The change we have been talking about for years is here: IT Departments all over the country are being torn apart and reassembled in new and interesting ways, as one by one Canadian companies make their move to the Cloud.
As predicted, IT Pros are being asked to take on new and different roles and to be more involved in the business.
In this session, Andrew will look at some of these new roles; what’s working, what’s failing, who is succeeding and who has been left behind. Being an IT professional today is exciting as it is scary.
There is lots of opportunity; but so many gaps to fall into.
It is time to take inventory and ask yourself: are you well positioned to succeed?

Susanne Madsen presents a thought provoking webinar on project leadership that helps you lead yourself and others more effectively in a project context.
Susanne discusses the differences between management and leadership and how to increase performance, become a project leader and differentiate yourself from the competition.
Susanne believes that a great project manager is first and foremost able to manage his or her own state of mind and that project management success is as much about managing people as it is about managing tasks, plans and resources. As a result she helps people to look inwards and become a better leader; someone who sets a great personal example, who is excellent at inspiring and focusing the team and who also understands how to liaise with the client and senior stakeholders to deliver that which they really need.
