September 2021 PMI-4C Monthly Meeting (Telepresence Only)

Join us on Thursday, September 23rd for Our Monthly Webinar Presentation: Enterprise Empathy for a Remote Workforce Speaker: Dr. Gautham Pallapa About the Presentation: Almost all organizations that had to switch to a hybrid or remote workforce over the last two years realized that their existing processes and operating modes are not as scalable as they thought they were. We need to rethink and reimagine our current processes for a remote workforce. Unfortunately, this shift creates considerable stress on employees, resulting in reduced productivity, bureaucratic processes, reduced accountability, and reduced team members' psychological safety. This talk highlights the necessity and benefits of empathy in business transformations, especially in these challenging times. In this session, we will explore How Lean, Agile, and DevOps methodologies are enabling us to become more human-centric and empathetic. How we are adapting rapidly to a new world with the help of technology and processes. How we can find optimism even in the face of adversity and innovate for a better humanity.
