Steps To Developing A Strategic Mindset

Many organizations have the tendency to lose their grasp on long-term plans in order to get immediate results. That’s why strategic thinking skills are essential for employees at all levels.

Everyone needs to be able to evaluate ideas, devise alternatives, make hard choices and align tactics to reach business objectives.

This program offers you a powerful introduction to the expanded course AMA’s Strategic Thinking seminar, explaining the combination of concepts around the skills needed to think strategically, and the practices that allow participants to develop and hone their skills in a classroom environment.

This course is designed for people who want to be able to move beyond day-to-day, reactionary thinking to gain a more long-term and future-focused perspective.

In This Session Learn:

  • Traits that determine the ability to think strategically
  • An introduction to AMA’s 9-part model for strategic thinking
  • Tips for putting the model into practice in your daily life

Today’s enterprises are driven by software. With most companies depending on a mix of internally hosted and SaaS-based applications, how do you ensure that all of these mission-critical applications are continuously empowering users rather than hindering them?

Traditional application performance monitoring (APM) and real user monitoring (RUM) solutions are wonderful tools for digging deep into technology issues as they arise, but they can present challenges when your primary goal is to measure application availability and performance, or when you don’t have control over the infrastructure.

Synthetic monitoring, however, monitors your applications by simulating users and directing the path taken through the application.

This directed monitoring doesn’t require changes to your application or servers and allows you to focus on availability and performance, so it offers many advantages as a primary solution or as a way to bolster your existing monitoring.

Join this web seminar to learn how to use synthetic monitoring within your data center to effectively monitor all of your critical applications.

Learn

  1. The advantages of synthetic monitoring for tracking availability and performance of internal and third-party applications
  2. The pros and cons of synthetic monitoring compared to APM and RUM
  3. How synthetic monitoring can be used to monitor external application dependencies such as third-party APIs

Presenter: Troy Presley Sr. (LinkedIn profile) Solutions Engineer Apica brings 10+ years of experience in synthetic technical project management. He has a proven ability to communicate with both management and technical teams, and successfully drive projects from strategy to development and implementation.

Elections bring new political leaders and 2018 will see at least 18 new U.S. governors elected.

These new leaders often have different ideas about what government should or should not be doing, how it functions and consequently, IT’s priorities. Public sector CIOs can be prepared for and emerge as important contributors in a new administration by understanding commitments made during a campaign and the issues a new governor will prioritize.

In this webinar John Kost (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) Gartner VP provides actionable advice you can use to prepare for a change in government leadership. You will learn what you need to do to survive and thrive when that change occurs.

Discussion Topics:

  • What you should be doing prior to election day
  • Actions to take during the transition period after election day
  • Areas to focus on in the early days of a new administration
