We stand on the verge of the 20th anniversary of a curious date: one where, for many reasons, the world didn’t end.

Y2K was a global project of immense proportions, as organizations literally raced against the clock to prevent their information systems from failing as the rest of the world celebrated the dawn of the new millennium.

For the most part, they kept going. This webinar takes a retrospective view of the Y2K project, one of the largest coordinated systems efforts that the world has yet seen; it offers an alternative perspective and far more insight into the management underpinnings of how to manage an effort that was complex, diffuse and world-wide.

In this webinar Peter de Jager will have no choice but to reiterate what the technical problem was, how we got into that sticky situation, what made it a peculiar type of problem, and how the technical issue was ‘fixed.’

More importantly, it will also explore how we shaped our projects to mitigate this unique global problem.

In an hour, this webinar covers a number of significant organizational challenges.

Join Peter for a look back at a global incident that monopolized the activities of nearly all IT departments through the 1990s. Peter will explore what we’ve learned, what we still have to figure out, and what we are perilously close to once again forgetting.

Presenter:  Peter De Jager

5G is the next-generation of mobile networks beyond the 4G LTE mobile networks existing today. The vision of 5G is becoming clearer and most experts say 5G will feature network speeds that are blazingly fast at 20 Gbps or higher and have low latency at mere milliseconds!

Companies that can convince their staff to embrace what 5G is trying to do, will reap continuous deployment, incrementally adding new capabilities at the pace of a new “G” per year, but without the pain of each giant leap to convert from one G to the next.

The entire 5G approach takes advantage of containers, virtualization, SDN and NFV.

This webinar will introduce you to 5G features and architecture, and the supporting technologies.

1. Why 5G – The untold story
2. 5G service-based architecture
3. Technologies Supporting 5G

Even as legal departments ramp up their technology investments to streamline processes and adapt to rapidly increasing business demand, more than 50% of them report limited return from these costly investments.

All too often legal leaders let vendors determine their technology strategy, investing top dollar in benefits and solutions that do not align to urgent business needs.

Leading legal departments maximize results from their technology strategy when it is driven by a clear understanding of department needs and rigorous prioritization of where to invest to receive the strongest returns.

In this webinar Jim Murphy, (LinkedIn profile) Gartner Sr Director Analyst & Chris Audet (LinkedIn profile) Gartner Director, Team Manage arms  leaders with the guidance they need to cut through the vendor hype to confidently assess and develop a long-term legal technology strategy.

Discover what tools you need to evaluate, plan for and implement smart legal technology investments.

Discussion Topics:

• How technology helps legal departments transform and innovate
• How to use an outcome-driven approach to establish a legal technology strategy
• Assess the vendor landscape and identify the right opportunities to invest in technology

As project managers, we strive to learn from our past experiences, and we guide and teach others to do the same. We leverage approaches such as lessons learned to fine-tune the methodology, all to make each project better than the last, and sometimes we succeed.

However, when navigating the domain of the unpredictable, these traditional lessons learned often “come up short” for advice, hence the need for a different type of lesson that George Freeman (LinkedIn profile) calls “strategic lessons learned.”

Each lesson has a short quote that is purposed to help one retain the value of the lesson, and to keep it more entertaining the quotes are written using rhetorical humor, satire and a touch of inspiration – but you can be the judge of that.

George will provide context and background for each lesson with the hope of providing project managers of all types and experience levels a variant way of looking at issues and concerns that impact your projects.
