & CTO of Appvance.ai and has been awarded 84 patents worldwide. He led pioneering work on the first cellular data smartphone (AirCommunicator), the first plastic multichip semiconductor packages, the first human-like AI virtual assistant (Portico), soundproof drywall, high R-value windows, AI-driven building management technology, AI-driven QA automation, and the window/energy retrofits of the Empire State Building and NY Stock Exchange. Kevin has been featured by Businessweek, Time, Fortune, Forbes, CNN, ABC, MSNBC, FOX News, and has keynoted hundreds of events, from INC5000 to TED to the US Congress. He was INC Magazines’ Entrepreneur of the Year, a CNBC top Innovator of the Decade, World Economic Forum Tech Pioneer, Chair of Silicon Valley Forum,  featured for 5 years on TechTV’s Silicon Spin, and inducted into RIT’s Innovation Hall of Fame.

Cybersecurity is now the number-one spend item on the technology investment list.

In 2022, 88% of boards say cybersecurity is a business issue, not a technical one. Asia-Pacific CIOs and senior IT executives must be able to communicate the risks, value and cost of cybersecurity to their board of directors.

Boards want metrics, measurement and governance that will help protect against ransomware and other threats.

In this webinar, Paul E. Proctor, (LinkedIn profile) Gartner VP Distinguished Analyst, looks at the outcome-driven metrics of cybersecurity and how you can work with your board to design a cybersecurity investment strategy that drives business outcomes.

Discussion Topics:

• Learn how to guide cybersecurity investment as a business value
• Discover how to treat cybersecurity as a business decision
• Communicate outcome-driven metrics to your board of directors
