For decades, leaders and managers have been trained to think and act on upon the assumption that employees and customers are rational beings.

Motivational, organisational and structural approaches have been developed on the premise that people know what is good for them and that they behave accordingly.

Therefore rewards, bonuses, job promotions as well as punishments have been designed to make sure people understand and achieve goals.

However, there is strong scientific evidence that this approach is not just irrelevant but dangerous because it does not accept humans as they are:

  1. Emotional,
  2. Irrational and  …
  3. Primarily focused on their survival.

Management styles need to change and modern leaders have to reconsider their approach.

 The webinar aims to:

  • Understand What Business is Really About Today
  • Familiarize participants with misunderstandings, stereotypes and myths concerning our brain, leadership and management
  • Understand the three brains approach and its relation to leadership
  • Discover various aspects of leadership-related brain rules and protocols
  • Be able to recognize the impact on motivation, engagement, performance and internal communications
  • Learn a comprehensive model for applying brain-based leadership
  • Make your own brain ‘leadership-smarter’ and achieve more!

In this webinar Nikolaos Dimitriadis (LinkedIn profile) provides both the evidence for the need to change and directions on how this should happen. Prepare for the holistic brain leader!

Whether for holiday readiness, specific events, or general performance, many organizations struggle to create accurate testing plans.

Why?

Because they lack visibility into exactly how their customers behave.

In t his webinar Dan Bartow (LinkedIn profile) Principal Product Designer, SOASTA & Lauren Younger (LinkedIn profile) Director of Product Management, SOASTA will explore the details of how test plans are typically created and how they can be drastically enhanced — and even automated — by using actual user behavior data to ensure accuracy and efficacy.

Learn about:

  • Current trends in performance testing
  • Reasons why load testing in production is not optional for most organizations
  • How to use Real User Monitoring (RUM) data to enhance test plans
  • How leading edge data science technologies can drastically reduce costs for expensive load tests and increase revenues by discovering unexpected user behavior
  • How retail organizations use intelligent testing for holiday readiness and other key events

Your takeaway from this webinar will be actionable answers to the question:

  • What should I test, and how should I test it?

The SOASTA Digital Performance Monitoring platform enables the seamless convergence of data, analysis, planning, and reporting. The result: the most accurate performance testing models in the world.

Through deep analysis of Real User Monitoring (RUM) data — such as user paths, user bounce rates, user think time, user geography, third party analytics, and peak analysis (including specific days, times, and pages) — organizations are now able to generate automated test reports that tell them what to test, when to test, where to test, and how (to what load) to test.
