The document summarizes a webinar on maximizing the impact of research insights. It discusses establishing credibility with clients, understanding their needs and communication styles, and focusing insights by understanding the client's culture and priorities. Effective communication requires both "push" skills like assertiveness and feedback, as well as "pull" skills like active listening, rapport building, and questioning assumptions.
IT BA Pre Sale Consulting
The document discusses presales engagement and how it is changing from traditional to more digital approaches. It provides examples of different ways presales consultants can engage prospects online, including through resource centers, customer communities, support centers, self-service demos, and videos. The key takeaways are that presales efforts are important for complex B2B sales, they affect the early stages of the buying process before sales involvement, digital engagement shortens sales cycles and reduces costs, presales should engage prospects across multiple channels, and content marketing and segmentation are foundational for presales.
The trouble with Marketing
The document discusses challenges facing Chief Marketing Officers (CMOs) and proposes solutions. It notes that CMOs have shorter tenure than other C-suite roles and struggle to prove their value. This is often due to poorly defined roles and metrics. The document recommends that CMOs: 1) Implement a clear process for experimentation and learning similar to what is used for product development; 2) Invest more resources in optimizing the upper part of the online customer funnel where returns are highest; 3) Focus on lower-cost marketing channels that can be scaled rather than more expensive options that may only break even. Adopting these approaches can help CMOs better manage risk, allocate resources efficiently, and avoid overly optimistic economic assumptions.

It discusses conducting an educational phase to develop political support, then a feasibility stage to determine viable options. If feasible, the design and implementation stage executes the project. Key areas covered in a feasibility study include services, operations, architecture, finances, and governance. The summary outlines the main components and goals of each project phase.
Investor Presentation Template
The document provides guidance on developing an effective 12-slide pitch deck to attract investors. It outlines the key slides to include such as an introduction, problem statement, market opportunity, team, solution, customers, go-to-market strategy, competition, financials, milestones, and summary.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
