Today’s business world is increasingly complex, virtual and requires proficient English skills — and companies are struggling to find the right learning solution.
Though experts are unanimous in saying that most real workplace learning takes place on the job, many companies still insist on enrolling employees in traditional training programs — taking employees out of their work environment and sending them to classrooms.
There’s undeniable value in classroom training, but the expense, lack of relevancy, rigidness of scheduling and absence of consistent quality and success metrics are leading today’s business leaders to turn to blended learning — and they’re using technology to enable this approach.
A mix of self-paced online learning software and instructor-led sessions, blended learning can be a tremendous boon for companies. It offers maximum scale and flexibility, provides a more personalized learner-centric pedagogy and eliminates much of the underutilization of software programs, all while retaining the face-to-face aspects of teacher-led instruction that many cherish.
Still not convinced that blended learning is the right solution for your company’s formal learning needs? Join this free, 45-minute webinar, and:
Learn how to easily apply different blended learning programs designed to support your global workforce’s diverse needs.
Review real-world examples of how some of the world’s top companies have solved key challenges with business English blended learning solutions.
Get practical tips and your questions answered by recognized experts in the field.

Talk for the Vancouver User Experience group on October 16, 2007 about the user experience of usability projects and how we've re-designed our process.
Is Agile Software Development the silver bullet you are looking for? Enterprise Applications Practice Principal, Joe Newton gives a 200-level view of Agile at Intergen.
This presentation looks at the implications of adopting an Agile Software Development approach; the responsibilities it puts on the business team, and the discipline it requires of the technical team.
And finally it explores some of the common complications that can arise in an Agile Software Development environment and some strategies for addressing them.
High-performance (as measured by sub-millisecond response time for queries) is a key characteristic of the Redis database, and it is one of the main reasons why Redis is the most popular key-value database in the world.
In order to continue improving performance across all of the different Redis components, we’ve developed a framework for automatically triggering performance tests, telemetry gathering, profiling, and data visualization upon code commit.
In this talk, we describe how this type of automation and “zero-touch” profiling scaled our ability to pursue performance regressions and to find opportunities to improve the efficiency of our code, helping us (as a company) to start shifting from a reactive to a more proactive performance mindset.

Scaling Agile at Dell: Real-life Problems - and SolutionsTechWell
The transition from waterfall-based software development to an agile, iterative model carries with it well-known challenges and problems-entrenched cultures, skill gaps, and organizational change management. For a large, globally distributed software development organization, an entirely different set of practical challenges comes with scaling agile practices. Last year the Dell Enterprise Solutions Group applied agile practices to more than forty projects ranging from a collocated single team project to projects that consisted of fifteen Scrum teams located across the US and India. Geoff Meyer and Brian Plunkett explain how Dell mined these real-life projects for their empirical value and adapted their agile practices into a flexible planning model that addresses the project complexities of staffing, scale, interdependency, and waterfall intersection. Join Geoff and Brian to see how they tackled the tough, real-life problems scaling agile at Dell: functional-based organizational boundaries, globally distributed teams, contractor challenges, multi-team projects, and dependencies on teams that continued to develop using waterfall methods.

"Of course, you prefer to take players who are fully fit, but that's okay. We want to wait and be patient for some players even if they cannot play in those first matches," he told a press conference. The 37-year-old Vertonghen, Belgium’s Euro Cup 2024 most-capped international with 154 appearances, is struggling to shake off a groin injury.
"He will be there normally. This also applies to Youri Tielemans and Arthur Theate. The latter's position is very sensitive. We don't have many choices at left back. "It will only change if it turns out that they will only be available when, say, the final of the Euro 2024 Championship comes around. That's too long to wait. "However, I am confident that the injured boys are on track for the Euros.
Belgium vs Romania: Radu Dragusin Prepares for Crucial Role in Euro Cup Germany
Some of them have taken not one but two steps forward in their rehabilitation," he said. None of the injured players will feature in this week’s warm-up friendlies against Montenegro and Luxembourg. Romania centre-back Radu Dragusin found chances limited at Tottenham Hotspur in the second half of the 2023-24 season.
But is crucial to his country's cause at UEFA Euro 2024 where his aerial ability, physicality and hard graft make him a standout player. The 22-year-old moved to North London from Italian side Genoa in January but was kept on the sidelines by the form of another new arrival for the season, Mickey van de Ven, something Romania coach Edward Iordanescu admitted was a concern.
It will mean limited game-time going into the finals, but Dragusin, who cites Netherlands defender Virgil van Dijk as a role model, started every Euro Cup Germany qualifier as Romania went through the campaign unbeaten in their 10 games. He will be among their most important players in their first game in Germany against Ukraine in Munich on June 17, taking the right centre-back role in what is likely to be a back four.

Narrated Business Proposal for the Philadelphia Eaglescamrynascott12
Slide 1:
Welcome, and thank you for joining me today. We will explore a strategic proposal to enhance parking and traffic management at Lincoln Financial Field, aiming to improve the overall fan experience and operational efficiency. This comprehensive plan addresses existing challenges and leverages innovative solutions to create a smoother and more enjoyable experience for our fans.
Slide 2:
Picture this: It’s a crisp fall afternoon, driving towards Lincoln Financial Field. The atmosphere is electric—tailgaters grilling, fans in Eagles jerseys creating a sea of green and white. The air buzzes with camaraderie and anticipation. You park, join the throng, and make your way to your seat. The stadium roars as the Eagles take the field, sending chills down your spine. Each play is a thrilling dance of strategy and skill. This is what being an Eagles fan is all about—the joy, the pride, and the shared experience.
Slide 3:
But now, the day is marred by frustration. The excitement wanes as you struggle to find a parking spot. The congestion is overwhelming, and tempers flare. The delays mean you miss the pre-game excitement, the tailgate camaraderie, and even the opening kick-off. After the game, the joy of victory or the shared solace of defeat is overshadowed by the stress of navigating out of the parking lot. The gridlock, honking horns, and endless waiting drain the energy and joy from what should have been an unforgettable experience.
Our proposal aims to eliminate these frustrations, ensuring that from arrival to departure, your experience is extraordinary. Efficient parking and smooth traffic flow are key to maintaining the high spirits and excitement that make game days special.
Slide 4:
The Philadelphia Eagles are not just a premier NFL team; they are an integral part of the community, hosting games, concerts, and various events at Lincoln Financial Field. Our state-of-the-art stadium is designed to provide a world-class experience for every attendee. Whether it's the thrill of game day, the excitement of a live concert, or the camaraderie of community events, we pride ourselves on delivering a fan-first experience and maintaining operational excellence across all our activities. Our commitment to our fans and community is unwavering, and we continuously strive to enhance every aspect of their experience, ensuring they leave with unforgettable memories.
Slide 5:
Recent trends show an increasing demand for efficient event logistics. Our customer feedback has consistently highlighted frustrations with parking and traffic. Surveys indicate that a significant number of fans are dissatisfied with the current parking situation. Comparisons with other venues like Citizens Bank Park and Wells Fargo Center reveal that we lag in terms of parking efficiency and convenience. These insights underscore the urgent need for innovation to meet and exceed fan expectations.
Slide 6:
As we delve into the intricacies of our operations, one glaring issue emer

- Pricing and demo version should be made readily available for ease.
- Acumen seems to be great tool for developing risk schedules however it may
not an ideal s/w for assessing Level III working schedules due to non
acceptance of limited soft constraints, SS lags etc.
Overall Score
During the testing, we found Fuse as very versatile, analytical and quality
assurance tool for Project Schedules. Acumen’s “forensic analysis” has an
5. ability to compare multiple schedules, or iterations of the same schedule to
identify differences as well as understand the root cause of the delays. Its “logic
analysis” allows you to quickly check all logic links within the project (or multiple
projects) and lastly, Acumen’s “metric analysis” includes over 250 schedule,
cost, risk, EV & performance metrics Such as open ends, logic density™,
number of critical activities, soft & hard constraints, high and –ve floats,
durations, number of lags, and maximum lag in its “Ribbon Analyzer”
These key analytics aid in ensuring project schedule pass through the tripwire
and hence worth recommending
