“It is a myth that in order to act like a leader you need to act powerful”, with Penny Bauder & Lisa Partridge

It is a myth that you must act powerful to gain respect — many people confuse being “the one who is responsible” with being “in power” and that in order to “act like a leader” you need to “act powerful”.

Managing change and upskill when you are moving to composable infrastructure

What exactly are the benefits of moving to automated infrastructure provisioning for your company? What does this mean for your future business model? How will you provide new IT and business services over the next 1-2 years? What does this mean for IT teams and each individual?

Composable Infrastructure messaging is typically focused on simplifying tasks and removing IT challenges.

Challenges including:
