Talented individuals who successfully manage people and projects but who do not manage the relationship with their bosses run the risk of damaging their own careers and negatively impacting organizational success.

Managing up is the ability to manage the relationship with your boss.

It is not about political maneuvering, manipulation or promoting your self-interests.

Rather, it’s the process of working with your boss to obtain the best possible results for the two of you and for your organization.

Understanding the dynamics of this relationship and knowing how to manage it is essential to your personal fulfillment and career development.

This webinar will help you:

• Examine the interdependent relationship between you and your boss.
• Get to know your boss: Understand his or her style and adjust your own style to meet it.
• Know which behaviors are designed to develop a positive and productive relationship with your boss and which are not.
• Develop strategies to deal with a difficult boss.
• Become a valuable asset to your boss and to your organization.

As organizations fund and initiate project after project, teams often work off of sketchy project charters, unsure of the focus or expected outcome of each effort.

Often times, teams feel that the list of prioritized projects is a result of random selection and are left wondering how the project fit into the overall corporate direction, if at all.

What’s lacking are the tools and techniques for defining Strategic Plans and transforming these plans into prioritized initiatives.

Attend this segment of the 5 part series on The Living Strategic Plan to learn how to document an organizational assessment to achieve critical alignment on the core drivers that serve as the foundation for and influence the creation of a realistic Strategic Plan.

In this 1 hour in-depth webinar participants will:

• Identify gaps between what Customers expect and what the organization can deliver
• Gain alignment on the 5 – 7 major functions each organization provides
• Clarify products and services associated with current and future initiatives
• Assess the strengths and weaknesses of the organization which will influence how the Strategic Plan can be achieved

Industry experts estimate that new data is created at the rate of about an Exabyte per day.

As technology professionals, we attempt to deal with our share of this data overflow on an ongoing basis. We create new systems and add various types of media to hold it all, but when we absolutely have to locate all of it, do we really know where it all exists? For most organizations, the answer is no.

With this webinar we would like to discuss where the non-obvious data exists on your systems, why you might need to know, and who might be asking for it. This web seminar is for all levels of IT management.

The topics to be covered will be:

• What is discovery and why does an IT professional need to care?
• Who is going to be demanding your data and what they will do with it?
• Forensic Data – the hidden resource most people know how to ask for, but very few know how to get
• Preparing for the inevitable by planning ahead
