A.T. Kearney reached out to more than 2,000 executives, business leaders, and heads of strategy functions to discuss their thoughts on the state of strategy today. Our findings indicate that while most leaders continue to believe in strategy, the return on their strategy initiatives has largely eroded over the past decade. In fact, when asked what it takes to secure a prosperous future, more than 80 percent of executives consider agility as important or more important than strategy when it comes to securing a prosperous future. Fortunately, the findings also point to promising ways to reclaim strategy—including using future-focused tools and techniques and engaging the organization in strategy formulation.

15 Benefits Of Providing Career Pathways In High School | Future Education Ma...Future Education Magazine
Here are 15 benefits of providing career pathways in high school: 1. Clarity in Career Goals 2. Relevance to Real-World Careers 3. Skill Development 4. Higher Graduation Rates 5. Improved Academic Performance
Focusing and working locally - while reaching globallyNathaniel Harvatt
Student recruitment, student experience, rankings and employability are all so important, but how can you do this and still support the local community and economy? Do you look to wealthy international students or recruit from your local talent pool? Do you diversify into new types of teaching?
The intelligent use of ‘big data’ and embracing modern marketing techniques can hold the key to identifying the right students for your university, and giving them more personalised support. Making use of this data/information can not only increase retention rates but can nurture talent, push up attainment and improve the student experience.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
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).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.

2. Changes are
accelerating in
higher education
Shrinking pool of "traditional" students
due to changing demographics
Rise of alternative
education providers
Increasing demand for lifelong
credentialing and skilling
5. Six distinct segments
of learners
Learners within a segment have
commonalities in who they are, which
programs they are in, why they enrolled
and what matters most to them.
However, those goals and mindsets can
differ or overlap with other segments,
creating a challenge for institutions that
serve multiple groups.

23%
Evolving Professionals
Successful, early-stage
workers seeking to expand

intellectual curiosity.
Example: An early-career
professional going back to
school for an MBA and
interested in programs that
emphasize the theoretical and
practical sides of finance.

program with consistently high

13. Retooling student experience
Accenture proposes 4 steps institutions can take to enhance the student
experience and engage and support learner populations
Step 1
Identify
target
learner
segments.
Step 2
Manage
relationships
across the
learner lifetime.
Step 3
Allocate university
resources with a
zero-based mindset.
Step 4
Implement modern,
cloud-based
technology, such as
Enterprise Resource
Planning (ERP) or
Student Information
Systems (SIS).
14. Identify target
learner segments
Institutions need to identify the
learner segments they currently
serve and the target segments they
want to serve moving forward to
clearly understand their needs. This
could include conducting institution-
specific segmentation to understand
the students served and synergies
across segments the institution
currently serves or hopes to serve.
Step 1
15. Manage relationships
across the learner lifetime
Institutions need to be able to follow
a student beyond their journey at
the institution and through their
entire lifetime. Effective master data
management and a robust, university-
wide customer relationship management
(CRM) capability are core to being able
to facilitate a lifelong relationship
with alumni.
Step 2
16. Allocate institutional
resources with a
zero-based mindset
A zero-based mindset can help
institutions identify ways to free up
resources to invest in the initiatives
that will be required to effectively
serve new learner segments.
Step 3
17. Implement modern, cloud-
based technology, such as
Enterprise Resource Planning
(ERP) or Student Information
Systems (SIS)
Implementing leading cloud-based
technology enables a frictionless
experience for students, faculty, staff and
administration. All users are empowered
by self-service from any device, including
mobile, with a user-friendly interface
showing real-time data.
Step 4
18. Methodology
Our research was scoped around learner mindsets, from a variety of institutions, at all adult ages, specifically from
US-based respondents (n=6,536). From this data set, we conducted a Partition Around Medoids (PAM) methodology
to define clusters, resulting in six distinct learner segments.
