Milwaukee CIO Executive Summit

Uncovering the mysteries of body language — how people communicate their thoughts and feelings without saying a word — is a decisive first step toward mastering any business and social situation.  Top executives know that detecting split-second signals from your team and  leadership then taking immediate action is crucial to being a persuasive communicator and problem-solver especially during tricky internal matters or high-level negotiations.

During this session you will learn how to:

• Move beyond the vacuum of artificial body language to a behavioral approach based on YOU
• Strengthen interpersonal relationships, be a more decisive leader and manage your nerves better
• Uncover the less obvious needs of others and improve your team’s confidence and competence

Almost every organization uses cloud computing, but many do so without a documented strategy that answers what the organization does in the cloud and why. Without that, leaders can’t maximize the benefits of working in the cloud and find their costs skyrocketing out of control.

• Optimizing cloud scale and execution
• Preparing the organization for what’s next

All this complexity creates operational inefficiency and exposure to vulnerabilities.

Join this session to learn about:

• Creating visibility across disparate systems to resolve the right issues at the right time
• Simplifying ecosystems to improve efficiencies and optimize costs
• Mitigate security vulnerabilities in your applications

• Separating awareness and training from conversations about culture
• Leveraging culture to drive business impact through cybersecurity
• Tailoring approaches to security culture for different levels/groups
