Every organization in every industry across the globe faces the same directive: Innovate or risk becoming obsolete.

Leaders across the enterprise must embrace new ideas and technologies, and often from new sources of inspiration.

Companies increasingly involve business technologists in innovation initiatives, but to leverage them as force multipliers, IT leaders must move from owning innovation to enabling others to innovate autonomously.

Outages are planned shutdowns of plants for maintenance, including preventative maintenance and defects. Preventative maintenance works have pre-defined scope, a job plan and resource requirements built into a maintenance management system.

The problematic area is corrective maintenance scope (i.e., defects). Defects often result in significant increase in outage scope, known as scope creep.

Scope creep is a serious challenge that outage managers, outage engineers and planners face before and during an outage.

In order for us to manage it, it is necessary to understand what scope creep is—and what its causes are.

If the root causes are taken care of, the problem will be solved by itself!

In the webinar Naveed Rabbani (LinkedIn profile) will discuss this in detail based on practical experience and will be followed by Q&A.

Learning outcomes: 

• How to effectively manage and control changes in outages
• How to manage scope during an outage
• How to limit schedule, cost and scope variances

It’s time to move away from “rearview HR”—the idea that resumes and past achievements are the only indicators of future success. Instead of asking if a candidate can do the job, start asking,

“What are they capable of?” In this webinar, we’ll discuss Human Potential Intelligence —a new concept that combines skills and AI to reveal each candidate’s unique capabilities and match them to jobs where they will excel.

As the workforce and roles change rapidly, more ads and more recruiters will not solve the issues of talent scarcity, retention, and outdated processes.

Join and learn how and why matching candidates to jobs based on skills, personality, and interests, instead of jobs titles and past experiences, will build a workforce ready to excel today and tomorrow and empower candidates to reach their full potential.

You will also learn:

• The big trends that Madeline Laurano, Founder of Aptitude Research, predicts will influence hiring in 2024 and why this makes Human Potential Intelligence business critical.
• How technology can match candidates to open roles they might not have considered, but where they will succeed–while also providing workforce intelligence for the future.
•  The practical steps to creating an assessment and selection process that is engaging, efficient and effective–and which puts the right people in the right seats, every time.
