This session is designed to highlight the critical tools that teams can bring to bear as they negotiate the conflicts that arise in the process of doing business. Teams that avoid conflict or become embroiled in conflict tend to stagnate resulting in poor morale, low commitment, and poor execution.
Contrary to popular belief conflict is normal and essential to developing a high functioning team. Teams that fail to learn how to negotiate conflict can get stuck in power struggles or perhaps even worse, develop a posture of compliance to each other. Both these outcomes lead to a sense of being stuck and ultimately a failure to air and address issues in a timely and effective manner.
Key takeaways
1. Be able to identify common pitfalls associated with conflict.
2. Learn about communication styles that impede or enhance alignment.
3. Learn skills for moving through conflict.

Virtual work is being embraced at an unprecedented rate. Fueled by technology, alternative practices are helping to improve job satisfaction, save costs and boost productivity. At the heart of these trends are virtual meetings, but how do you keep the human connection alive?
Social Media and technology has fundamentally changed the way individuals communicate and businesses engage with consumers to create new relationships and business exposure. With only so much time in a day to devote to marketing and social media, we need to know how to manage our time best to reach our business goals and what tools are already available to help us improve time management for social media. This presentation will address the time challenge that comes with social media and will provide the audience with most necessary tips and tools for time management, such as aggregators, automation, time management apps and insight into the recommended amount of time a good social media strategy requires. 
SharePoint 2010 has evolved from its roots as a document collaboration platform to an integrated suite of Enterprise services. Some of those platform services now include Web Content Management, Records Management, Enterprise Search, Web 2.0 Social Collaboration tools, a rich Business Intelligence suite of tools, and great integration with the Office suite to enable your organization to quickly respond to changing business needs. Also, for Enterprise Architects, SharePoint can become a powerful tool to build applications on the platform to further solve the requirements of your business users.
Join us at this live discussion about one of today’s most critical productivity issues and that is “constant interruptions.” The very moment you begin a task, you are stopped by emails, IMs, colleague visits, phone calls, meetings, and now, tweets and Facebook updates. The very technologies that were invented to enhance productivity have made it nearly impossible to get work done. Not only this, we are bombarded by an unprecedented information overload dominated by the Internet and globalization. This puts unreasonable demands on our work and personal lives, and as a result, we suffer, feel helpless, and our accomplishments decline. This needs to stop!
The Cyber Threat knows no boundaries. Unlike other threats, neither landmasses nor seas can protect us from this enemy. It includes cyber crime, cyber terrorism, and even cyber warfare. It also includes events in which no malice is intended, but much damage is done. The perpetrators come in many forms and have many very different motivations. The threat is growing at an astronomical rate and endangers individuals, businesses, agencies, and even entire governments.
The internet continues to shape our lives: from work to play, from shopping to traveling, from socializing to learning, and more. Online learning therefore is gaining in popularity. Online learning can be a cost-effective and time saving alternative to traditional, physical classrooms. It offers organizations whether large or small the ability to deliver high-quality learning experiences right to the desktop of learners, more efficiently and potentially even more effectively. However, moving from the classroom to online learning is not simply a matter of creating a presentation slide deck, loading an application and putting on a pair of headphones. In this webinar we will review the basic components of the technology required, look at online learning benefits and effectiveness, compare the key elements of classroom and online learning, and look in depth at the five critical success factors. 
In this presentation, Victoria Bellotti, Principal Scientist and the developer of PARC's Opportunity Discovery research will talk about some of the research that she and her team did at PARC (a Xerox company) looking into how people do personal information management (PIM). They discovered that much of it happens in email as opposed to using other means as originally thought. They also discovered that email clients overloaded in terms of what they are being used to support and that overload appears to come from juggling complex interdependent tasks with many outstanding obligations to be tracked. Following that, they examined people doing task management more closely. Based on this extensive research, they developed some prototypes to explore ways to support task and activity management overcome email overload. Join us to hear the details and get valuable insights!
