There’s a paradox in the cloud. Public cloud infrastructure has set the standard for increased agility and flexibility — but the cost and refactoring effort is under scrutiny and challenging business’ ability to take advantage of it.

In fact, managing cloud spend is the number-one challenge cited by business leaders in the 2023 Flexera State of the Cloud Report, with 82% of all organizations putting it at the top of the list, even surpassing security concerns (79%).

On top of that, cost management initiatives result in businesses leveraging multiple clouds driving increased complexity. As a result, leaders are taking a second look at their cloud strategies to ensure they can drive the best outcomes.

Join thought leaders from Nutanix as they discuss best practices to continue to innovate in a digital world, while making the most of your on-prem, managed and public cloud investments.

In this webinar, they will discuss how to:

• Define the value and business outcomes driven by your cloud strategy
• Optimize spend and resources in a multicloud environment
  • Refine overall cloud strategy (e.g., public vs private vs hybrid)
• Increase value realization from cloud investments
• Overcome cloud migration challenges

The top priority issues shared by CIOs and IT leaders are similar. The Gartner’s CIO Advisory team has identified the top common themes of CIOs’ priority lists each month.

CIOs and top IT executives say a key priority now is communicating and persuading their stakeholders of the business value of IT, according to monthly CIO priority data compiled by Gartner’s CIO Advisory team.

To accelerate the democratization of digital delivery, IT leaders seek ways to partner more closely with different business units.

They also focus now on redesigning their hybrid and remote working models to attract and retain talent, and drive higher levels of productivity and performance.

In this webinar Jessie Ustjanauskas (LinkedIn profile) Gartner Principal Advisory,  Kyle Owen (LinkedIn profile) Gartner Principal Advisory, & Neal Solanki (LinkedIn profile) Gartner Sr Principal Advisory, explore the top three predictions for CIO priorities in 2023 and beyond.

Discussion Topics:

• Explore appropriate metrics to explain the business value of IT to decision-making executives

Surveys are important tools for gathering the data we use for training evaluation, and they’re easy to compose, right? Wrong!

Survey respondents get frustrated with questions that don’t have response options that match their experiences, or confused by response options that are misaligned with question stems.

Poorly constructed rating scale questions are a particularly common phenomenon, even for experienced evaluators and survey designers!

Did you know that the rating scales we use with survey questions actually influence response?

This makes our decisions about which scales or which intervals to offer even more impactful. We also hold onto myths about how many scale points are best, how to label them, or whether to use an odd or even number of response options.

These beliefs prevent us from asking clear, easy-to-answer questions that yield meaningful, actionable data.

Join Sheila for real-world examples of survey questions, practice in identifying common rating scale problems, and some mythbusting, along with research-based strategies for designing high-quality rating scale questions.

Participants will be able to:

• identify common problems with survey rating scales
• identify common myths in rating scale design
• determine when to use an odd or even number of scale points in a given survey item
• determine when to use midpoints and non-substantive response options in rating scale items
• apply best practices for labeling rating scales
