While we live in the information age - with streams of data flowing all around us every day - people and relationships are still the most critical elements. Without the context of relationship that people bring, information is just a string of characters.
To that end, facilitating collaboration and building relationships is a critical component to our knowledge economy. An organization is more than its products or services. It is about the depth of its social network, breadth of knowledge, and the speed by which we can bring ideas to market.

Throughout the years how teams worked has changed. There was a time when one person was responsible for all tasks, project management, business analysis, development and quality assurance and implementation. Then there was a swing to individual roles for each. Now, organizations are realizing the best approach is somewhere in between. Teams have to come together and determine what is necessary to reach their goals and determine who on the team is best to do the work.
This is easier said than done. This presentation will discuss the differences, in skills and tasks, which separate the team roles and discuss specific strategies for building a strong partnership between all team members.
Effective meeting design is the artful expression of today’s creative leader. Thoughtful preparation is key to generating the results you want to create within your team, project, department, and organization.
Reports show that the average worker loses at much as 31 hours a month to unproductive meetings. That's four work days each month and that 1/2 of all meetings are unnecessary.
The multitasking environment of today often leaves little room for focusing on what’s important in organizing, designing, and leading effective meetings. Meeting leaders are often stymied in the land of overwhelm spinning on the hamster wheel of too many meetings, too little time, too little attention, and too few meaningful results. Futility and frustration permeate the collective response to meetings.
Sound familiar?
It doesn’t have to be this way.
You can make a difference. Try something new!
Move from disengaged time wasting meetings that frustrate and confuse to thoughtful meeting design that yield greater efficiencies, add clarity, engage everyone’s skills and talents, and build valuable contributions from you, your people, your projects, and the products and services you are working to deliver.
Learn innovative strategies to:
Engage every meeting participant to have greater impact
Improve performance
Create the outcomes you need to get the job done proficiently
Mindful Innovation, Inc. invites you to a complementary 90-minute introductory session of the innovative program, Designing Effective Meetings: Ten Essential Elements, where you will learn and experience ten vital elements fundamental to designing effective meetings. Even in complex and stressful situations, this meeting design process creates an environment that allows for healthy tension and accelerated performance.
Contact us for a complimentary consultation that will empower you to turn your meetings in proven results.
Building a Lean Culture takes more than just tools training for the front-line. A holistic approach that leaders embrace is more effective.
In this webinar we’ll discuss the four critical components for building a Lean Culture, a simple approach to building a roadmap for Lean Transformation and specific actions you can do to address each component in your organization.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
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.

Alt. GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using ...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:

How can you help your company evolve, adapt, and succeed using Artificial Intelligence and the Metaverse to stay ahead of the competition? What are the potential issues, complications, and benefits that these technologies could bring to us and our organizations?

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
