In a hyper-connected world, the agile data center helps grow the business by delivering the right services to users in a scalable, flexible and secure.
Businesses today compete at the speed of thought. Nobody can afford to stand still; if a company isn’t looking to render its best-selling products or services obsolete, somebody else will be—and that might be a known competitor or a stealthy startup.
At their best, IT departments are at the forefront of this change, enabling agile transformations of business service delivery to employees and customers. Unfortunately, while IT strives to deliver against its capabilities, too often those capabilities may be restricted because of legacy systems.

Trends in Law Practice Management – Calculating the RisksNicole Garton
Presented by the CBA’s Legal Profession Assistance Conference, the Canadian Lawyers Insurance Association and the National Law Practice Management and Technology Section live via webconference.
The advantages of cloud computing, virtual or online law practices and unbundling of legal services are getting a lot of press – convenience to clients, reduced overhead expenses, remote access, and enhanced access to justice are among the benefits touted. But there are also very real and practical risks, and ethical implications, for each new tool or practice implemented. As these trends infiltrate legal practice in North America, lawyers and law firm leaders need to exercise due diligence to assess the potential risks and benefits.
Our panelists, Nicole Garton-Jones and David Bilinsky will provide a practical overview of these trends in law practice management. In doing so, they’ll provide you with tools to reduce the risk and identify the questions you need to ask yourself, as well as potential third party service providers, your insurers and your law society, when conducting your own risk-benefit analysis.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

History of Prison Industries
The six systems of inmate labor used in the twentieth century:
• Contract system – Private business paid to use inmate labor. They
provided raw materials and supervised the manufacturing process
inside prison facilities.
• Piece-price system – Goods were produced for private businesses
under the supervision of prison authorities. Prisons were paid
according to the number and quality of the goods manufactured.
• Lease system – Prisoners were taken to work sites under the
supervision of armed guards. The private contractor employed them
and maintained discipline.
15. BillikenGroup.com
History of Prison Industries
The six systems of inmate labor used in the twentieth century:
• Public-account system – this system eliminated the use of private
contractors. Industries were entirely prison owned, and prison
authorities managed the manufacturing process. Goods were sold on
the free market.
• Public-works system – Prisoners maintained roads and highways,
cleaned public parks and recreational facilities. They also maintained
and restored public buildings.
• State-use system – Prisoners manufactured only goods that could be
used by other state offices, or they provided labor to assist other state
agencies.
16. BillikenGroup.com
Today’s Reality
• Prisons are overcrowded due to lack of funding to build new prisons.
• We now have more people in prison per capita than any other country
in the world.
• Over 2 million people are behind bars.
• Cost of incarceration per offender averages $30,000 annually.
• Cost to build each cell averages $60,000.
17. BillikenGroup.com
Today’s Reality
• 50% of the State DOC inmates who will be released this year are
likely to recidivate within 3 years.
• 50% of men and women committed to DOC have not earned a
diploma or GED.
• The average reading level at intake is between 6th-8th grade.
• Inmates drop out of public school because they were convicted of a
crime, had academic or behavioral problems, or lost interest.

Because 95% of offenders incarcerated in correctional
facilities will eventually be released and living in our
communities, with our families, children, friends and
coworkers...
