Greetings!
I recently attended an organizational development class on effectively and efficiently growing a company. At our firm, "sharpening our saws" is an everyday activity so we can bring the best value to our clients, as well as partners.
In this issue, for you to "sharpen your saw" we bring you articles that look to the future: the "Internet of Things" so you can plan for future innovation; and doing "more with less" by learning how to manage distributed Agile teams effectively. And since our brains are a muscle that thrives with the right fuel, tips about the "right" foods.
Software Consortium has been a thought leader in the Baltimore-Washington area for 19 years, advising our clients, IBM, Microsoft, and other technology leaders. We offer software and technology services that are high value, practical, and have helped our clients make their businesses more competitive locally and globally.
All the best, Janet Janet Amirault, President & CEO |

Across the Great Divide: Managing Your
Distributed Agile Team
 Managers can be expected, in today's climate of tight budgets and globalization, to manage a distributed Agile team comprised of both onshore and offshore resources. How do you successfully use an Agile methodology when the teams are not co-located?
Whether your team is distributed in another state or continent, with some adjustment in your Agile practices you can avoid common challenges in the distributed Agile team. |

As Charles Darwin said "It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change."
 As human beings, our flight or fight response to external threats serves us quite well when our survival is threatened. However, in today's world, our instinctive response to stress and threats can result in decreased abilities to think new thoughts as we automatically prepare to defend ourselves.
Senior IT managers and leaders need their best thinking and fully engaged teams to make their IT departments effective today and in the future. In this seminar, you will learn how you can systematically become more effective at leading today's multigenerational workforce.
Gain practical tools you can use immediately:
- Knowledge about core areas of competency for developing your ideals in leadership, leading to higher job satisfaction and productivity for you and your team;
- Self awareness of how your emotions and energy can impact yourself and others, in both positive and negative ways;
- Techniques to rejuvenate yourself during times of stress;
- Advice, support and practical learning from other attendees, who are facing similar challenges.
Join us for this interactive half day seminar and come away with new energy to inspire yourself and your team.
